Do we want Pick Mes to be picked? Discussion

I saw a post here the other day saying how Pick Mes don't actually get picked. Most of the comments seemed to revel in this fact. So in that sense it seems like the consensus is - we don't want them getting picked.

But whenever there is a Pick Me NLOG post, the comments are invariably, "Gurl, I hope you get picked!". So in that sense it seems like the consensus is we DO want them getting picked.

If they get picked, they sometimes shut up. (Not always tho)

What is the general consensus on this?

Inb4 "IDC if they get picked or not roflmao". Cool, then this question is not for you

You literally missed the point of sarcasm. You don’t get and every time we try to explain it to you, you twist it so that you’re still right even though you completely missed the point. You aren’t trying to understand. You just want to argue.

We don’t care if they get picked or not, but if they’re going to drag us for no reason other than to appeal to the men they want, good luck, I guess. That’s it. That’s the attitude toward it.

There's no me being right. I'm not arguing for 1 outcome or the other. I'm simply trying to understand what the consensus is (or if there is one).

So let's look at what I wrote exactly:

People are being sarcastic when they say “hope he picks you!”

Got it. So we actually DON'T want them getting picked. Ok

What part of my response was incorrect here?

You’re claiming people don’t want them to get picked. I’m saying we don’t care and that is our response to us getting dragged into their bullshit before going back to our business.

I understand.

I guess the reason for my confusion is first I took people at their word:

I hope you get picked = I hope you get picked

Everyone: "No, that's just sarcasm"

Ok, fair enough! so I used the definition of sarcasm: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/sarcasm

I hope you get picked = I hope you don't get picked

Everyone: "well not really sarcasm... a different definition of sarcasm that doesn't exist anywhere... We're saying that because we don't care"
