I mean it's a very dark joke but it's still a joke. The actor didn't actually do that. And those people exist in real life. I hate where we've gotten to a point where mentioning something bad gets interpreted as being in favor of and promoting that thing, because it's not. That's not how comedy works.
The point I was making that when it came out it wasn't considered particularly dark. Think of it this way, in 'Revenge of the Nerds' the heroes were spy camming the sorority and at the time it was considered light hearted and amusing.
