Ehhhhhh.
Stuff like this is hilarious up until you meet someone who had family in the area or who has memories of everyone panicking around them when the NPP failed (said panic spread pretty far throughout Western Europe...)
Don't get me wrong. I am all for some dark edgelord jokes. But the kind where I can choose my audience. Because, best case scenario, stuff like this screams "I'm an edgelord" and, at worst, it leads to someone calling you on your bullshit when they come over.
Its similar to big titty anime girl figures. Yes, it will probably cause a conversation. Think through what kinds of conversations would result and... are those conversations you want to have?
Yes what if an Ukrainian babushka without sense of humour visits me, come on now
A friend of mine has birth defects that very likely stem from Tschernobyl radiation. And they were born quite a distance away
I have several birth defects like hole in my heart or worse mobility in my hips, making me walk weird. I was born in 90s Latvia. I cannot tell for sure whether Chernobyl played a role in said defects, but what I know for sure is that I really love everything Chernobyl, have played the shit out of STALKER games and love the humor revolving around it. Used to even do a lot of shitposting related to Chernobyl accident (in relevant subs of course). To me it seems like people closest to Chernobyl tend to take it well.
