5 panel comic
Panel 1: Pink guy saying: I just made a silly joke!
Panel 2: Pink guy turns to see a door swing open, revealing a Weird Greenish Guy in the doorway
Panels 3-5: Weird greenish guy begins to walk towards Pink Guy in a very creepy manner. He says: I’m Gonna take it SERIOUSLY
By panel 5 Weird Guy has Pink Guy in a death grip. He’s going to throttle him for having the audacity to tell a silly joke on social media


You know, maybe those reactions denote that it’s bad humor but either of those are way better than virtue signaling against a person who is badly attempting to express pain.
I dunno. The comic made me think of a particular kind of internet person who is only here to be seen saying correct things in front of other morally correct people.
If you’re dealing with pain and trauma, therapy might be a good idea. Making dark self depreciating jokes online probably isnt going to actually help you deal with it.
