I support the desire to add context the fact you did add. My only concern is that your phrasing comes off as saying the meme is ahistorical or dramatised, when it's probably just the phrasing.
You're absolutely right. My wording is that way intentionally as a bit of a "hook"/humor. Not humor making light of human suffering but to make it bearable to discuss and draw attention to it.
