Some people cope with the horribleness of reality by trying to laugh. I can’t say it’s a good or a bad way to cope.
But remember folks, gallows humor is only funny when you’re one of the ones on the gallows. If no one stuck a carrot up your ass, it’s not your place to make the joke.
I think in the future, you should use the version with “my uncle stuck one up my ass when I was 12 and never forgot about it.”
It’s a better punchline imo.
What about being sexually abused by an older family member makes it a better punchline?

I have had a carrot up my ass but it was overall a powitive experience.
So we’re gatekeeping humor now?
Yep. Does that make you angry? We’re gatekeeping that too. Get over it.
Thank you, thought police! I was about to make an illegal joke but your comment saved civilization from it.
You can make whatever joke you like. I’m just letting you know how it’ll be received and why.
Black humor is an important coping mechanism
Not everyone has to cope, especially with such subjects, which makes it a worse punch line.
Oh no, you forgot you carrot in there
That doesn’t answer anyone’s question.
