irony poisoning

Irony poisoning is when one's worldview/weltshauung/reality tunnel is so dominated by irony and detachment-based-comedy, that the joke becomes real and you start to do things that are immoral or wrong from a place of deep nihilistic cynicism.
"Why would John do this to me?"
"It's irony poisoning, ma'am. Seen it a million times."

Ironstrange 

The pairing between a magician neurosurgeon wizard Dr. Strange and a billionaire who’s Iron Man. The pairing comes from the movie Infinity War, and if you watch it to the point you see the sexual tension you’ll realize it’s just a rom com about two straight guys trying to not fall in love with each other by technically just making fun of one another. There’s fan arts about the two, fan fictions, heck, even cosplays! But the most important thing to learn about Ironstrange is that it blows the Stony shippers away, seriously.
Man, ever since Infinity War came out, I really started shipping ironstrange over stony. They have little in common but both are hotttttttt.

irony squared 

Irony as an external attribute; beyond the qualities of an implicit component. Irony as a subjectively-applied attribute of an object which ALREADY contains internal ironic components. Irony that falls outside of the bounds of postmodernism. Postmodernists call it post-irony and ascribe it primarily to post-postmodernism; although much of post-irony arcs farther, into hypermodernism. Includes ironic nihilism, ideal ironicism (aesthetic), and ironic identity (racial; collective conciousness). Popular in the alt-right messaging approach

A number of late 90’s postmodern academics considered second-degree existential irony to be a boundary of postmodernism rather than external to postmodernism itself; however this analysis did not take into account the unique attributes of nihilism as compared to existentialism as a whole
Ironic nihilism is an example of irony squared because nihilism itself already contains implicit irony.

Bruce Ironstaunch 

The most gar background character to appear in any anime series ever, Bruce Ironstaunch appeared in Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann twice. Once, when he was seen making a rude gesture in the middle of a cheering crowd, and once more when he threw a stone that split open the freakishly wide forehead of Rossiu (jerk extraordinaire).

Bruce has since gone down in history as one of the most manly men of anime.
Dude, Bruce Ironstaunch is so freaking badass. Did you see how he threw that rock?

Hood Irony 

1. On Reddit, just straight up gay porn.

2. On TikTok, hood irony is kind of funny. It is mostly consisting of the "SpongeBob in Memphis" video with walking/dancing silhouettes, sometimes not having the green screen removed for comedic purposes, and subscribe overlays all over the screen. There's also this "💈 Bro wanted Boosie Fade but got this instead 😂" image, that sometimes appear in hood irony slideshows.

3. Hood irony is also consisted of DreamyBullXXX videos, but cropped and with another context.
