EPTIs it at all related to Romania's somewhat recent entrance into the EU? Does it have anything to do with a specific thread or post I seemed to have missed?
If somebody could clear this up for me, I will be eternally grateful. Thanks!

Inc wasn't really being sarcastic there so much as facetious, dry, and non literal... sarcasm generally requires a nested insult. This one didn't help their case either though... http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=104117 | ||

And I don't know why Idra keeps trying to bash Europeans. American SC fans hate him for his BM. The Europeans like it. He should bash some silly Americans next time. | ||

But after that it just evolved whenever a romanian would be seen as not getting the sarcasm. Lol Idra... you're american, you don't even know where europe is on the map. (can you spot the sarcasm here?) This meme is funny indeed but since it's perpetuated for so long it may be a bit of truth in it. We do use a lot of sarcasm when talking not only in romanian but also in english. There are cultural differences between parts of the world that also influences how people see humor and sarcasm/irony. The difference between european and american humor are sometimes outstanding, and sometimes there aren't any. Same as for european parts, west side's appreciation of humor isn't exactly the eastern europe's appreciation. And i've noticed that multiple times. Just like the difference between people, some like certain jokes some detest them. But on a macro scale for regional appreciation of certain humor types it's all in the culture. About why we "apparently" fail to get sarcasm here in certain situation i don't know the motive. It's probably a conglomerate of motives. First is that in romanian (for example) sarcasm/irony is way easier to spot due to non verbal language (starting from intonation to gestures) and failing to see some's intonation/gestures can mislead your beliefs of the text's nature. Also maybe english not being the language you speak all day long, you can't understand all of it's particularities, expressions and ways of use. | ||
