After the tragic Instagram post about a man and his four friends who passed away after eating a meal prepared by his ex-girlfriend, social media responses have been mixed. While some users shared condolences and lessons from the incident, others took a different route. One particularly insensitive comment read, “OUR WIFE don strike 😂😂😂😂😂,” using the affectionate nickname often given to a man’s girlfriend or wife, now as a cruel joke.
Comments like this highlight the growing insensitivity that plagues online spaces. Turning someone’s tragedy into humor not only disrespects the victims and their grieving families but also normalizes making light of painful situations. Social media should foster empathy, not become a platform where sorrow is mocked for entertainment.
