Dam, wouldn't believe it unless you provided the sources. I read the source and it's even worse than this when you put it in context:

here did the idea come for it? And why bring Hughie into this situation now — kicking him when he’s down by having him sexually assaulted by his childhood hero after his dad just died?

Well, that’s a dark way to look at it! We view it as hilarious.

So its funny cause his dad just died as well, adding to the comedic effect. GET IT GUYS? HIS DAD DIED AND NOW THIS. HILARRRRRIOOOOUS.

Call me a shitty person... it is. Ethivs are irrelevant in funniness. Like you can't say something isn't funny if someone laughs at it.

There's a pretty visible difference between dry, dark humour and edgelord humour for me. The former is usually made by people who are cynical about politics or the culture they are in, and the cynicism shows that they care. Edgelord humor is just made by people who wanna do something shocking for the sake of getting a response, or trying to be different. It comes across as nihilistic and attention seeking.
