Not who you're responding to but 1) that's a fallacy,
2) substantive critiques:
2.1) Presenting with "omg reddit producing something of truly horror!" is always going to end badly. Expectations.
2.2) The "terror" is more clever than horrifying. Horror is typically about perspective, the "oh shit" moment as you realize something is more awful than you'd realized. That story is more about establishing a cute situation. If it were on a sitcom, no one would freak out except the kid that's already freaked out. Everyone would laugh.
