People understand it’s not an announcement or a promise. They get the joke. The problem is not everyone is going to appreciate the joke. If I’m an internal stakeholder here, I’m not worried if a podcast thinks the park is announcing or even teasing a ride; I’m worried about this podcast saying “Don’t hurt us,” haha. It’s
that sentiment that you don’t want amplified to their ~10k followers. Like, here’s another significantly more dramatic but not uncommon response:
Because it’s not totally true that if people take social content the wrong way, then it’s just their problem. It’s Universal posting the tweets. Again, there are ways to be sarcastic and make puns while also not having people feel baited or trolled. Here’s a troll-free alternate take, free of charge: instead of “
Wouldn't having a gyrosphere ride be a ball?” it’s “
Riding around in a gyrosphere looks like a ball,” and then turn it into a thread with more puns and the JW account can quote tweet with “
can confirm” or “
no lie detected” and boom, there. Easy. Super, super, comically easy.
You’d still get some people emotionally overreacting or over-analyzing for a ride announcement; you can never escape that stuff completely. But you’d almost certainly get less negative responses in those veins. It's less risky. The worst you’d get is “this is so corny,” which is a great response if you’re USH. “Don’t hurt us” is not lol.
