Irony poisoning is the process or altered state wherein one has a diminished capacity for distinguishing between one's own genuine beliefs and ironic beliefs through an overuse of irony. This can manifest in either an inability to state one's beliefs in a genuine way or genuinely echoing provocative sentiments they once held only ironically. Appearing in The New York Times in 2018, the term is often used to describe the normalization of extremist views through the use of Humour, particularly in online spaces.
