        Dark humor has always existed, part of what makes it funny is the pearl clutching

          there’s dark humor and then there’s fucked up humor.

          I’m sure there are plenty of people who make edgy racist jokes and THINK they are dark, when in reality they are just racists glad to have a label that lets them express their vile attitudes under the guise of ‘It’s just a prank bro’.

            It being fucked up is why it’s funny. Loosen your grip on those pearls and have some fun. It’s a lot more enjoyable than getting offended all the time.

              Why don’t you go find a victim of rape and ask them how funny they think it is.

              The only reason you chudmuffins find it amusing is that you have been fortunate enough not to have you or one of your loved ones experience it.

                Actually…

                When I was eight, the older brother of a kid on our street tried to force it up my ass dry.

                Pretty horrifying shit, but being able to joke about it now changes the dynamic. It gives me power now that it doesn’t have power over me.

                If I curled up into a ball and cried every time I was reminded of the experience, I would still be a victim.

        I’m not trying to be mean, but if you think that then my advice is that you should probably block this community. S&C is an extremely cursed webcomic, and the people who read it usually believe anything, no matter how horrible, can have a joke made out of it.

        I think it’s personally reasonable to be put off by that kind of humor, but you shouldn’t go around telling people what they can’t enjoy when they’re not hurting anyone else.
