If you're explaining every single joke in the same sentence as the joke (which is what /s is), it's not funny. Humour is not, nor has it ever been, about inclusion. It is about being funny. Not universally funny; just funny to people who understand and appreciate the joke.

i find that people who cry about this-or-that is destroying humor or whatever, are pretty much universally bad at being funny. maybe up your game and stop blaming punctuation.

There is no such thing as "universally bad at being funny", as I explained. Humour is subjective.
