The story behind kire chirakasu
散らかす means to scatter things and leave a mess, and it has recently become one of the most productive comic suffixes on the Japanese internet. Attach it to a verb and the action becomes untidy, excessive and slightly ridiculous. Laughing, posting, complaining: anything can be done in a scattering fashion.
キレ散らかす is the star of that family. The joke is entirely in the image, because anger is not supposed to have a floor plan, and here it is being flung into every corner of the room. That framing is why it almost never wounds: calling someone's fury a mess means watching it as theatre rather than taking it seriously.
