I don't see the humor in mocking people's distress about this. It is a matter of punching done versus punching up, I guess. Some people think punching down is funny, making fun of those who are weak, handicapped, in distress or traumatized. I find that disgusting.

I am all in favor of sarcastic dark humor to deal with stress and trauma. My objection is about who is being targeted.
