They can be a little distasteful as it serves as an overly deliberate way to try and accentuate a joke or point which is basically the only time we’d use it so it almost comes across as cringy.

I think the same can be said with /j or /srs but less so much, mainly because some people truly do not understand where people stand with what they are saying, primarily people who have trouble reading various social cues, people with autism mainly.
