Reply to comment by FloogleFinagler in Terry Pratchett: Facing Extinction (2013) - Author Terry Pratchett, having been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, returns to Borneo, where 18 years earlier, he encountered wild orangutans for the first time [01:01:50] by BigJimNorton

I’m surprised that all these so-called fans of Sir Terry and his humour are angry at this pretty darkly funny comment. I feel like Pratchett himself would laugh at this sort of thing. But internet people have to be angry on his behalf?

Well, looks like something pisses you off: https://old.reddit.com/r/HistoryMemes/comments/qh2lyj/vasily_arkhipov_what_a_legend/hib33d5/?context=3

I'd imagine whatever it was that was deleted was tasteless and crass. Kinda like the "joke" in this subthread.

Kinda like if someone called Fred Rogers, I dunno, an edgelord or racist or something.

You can say whatever you want, but if people value the thing you're attacking, don't be surprised if your "freeze peach" is not appreciated. Or in this case, the person who made the joke.

I guess you, internet person, can be angry on behalf of /u/FloogleFinagler. Oh, but that's different.
