Am i wooshing myself??

That is literally the point of sarcasm. People legitimately wanted to murder Jonathan Swift.

If you write "/s", just write the direct unironic statement in the first place.

If that were holistically true the concept of a "sarcastic tone" wouldn't exist in verbal speech.

Yes, the /s and sarcastic tone both exist and are used by people.
