Yeah I’m all for some dark humor, but can we not make this Reddit 2.0 or whatever?

Dark 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

Eh. 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.

Not certain the rich feel pain the same way, but you're right. Punching up has value and often is the right thing to do
