A person using "ironic" dark humour as an attempt to normalize serious topics, radicalize individuals, project their fantasies, and find community without being ostracized for what they have
said.
A person using such humour is usually followed by a crowd of
people who are uneased but enables such sentiment.
One person could back down from the
joke, another one could play along and another person could downplay the severity of the
joke by saying it's "just ragebait."
Calling them out
will result in the person getting called "soft," "humourless" or a "moodkill."
What makes this a "Schrödinger?" We'll never know if the person joking is beihg ironic or is flat out projecting their sick, wicked fantasy.
Inspired by Schrödinger's Douchebag
Guy making a
weird joke: We should all lowkey 🍇 children and watch
CP together
Enabler: Ayo what?! 😭😭
Enabler 2: On EVERYBODY'S soul WE all do this
Sane individual: I don't think you should joke about
CP.
Enabler
3: They're just ragebaiting. Don't bother.
Sane Individual: Is this guy joking or is he serious? I guess that's the "Schrödinger's Dark Humor" 🤷 ♂️.
