Apologies for my pedantry, but dreaming about harming people is actually pretty much the opposite of gallows humour. A more appropriate phrase might be "power fantasy."
- VikingCoder 12y agoWarning: This response is for pedantic purposes only. This is someone who is putting a gun to my daughter's head. They don't want to vaccinate their child, which increases my daughter's chance of getting seriously ill or dying. This is a fantasy about retaliating against the people who threaten lives. That's gallows humor.
