There's a few good things to glean from this. Establish a motivation, establish an intention, and speak on an OOC level with the people you're interacting with to ensure that there's an understanding of it all.
There's a lot of bad things to glean from this. It seems to condemn or otherwise deter specific sorts of storytelling as 'lesser' or 'worse.' It presents a layer of off color humor that really detracts from any point it's trying to make. It's slightly masturbatory with references to one's own characters that most people won't have met when more common trope characters could be used to demonstrate it to people who have no idea what the example is meant to mean.
I appreciate people who go and make characters who do things that might make other characters upset, especially on a community that is so conflict averse that discord screaming is common for it. This presents a rather bad narrative for that despite quite a bit of its message being good. If only because it ties the toxic humor to the act of antagonism.
