Schrodinger's Irony

When someone says something that is of controversial nature, then decides whether it was irony or not based on the other people's responses.

Guy 1: "I fucking hate everyone"
Guy 2: "That's not very nice..."
Guy 1: "Chill, it's just a joke ok?"
Guy 2: "Yeah sure, that's just Schrodinger's Irony"

Schrödinger’s Irony

Schrödinger’s Irony is when a meme is racist, sexist, homophobic, or otherwise offensive. The OP of the meme decides if it was ironic or not based on the reception it gets, thus being ironic and non-ironic at the same time.

“It’s Schrödinger’s Irony! My meme is racist and not funny, you say? Well then it was merely ironic!”
