Like… pranksters getting mad when someone responds violently: it’s fight flight or freeze.
You don’t get to get angry at someone who hit you when you scared the shit out of them and their body respond my automatically to a threat.
The amygdala works way faster than rational thought, you’re playing with fire by pranking people.
If you have the privilege of not having ‘fight’ be your amygdala response, feel happy for yourself! It’s not a conscious choice!

Popular opinion
No shit sherlock,
Is this actually an unpopular opinion though, like don’t most people think this?
There was at least one prankster who got shot and most everyone was just clowning on him.
This isn’t unpopular
You’re telling me when I fuck around I’ll find out? 😧
not unpopular
Depends on the situation, but the very intelligent redditor sees everything in black or white.
How about a real unpopular opinion? “Pranksters are funny and everyone should cut them some slack.”
