Your concerns are themselves ironic. I'm so confused.

I don't understand what you're saying but would like to. What did you identify as my concerns and in what way are they ironic?

I think the joke is that you're choosing to upvote a post, and by proxy the person who wrote it, in relation to the horrifying "upvote" centered plot of the television episode quoted. It's upvotes all the way down.

Presumably the irony arises from your confusion as to if you should add or remove social reputation from a comment discussing an episode primarily about the near future of adding and removing social reputation.
