    It’s the “I’m a hero!” at the end of the comic that sets the tone for what this is about.

    By celebrating his act, self defense guy is showing that he specifically enjoyed it enough to celebrate his act afterwards. It’s the difference between killing someone in self defense and killing someone in self defense then teabagging the corpse. Only one of these situations demonstrates a completely lack of empathy.

    So, to address your comment directly, this isn’t a comment about self defense and all its myriad variations. It’s about the celebration of loss of life that happens whenever these situations come up.
