older reddit post [CW: some ableism in the comments] but its hilarious how thoroughly OP was bullied. They also claimed to be a teacher who "works with mental health professionals" so they couldn't possibly be out-of-touch :hasan-ok-dude:

    It's Poe's Law in action

    Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is utterly impossible to parody a Creationist in such a way that someone won't mistake for the genuine article.

    There's simply no degree of bizarre anti-social behavior that is so outlandish that no one would ever do it. You'll think you're writing the most over the top, ridiculous, unbelievable, impossible satire of a human being and then the guy at the bar next to you will sigh and with the longest, most tired face say "Yeah, my family is just like that too".
