I fully support every conspiratard's right to make stupid jokes and to laugh at them... you can't make me laugh at it too though, and/or make me say that it's funny. It just isn't.
I didn't find this joke funny either as I have friends whose family members contacted/died from this disease.
Apparently most people on this thread find humor in replicating a disease infection online, with decorated text. While that text was also annoying I don't think that's what pissed off some people, it was that they were joking about virus. And when you're a part of the situation then things like this really punch you hard in the stomach.
These people are getting a little twitchy so-to-speak. It's understandable how they could lash out at a harmless and instructive April fools day prank and get ultra-paranoid and weird about it.
This was not an
instructive april fools prank. If you read theymos' thread about this it was just a few probabilities that's all. Please step in the victims' shoes first before accusing them of being "ultra-paranoid and weird about it".
Firstly, you are probably a fuckin liar with all your friends family who died, or your friends are jackin you. 55,000/7,500,000,000 = 0.000007 as a ratio of humans who've died to date.
Secondly, three of my four grandparents died of cancer and the fourth lost a leg to it. My mom is fighting it right now. I'm not whining and crying because someone makes a joke about cancer, and certainly not because I perceive it. As a matter of fact I am very thankful to anyone who puts effort into trying to figure out what is going on with it and bring attention to the problem because I don't trust the medical/industrial complex to do anything but make it worse cancer being an incredible cash-cow for them.
You are being a drama queen bitch and everyone can see it. You should crawl back into your safe-hole and only venture out only into the cushy safe world that the tech giants are creating for all you millennial snowflakes.
