I don't disagree with the things you say, but I can't be convinced that this child is not in distress after what happened, and that fact is not funny to me. The slapstick fall was not funny to me either.
If I want to comfort my child in a situation where it is overreacting to something, I wouldn't laugh at them, I would just act calmly and say "it's okay, you're okay, you're safe". This teachers them how to deal with the situation and what level of severity it really was. And it teaches empathy and how to comfort.
Otherwise you're teaching the child that people being uncomfortable and getting hurt is funny, and that you should laugh at that, which in turn teaches them to be bullies and insensitive assholes.
That's what I believe, and I see the results of my teachings in my own children. When they see others get hurt, they comfort, they ask if they are okay, they stroke their back. They nurture. They do not laugh. That would be disgusting.
It's not a "haha you idiot" laugh It's a "silly mistake, not a big deal" laugh. Idk I grew up with a lot of brothers and we would do this all the time to each other in situations like this, it never felt mean spirited just like lol what did you expect to happen? and if it actually looked bad it's are you okay first.
Well in this case, to me, it does look bad and I would say "are you okay?" first before laughing. Although I wouldn't laugh at all because none of this is funny in any way. That is just simply my opinion. 🤷♂️
I’m guessing you never watched Caught on Camera or whatever your local version was called in the 90s?
Kids doing stupid shit and getting mildly hurt was 90% of that tv show.
Of course I've watched plenty of those shows, like America's Funniest Home Videos, etc. I never, ever found any videos funny in those shows where it looked like someone might have gotten hurt. Not adults, nor children. I had too much empathy I guess? Clips where something funny happened like a crazy ball bounce or someone said something funny — those I liked.
