Social media seems to be laughing its ass off about this tragedy, is it because the folks at burning man are perceived as frivolous hippies or something? Everyone I’ve ever met who was a regular burning man attendee has been a solid human being with strong morals, personally and financially responsible, a career. Upstanding members of society for sure. I guess all some people know is the sensationalized drugs and sex. A person died. This is a tragedy for an event that brings positivity into the world. Kind of annoyed.

    So you think it’s okay to laugh at people dying?

      Hot take: fundamentally, yes. The simple fact that people are dying does not render something unfunny.

      That said, no one has died yet (well, one person, but that was ruled unrelated to the flooding).

      Did you miss all the memes about the billionaire dying in the submarine a couple months back? People like laughing at dark humor.

      If someone falls asleep inside the giant puppet and they burn him alive with everyone gathered around, I’m sorry but that’s just very funny. Dark, but funny.
