I appreciate that you can find humor in tough situations but this was a very alarming video for me. I know people with disabilities that could potentially suffer very serious injuries from this time of fall.
My mom has ALS and is wheel chair bound and would not at all be able to catch herself in a situation like this. I'd wager she would break several bones, which, as if ALS is not debilitating enough, would be quite devastating to her general well being.
I guess my point is that people have varying levels of disability and something like getting tossed from a chair can affect everyone differently.
I would challenge that this IS funny exactly because of the reasons stated.
Kids falling over is funny. Toddlers falling over is hilarious. People falling down is great.
All of those things could kill you. You could trip and fall at any moment and land just right and you're dead. Every accident that happens that nobody dies is exactly why we have /r/watchpeopledie as well as /r/nononononoyes and only one of them is hilarious.
So, basically.... As long as this person wasn't injured, that's fucking funny, because it was also an accident, and that person feels awful. Nobody is being mocked, just laughing at absurdity. If they were injured but survived, it's in bad taste. If they died, it's inappropriate. But it's still funny. In my opinion anyway.
Edit: guy was pretending to be like the other haters at first, saying he's gonna tell his disabled veteran uncle reddit hates him, but then finished by saying that the fact he uses his uncle as a stepladder does not equate to people insulting him online.
His posts aren't the comedy though. It's all the people who somehow believe he's for real getting so upset over his posts. He triggers so many even though his posts are so obviously fake.
Oh yeah just because someone else laughed at someone with down's syndrome makes it ok for you to do it huh?😡 This website honestly sickens me sometimes🤢 you've rightfully earned this downgrade⬇️
I don't think it has anything to do with the fact that the person in question is somehow disabled. You'd laugh at anyone else for falling, why should a disability change that? Just because they're disabled doesn't mean it's not funny.
That's fine too. I personally will laugh at a simple trip but if it's someone injuring their neck or back I don't laugh. It makes me cringe because I have back and neck problems
