I now think it's kind of immature to have edgy humor like that. But, learning this has caused me to rethink the edgy contempt I had for people who were freaking out online about it. "This could cause animal abuse"
Come on. It's a joke.
But also, the person having that reaction being maybe 8 or 9 years old? Well, that makes sense. It's upsetting. It's mean to be upsetting and not explain the joke. Maybe it's not even a good "joke"
