The consequence of edgy "ha ha slavery funny" humor. This is why punching down is never ok.
I must be misunderstanding, are you suggesting this lady sold her kids because of bad jokes?
Or what is the consequence you're talking about? The consequence of dark humour is seeing dark humour?
You saw this as hilarious rather than horrifying.
Well, I saw an opportunity to make a joke about the cost of housing.
I don't think it was hilarious but I chuckled and thought to contribute to our content desperate platform.
But yeah, I do like my humour dark.
People don't have to like it. Again, don't punch down it can have disastrous consequences for people who really don't need it.
Keep wondering then. ✌️
Phew, I'm glad I'm not the only one who couldn't think of an example! I was feeling kinda silly there for a sec.
