Mihir suicide case: 'This is NOT dark humour,' Netizens slam meme video on teen's death

A video mocking the death of 15-year-old Mihir, who reportedly died by suicide after allegedly facing harassment at his school in Kerala, has sparked widespread outrage on social media. Netizens have condemned the insensitivity of those responsible for the video.

“This is NOT dark humour. This is mean-spirited, tone-deaf, and outright offensive. This is ridiculing the victim of a tragedy. The insensitivity behind this is baffling,” one user wrote, highlighting the severe lack of empathy.

Another user commented, "Some kids think making dark humour in such situations makes them brilliant and funny. In reality, they have a sadistic mentality." The shocking video has also raised serious concerns about the role of peer pressure and a culture of validation at the cost of compassion.

Many also pointed out the absence of any witnesses who stood up for Mihir during his torment. "The scariest and saddest thing about this is that there was not ONE boy or girl with a spine to stand up for this kid,” said one commenter. "No one said enough is enough. Everyone was complacent. Parents, send your kids to regular schools instead of these classist elitist bubbles."

Another post read, "A 15-year-old boy was bullied, tortured, and humiliated to the point where he took his own life. And instead of remorse, his peers made memes about his death. This isn't just 'kids being kids'—this is a complete moral collapse." Many questioned where the cruelty stems from, calling out the society, culture, and even parenting that might glorify such behavior.

The video, which mocks Mihir’s tragic death, was described as a display of "wannabes acting out for validation from their ‘cool’ peers." “The insensitivity in the name of dark jokes has gone way out of hand,” said one frustrated netizen. "It’s high time to knock some sense into them and make them face consequences for their actions."

Mihir's mother, Rajna, earlier took to social media to express her heartbreak, revealing that some individuals are still making derogatory comments about her son's death. She shared a deeply distressing video that has been widely circulated, questioning the inhumanity of those responsible.

"Can you imagine the pain of a mother witnessing such cruelty?" Rajna shared, expressing her devastation over the continued slander against Mihir. She added that each new revelation about the abuse only amplified his suffering. "It was this very cruelty that took his life," she wrote.

The netizens comments reflect the deep sense of outrage and call for accountability in the face of the bullying and the insensitive video. As one user put it, "If someone can sit and put 3 percent of their brain cells into making such a brainrot video, I’m sure the same can face consequences too with due accountability."
