Quoted By:
You're free to make dark jokes, but people are also free to criticize you. People can't handle the latter part, they can't handle being even slightly criticized so they try to present the situation as being attacked by a horde of mindless monsters. They don't want to engage with their opponents in a sensible discussion about the subject, perhaps because they already know they don't have any good arguments to make in defense of their opinions. So they go straight to making themselves out to be the victim, in the hopes of getting the audience on their side. That way they don't have to put any effort in and people will defend them anyway, because their minds have already been made up.
