    The loss meme has to be one of the least funny things to exist. Edgelord material.

      At this point it feels like the loss meme is completely divorced from its original meaning and more a „where can I fit it in“ like running Doom on a pregnancy test or Bad Apple on Christmas lights.

      It is, people do this to mock the artist for something he does iirc.

          What about running Doom on Bad Apple or a pregnancy test on Christmas lights?

            100% agreed. It was funny back when CAD was relevant the meme made sense.

            Now there’s so many people riffing on it without understanding why it was a joke in the first place.

            At least with Doom there’s engineering fun to be had. Modern loss just sucks.

              I'm curious at which ages making fun of miscarriages starts and stops being edgy?

                You might have missed the joke?

                The joke isn't that miscarriage is funny. That's edgelord material.

                The joke is that B^Uckley is a hack writer and hack artist and his comics aren't funny and look like shit. It's making fun of him.

                    Might have been the case 17 years ago. In the mean time Buckley grew up, became a really decent guy and CAD 2.0 is a really good read.

                    Thinking that loss is still a relevant critique of Buckley or his work just means you are getting old and haven't updated your prejudices in almost 2 decades.

                    People posting loss memes almost qualify for an "ok boomer" by now.

                        How is it making fun of miscarriages? That's literally the opposite of what the comic was about.

                          Well, by now it's just a self referential meme like all memes. The joke is itself, the context doesn't even matter anymore.

                          It's still not a joke about miscarriage.

                              So what now? Is it a joke about bullying some creator for stuff he made half a life ago, or does the context not matter when the context is put like that?

                                    The context is that people recognize the meme. That's basically it. The joke is itself.

                                    But also I don't really care if some artist is annoyed that his early, bad artwork became the butt of a joke. He was in his 20s when he started that comic, let's not pretend like this is bullying a child's comics or something.

                                        So first, the context is everything, then the context doesn't matter, then the context is something else.

                                          It is, people do this to mock the artist for something he does iirc.

                                          I wouldn't be surprised if there was a whole generation for whom loss is the "hide some lines in your posts" meme and who have never even seen the original comic let alone know who Tim Buckley is.
