I think the difference between those two are clear. This anon is not wishing Jenny dead, she's saying if and when Jenny were to die, if the circumstances happened to be a preventable disease the irony would be humorous. That's a far cry from wishing she'd drop dead right now.

I, uh

I think you need to read that comment a little more closely, because AIRT did say "it's fine to wish someone dead." That implies that they are wishing Jenny dead and are trying to morally justify it.

I think the issue is that we see "wishing someone dead" differently. When I hear most people use that phrase, they don't mean immediately, right now as they speak. They mean it as an eventual, general statement in the "ugh, I wish she'd go off and die somewhere" way, not the "I wish she'd drop dead right now at my feet" way. It's a bit difficult to explain but they hold different nuance for me and the former is a lot less vindictive.

I think that's kind of a naive way of thinking it, because in my experience when someone wishes someone dead, they mean like right the fuck now. "Drop dead," etc.

IME if they mean drop dead in the sense that they'd kill them with their mind if they had the ability, they're more specific about the immediacy of it. Drop dead is also a phrase I hardly ever hear used to literally mean death, more like "fuck off outta here." But you may be right, I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt.
