      A fictional story about a husband/father being cruel to his family until they leave doesn’t exactly seem like fun entertainment to me 😅

      4chan’s idea of a joke tends to involve some kind of suffering or cruelty, I don’t really get the appeal. It shows up on my feed and I can’t help but think “someone wants to read this sort of thing…?”

      At least the one about the lady pissing herself and jumping in a canal or whatever was kinda silly and just a story about doing something dumb

        It’s creative writing with a subversion of expectations. You expect anon to be in a public gym with a random uncontrolled child, not at home with his own child. You side with him until the very end. The whiplash is the joke, not child cruelty.
