The serious tag was never going to be serious, from the moment it was proposed, to this moment, to some future moment. All it's ever done or ever will do is provide trolls with leverage.
What you're talking about, OP, is digression, not derailment, and yes, that's the way convo works. The serious tag subverts that by allowing the conversation to be derailed in the setup, and then intimidating digression from there.
There's nothing on this board which signifies that the content is less serious or more mockable than the inclusion of a serious tag. We should do away with it. Whatever hypothetical merit it may have had is clearly not operative here.
/two cents.
