On the Internet, even if you're "ironically" being something, it doesn't matter - in text, where it's difficult to interpret intent, if you're being something ironically, you're still being that thing. And for those that find it hard to interpret the irony, all they see is you being that thing.

Yeah, I agree that Poe's law is a thing. I'm not going to argue that 14-year-old me had terribly good judgement, and while I didn't really post any racist nonsense on 4chan, I did laugh at it, and I look back at that and cringe.
