    This is the classic misconception, that if you make a joke about something, you are not taking it serious.

    You can talk about things you or other people struggle with in a joking way and it doesn’t take anything away from the seriousness. It might even help to let others understand your struggle.

    This is especially a Gen Z thing, they love self deprecating jokes. I see nothing wrong with that personally.

      You didn’t quite get me I think:
      In my opinion, only the putting of the meme under c/funny is taking away from its seriousness.
      The meme itself is totally fine.

      I’m GenX and we are also very much into fatalistic satirical humour (and absurdist humour - I actually enjoy brainrot - shoutout to GenZ: great work here!).
      So I absolutely agree with trying to deal with dreadful stuff in form of biting satire.
      But posting it under c/funny I perceive as derogative, as it implies: hey don’t take it serious.
