I am guessing that the guys here who are making jokes about the girl's death are the ones who spend less time in real life with women than the guys who find the posts to be tasteless and unnecessary.
I think the jury is out on why some people find some dark humor funny and not other dark humor.
I remember the thread about Jim Carrey's ex-girlfriend committing suicide:
thread-50760...nd+suicide
On that thread, anyone who showed sympathy for the girl or her family, like me for instance, was in the minority.
It was her own fault. Don't be a white knight. You only feel sorry for her because she was cute. Etc.
In this thread there are far more voices in support of the girl who died.
Why does one deserve sympathy, and the other deserve dark one liners?
I don't know. I made a joke in this thread. Didn't make any in the other. Don't know exactly why.
I don't know if you can tie it directly to who gets pussy and who doesn't. Carrey's girlfriend committed suicide, so maybe the people who felt sympathy for her have had friends who committed suicide. Maybe not.
Maybe the people who have sympathy for the girl in this thread are just tired of everything being taken lightly all the time.
It is an interesting topic, and the jury is definitely still out.
The only thing that I know for sure is that in the modern world, the internet brings a lot more of the fucked up stuff to your attention, even shows you videos of it, and I wouldn't be surprised if the black humor is a coping strategy as much as anything else, and not an indicator of a person's general character.
