Tonetags are used by chronically online dumbasses who don’t know how the fuck to talk to people outside of discord. You know that if someone uses these that they sit on their asses all day whining about diddly shit.
Dad: “Son, you use tonetags?”
Son: “Yeah, why?”
Dad: “I don’t love you, i’m going to beat the ever living shit out of you, you limey prick.”

I advise people to use tone tags to prevent future confusion and distress.

Guide:

Tone Tags 

Originating form /s and /j in early internet culture, standing for sarcasm and joking, since they can't be communicated easily over text. They were based on the end tags in HTML (i.e. "</sarcasm>").

Newer ones were created on Carrd and are predominately used on TikTok, Twitter, Discord. These include /gen for genuine, or /srs for being serious.

While they may help some autistic and those mentally ill and were created for neurodivergent people, they can also cause communication to be more difficult or be a trigger for anxiety. Especially since they're sometimes used to troll or make fun of people. They're also often criticized for being confusing and needing to have a Carrd open to understand what someone is trying to say.

Always ask if a person is okay to use tone tags for them or not, don't assume.
"Wow your art is so good!!! /gen"
"Why would that be non genuine?"

"I just like to use tone tags /nm /gen"

"I should hope you're not mad and being genuine?"
