Coronavirus COVID-19 Pandemic

Well, enforcing a lockdown is actualy quite difficult, in spite of what game like Prototype may have lead you
to believe.

In reality, it depends of the people's willingness to follow the restrictions laid down. There are simply not
enought policemen nor soldiers to patrol every street in every cities. Even in the most autoritarian countries.
 
Honestly, I kinda live in a hot zone. There is an exception for walking dogs and stuff but I don't think there's for kids running around unsupervised and visiting each other.

Btw, I've been monitoring myself and I don't think I have the virus and it is my normal crap instead.

You limit your thinking. The only rule is to avoid human contact, right?

The outdoors are vast, and some of the trees are pretty cute. Just saying.

It's called Dark Humor. I'd rather joke about bad stuff happening that I can't change than to become a depressed and anxious mess by overthinking things.

The personification of phenomena and disasters is an habit as old as civilization itself. Giving an understandable face to Something unfathomable
is our way to cope.

Declaring our confidence in defeating this disease in such way is barely a blip on the radar, compared to many disturbing imagery drawn by mankind during its history.

For exemple :" The Birth of Aphrodite." How the cut ballsacks of Ouranos begat the goddess of love and Beauty.

Some of it is black humor. I like that part. But some of it seems to be more like an impromptu apocalypse cult with various levels of extensive irony involved.

But seriously, just view any impromptu cults as the harmless humor devices that they are.

Harmful things don't seem to look like apocalypse cults. They look like dismissive genuine ignorance, or willful politically-motivated ignorance. (Specific examples of the latter are obviously forbidden on this site so I'm not going to say more here.)
 
I find the whole fetishization of the antropomorphic racist depiction of a virus currently killing thousands of innocents through the whole world to be in bad taste.

There's a point past which 'Respect the dead and grieving' should overrule 'Don't kinkshame'.

If you think it's in bad taste that's fine. Not everyone has that opinion though. Also it might be a coping mechanism.

I doubt anyone posting 'cute genderbent Osama-chan' right after 9/11 wouldn't have been drummed out from all angles even here, why should a thing that has killed many more globally get a pass either?

Especially since as time passes by the odds some actual relative of a COVID-19 victim may pass by and see that kind of imagery, do you really think that'd be fair to those poor people?

Do you think it's fair to choose what people laugh about?
 
Regarding 'Corona-chan' & Black Humour
  • Moderation
    • Here's what I consider to be the final word on this matter:

    Yes, black humour is a valid coping mechanism. You're welcome to indulge in it privately, or amongst groups of like-minded friends. However, sharing it publicly is inadvisable because not everyone will be able to appreciate any humour that is to be found in the situation. This is an ongoing issue that is affecting people. While you might be able to find entertainment in it there are likely those browsing this thread who have lost or are currently losing loved ones.

    I won't speak for elsewhere on the site, but do not post Corona-chan in this thread. Likewise, seriously reconsider any black jokes you may be thinking of posting here.

    No, I think sane, rational human beings would have about the same reaction, either way. But sane, rational human beings aren't the ones you'd have to worry about. The people who strap bombs to their chests, on the other hand...
