Roamin Ronin ( @roamin_ronin@lemm.ee ) 88•1 year agoYeah I’m all for some dark humor, but can we not make this Reddit 2.0 or whatever?
uniqueid198x ( @uniqueid198x@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 51•1 year agoDark humor is humor generated from your own pain.
Edgy humor is humor generated from the pain of others.
The first one is funny, the second is boring and shitty
Gram ( @Gram@lemmy.one ) 35•1 year agoEh. I’d say there’s exceptions. Maybe more to the point of “Don’t Punch Down”?
I can laugh all day at the rich/privileged suffering the consequences of their own mistakes.
toffi ( @toffi@feddit.de ) 25•1 year ago“Don’t Puch down” is good rule to live by.
Maybe the rich/privileged are controlling/influencing so much of our lifes that this counts as your own pain.
uniqueid198x ( @uniqueid198x@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 5•1 year agoNot certain the rich feel pain the same way, but you’re right. Punching up has value and often is the right thing to do
HandwovenConsensus ( @HandwovenConsensus@lemm.ee ) 1•1 year agoI feel that privilege is a concept that should be applied to classes, not individuals. You can’t just judge someone as privileged based on one aspect of their life.
The whole “punching up” concept just leads to it being accepted to make misogynistic jokes at white women, ablist and body-shaming jokes at “creepy” men, racist jokes at wealthy Asians, and so on.
Rather, I think the intent behind the joke, and the consequences of the stereotypes it reinforces, is what should be examined rather than the demographic on the receiving end.
Iapar ( @Iapar@feddit.de ) 9•1 year agoI think its more the way humor is used/intended.
The problem is that people use humor as a weapon. If you fall those people point a finger at you and laugh while calling you an idiot.
Others use it as a way to deal with stuff or in general just see it as something to make light of a situation. Those people would also laugh but they would come to your help, ask if everything is alright and would help you up. While knowing that everybody falls down sometimes and that it can funny.
Everything can be funny with the right people and that helps to cope.

Leyla :) ( @LeylaaLovee@lemmy.fmhy.ml ) 28•1 year agoDark humor is good as long as it’s actually dark humor. As much as I hated the power mods of Reddit, Awkwardtheturtle’s constant trolling of the dark humor sub was fucking hilarious. He’d throw random rules on posting and commenting that would take off most comments and posts by default. Seeing those immature assholes lose their shit over not being able to be as racist is hilarious.
Redditor “You like dark humor?”
Me “Yeah sure I guess”
Redditor “I LIKE RAPING BABIES AND MURDERING MINORITIES! I ALSO BEAT MY WIFE! PLEASE LAUGH!”
Ace T'Ken ( @AceTKen@lemmy.ca ) 1•1 year agoYour example has the dark, but none of the humor.
Chaddledee ( @Chaddledee@lemmy.ml ) 32•1 year agoDid I just have a very different Reddit experience to everyone else or is this a massive circle jerk?
NattyNatty2x4 ( @NattyNatty2x4@beehaw.org ) 2•1 year agoDefinitely a circlejerk outside of specific subs
Hudsonius ( @Hudsonius@lemmy.ml ) 19•1 year agoI’m sure there’s an instance for that
CookieJarObserver ( @CookieJarObserver@feddit.de ) 12•1 year agoExploding heads…
quicken ( @quicken@aussie.zone ) 15•1 year agoIt’s fine. There’s still plenty of sexism. Reddit people love that. 😎
Rhabuko ( @Rhabuko@feddit.de ) 11•1 year agoMan I really miss the hide button to keep troll bait shit like this here out of my feed.
CookieJarObserver ( @CookieJarObserver@feddit.de ) 9•1 year agoDark Humor and racism are different things. But many don’t get that (in both directions)
HurlingDurling ( @HurlingDurling@lemm.ee ) English7•1 year agoHey now…
darvit ( @darvit@lemmy.darvit.nl ) English10•1 year agoYou’re a rock star
0x2d ( @0x2d@lemmy.ml ) English6•1 year agoGet the show on
potpie ( @potpie@beehaw.org ) English5•1 year agoGet paid.
This is a blatant exageration.
Kristof12 ( @Kristof12@lemmy.ml ) 7•1 year agoJust… better
The Cuuuuube ( @Cube6392@beehaw.org ) 4•1 year agoThe admins and moderators removed my comments. Am I so racist? No. It’s the admins who are wrong
Lotus Eater ( @Devious_Thoughts@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 3•1 year agoMany people are saying this LMAO.
Milk ( @Milk_SDF_Possum@lemmy.sdf.org ) English3•1 year agoJokes with no suffering are not jokes but too developed piles of shit.
Liempong_pagong ( @Liempong_pagong@beehaw.org ) 3•1 year agoSpot on
Hey, I’m from Reddit and I’m not like that. :/
Edit: Meant to say from Reddit, not a Reddit. Lol.
Nerorero ( @Nerorero@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 1•1 year agoYou mean you used to be?
Yeah, that. Mis-typed is all.
ColdWater ( @ColdWater@lemmy.ml ) 1•1 year agoas a racer I’m really offended by this post
