Thank you! I'm somewhat irritated by the comment section here. Like yeah, in some way it's funny but it doesn't take much imagination and empathy to get why it wouldn't be funny to people in the hospital who are fatally ill or sth. It's not just the one side making the joke who decides if it's funny. Otherwise "it was just a prank bro" would be an okay excuse for any form of acting shitty.

Otherwise “it was just a prank bro” would be an okay excuse for any form of acting shitty.

If this implies that arsehole prankster influencers should be arrested and fined in this manner: yes, please.
