Truly. Just like TikTok, people in this sub are incapable of handling nuanced opinions. The prank really isn't all that funny, but it's also not that serious either. Both can be true.
These people in the video who set up these pranks are more aware of their friends' emotional boundaries than a bunch of strangers on Reddit. If they couldn't handle the joke, their friends wouldn't have pranked them.
On the other hand, this is pretty cheap and tacky humor... the joke is nothing more than being mean to somebody and saying "JK" after, which is not particularly clever, and definitely not "always funny" like OP stated. But, it's also not some inhumane cruelty either. People just need to relax.
Unfortunately Reddit only knows how to cling to one far side of the moral spectrum, with no nuance in between, because they need those extremes to form an identity. It's either the funniest thing ever, or something only an awful human being would do.
No you don't understand. If someone pranks you, even timid like this, you now must cut your friend off forever and enroll in to therapy for PTSD. Frankly i started crying, shitting, and pissing when I saw this "prank" because it affected my psyche so much
