While I agree that we could all stand to take things a little less seriously, I also think that it's important to realize that humor is an important tool for normalizing ideas and opinions so sometimes it warrants scrutiny.
Its just a prank, bro!
Social experiment.
or just tell the person the joke isn't funny and move on. not everything needs to be under a microscope.
Something can be incorrect or harmful and funny.
Moreover if you reread my comment I think we very much agree.
and all of that is highly subjective and often argued from a complete ignorance of context and knowledge of the subject matter.
You know who tells me my hobbies and horrible and awful and evil and stupid? People who don't do them and who feel threatened by them, and think therefore they should not exist. And sometimes they go so far as to set traps with the intent to maim and harm others, because they think it's justified because their feelings and views that nobody should ever do this thing they don't like that is so disruptive and uncivilized.
It's super fun being lectured by some angry ignorant nitwit how awful and bad and harmful you are, when what you are doing is objectively good for you, your community, and the people around you. Even better when the write a editorial in the news paper how you are DESTROYING SOCIETY by riding your bicycle. And if you were DECENT HUMAN BEING you'd just get in a car and drive like EVERYONE ELSE.
