Under a news story of a youth who fatally injured himself while playing with a gun, I got 38 downvotes but a lot more upvotes.
I am apalled to see the comments here making light of the death of a child with their “win stupid prizes” schtick.
Instead of talking about access to gun safety education if kids are in a gun household. Instead of reminding parents about the absolute necessity of gun safes. Instead of calling for gun reform so kids can’t get guns in the first place.
But no, carry on victim blaming, seems much more productive.
These phrases activate my cringe neurons so hard even though the people writing them are probably really nice.

“play stupid games win stupid prizes”
“they fucked around found out”
“but why tho?”
“por que no los dos?”
it’s like, you felt an urge to comment something but didn’t want to commit to engaging with your own words and ideas so my brain blurs it as essentially spam.

“rules for thee but not for me”
“checks notes/shuffles deck”
the general misuse of “whataboutism”
“live long enough to become the villain”
