It's in most dictionaries.
A Google Books search for unironically finds a small swarm of early occurrences in the period 1921-1923. From Arnold Bennett, "Mr. Prohack," in The Delineator (November 1921):
>"You will get used to it, Arthur," said Sir Paul indulgently but not unironically. "You're in a nervous state and your judgment's warped. Now, I never even heard your famous clock strike ten."
From Edmund Blunden, The Bonadventure: A Random Journal of an Atlantic Holiday (1923):
>the keynote of which was in the unironically meant remark: "He was darned religious, but he was a darned good man."
And from Richard Curle, Into the East: Notes on Burma and Malaya (1923):
>The town [Singapore], like a camel in the desert, was living on its hump, was living on hope. Its huge fabric reminded one unironically of a whited sepulchre;
tldr
Unironically go read more books dumbass.

I add prefixes and suffixes whenever I feel like it, honestly. It's no concern of mine whether or not it has an established meaning. It is ultimately inconsequential to me whether that word has been used before by another.
Jose Davis
>inside is unyellow :)
Ethan James
The posts definition is embarrassingly limited.
"Unironically" is a post modern term used in a specific cultural context. It's use implies a requirement to rebuke what may be perceived as use of irony in statement without it as a qualifier.
We invent words to suit our needs all the time. In these incredulous times, "unironically" is apt. Stop pretending the dictionary is a holy book.
Isaac Young
For real on God? No cap.
Kevin Gutierrez
I'd rather not be nagged about word choice, thanks. As if years of english classes that would've been better spent just reading weren't already enough.

Uh, outside. Congruous. Pretty simple concept, really (and yellow has nothing to do with either).

This can't be serious.

The English "language" is a joke. At least other languages like French set actual standards for what is and isn't a word.
Easton Taylor
OP is not an unfaggot
Nathan Turner
very reddit, all this
Adrian Flores
It means although it sounds like an irony, it's not. Not only you should take the assertion literally, you're stressing the fact that although you might be tempted to take it ironically, you really should not.
Also fuck off, imaginable is of latin origin and we say unimaginable. That's just one example off the top of my head, I came up with it in 0.25 seconds.
Don't @ at me

Are you retarded?
Confirmed for knowing absolutely nothing about French. How fucking embarassing.
Hudson Walker
Didn't ask
Julian Powell
so embarrassing knowing nothing about french!
Austin Parker
This but post-ironically
Kevin Edwards
Unironically false. The idea is to imply that the audience anticipates that you are so full of shit, they will automatically assume whatever you say is complete bullshit. To affirm that you are serious, you tell them "unironically". But that's where the irony comes in, because in actual fact, you ARE full of shit and trying to get them to fall for it regardless of their original suspicions. Unironically
Charles Evans
Unironically yes.
Gavin Harris
Whoever made that is unironically less than 100IQ
Colton Garcia
ask any prescriptivist to prove the ultimate authority of whatever semantic/grammatical rules they're advocating for, and watch them shit their pants
Luke Cooper
>the ultimate authority of whatever semantic/grammatical rules they're advocating for
My own personal taste and aesthetic sense.
Gabriel Anderson
That's not capable of being a rule for all though, because anyone can oppose their own personal taste and aesthetic sense.
Josiah Myers
although I agree, is still based
Ayden Scott
They can, but they're wrong.
Nathaniel Hill
Absolutely bodied.
Logan Harris
English has a retarded grammatical structure and a million loan words that clash aesthetically. The lack of subtlety, ambiguity, wordplay, and efficient communication makes the language shit tier for writing literature and philosophy
