You are right about the thespian thing, but when you watch TV/film/theatre everyone is in on the "joke" and we all know they're not really falling in love, getting murdered, or whatever dramatic happening. I'm not sure if OOP is just trying to entertain and expects everyone to realize they're joking, which would stick them on the thespian side, or if they have other motives. But hey, interesting point to bring up!

They knew the two lines that I quoted would clue in most people who dislike vibe coding that it was a joke.
