They shouldn't have laughed. It doesn't matter the reason, it wasn't a happy occasion, and it was beyond obvious that they were memeing us at that point. Knowing that ears wouldn't be displayed only rubbed salt on an already reopened wound.

It's worse because at the moment, those chuckles were the "obvious cue" it was an april fools joke. At most, some people may have taken it as some self awareness joke - "ha ha, yeh, its funny cuz we've been waiting years for this, good one guys..." - but then the LL ended and we were left with the realization that it wasn't an april fools joke and that they were trying not to laugh at pictures that we were supposed to be taking seriously, or even cheering.

It may not have been intentional, let alone malicious, but in recontextualization, those chuckles did leave a bad taste.
