contents Multimodal sarcasm detection, which aims to precisely identify pragmatic incongruities between literal text and nonverbal cues, has gained substantial attention in multimodal understanding. Recent advancements have predominantly relied on na\"ıve similarity-based attention mechanisms and uniform late fusion strategies.Furthermore, given that functional entanglement restricts traditional late fusions, we incorporate a scalar congruity routing mechanism and a prior-guided contextual graph. This mechanism anchors a generalized incongruity manifold through a two-stage asymmetric optimization driven by inconsistency-aware contrastive learning, selectively fusing only the most discriminative multi-granularity evidence. Extensive experiments on the \texttt{MUStARD} benchmark and its spurious-correlation-mitigated balanced datasets demonstrate that our approach achieves new state-of-the-art performance, surpassing the strongest multimodal baseline by a substantial 3.14\% improvement in Macro-F1. By architecturally isolating atomic, composition, and contextual conflicts. This work provides a robust, decoupled paradigm for modeling subtle pragmatic incongruities in human communication.
