Hot take: fundamentally, yes. The simple fact that people are dying does not render something unfunny.
That said, no one has died yet (well, one person, but that was ruled unrelated to the flooding).
Comment on Why is everyone so giddy about the flooding thay happened at burning man?

The fact only one person has died speaks pretty well of their community, actually.
How the fuck do you die because it rained and there’s mud? Hows that make their community look good?
Did you miss all the memes about the billionaire dying in the submarine a couple months back? People like laughing at dark humor.
Generally no, but this episode of tough hippie mudder has been great.
Way to confirm you’re actually as bad or worse than any of them morally. 👍
Judge not least. Splinter and timber. Yeah you do you.
If someone falls asleep inside the giant puppet and they burn him alive with everyone gathered around, I’m sorry but that’s just very funny. Dark, but funny.
Why wouldn’t it be?

Burners by and large are dipshits, but no one reasonable is laughing at anyone dying.
