I hear that "Gallows humor" excuse every single time and it's only ever used so assholes can feel good about being assholes. It's basically the "Women like getting r--ed" excuse that incels use to justify their shitty behavior. Yes sometimes they say that, but it's not a justification.

You know full well nobody here was saying that to "get through hard times" you're all safe on your computers punching down at dead people.
