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?

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

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.

That's the history of memes.
So at first, people were making fun of a bad artist with a bad comic. In that context it wasn't edgelord material, he was an adult and he can handle being the butt of a joke.
Then, the meme gained a life of its own (its context was itself) and that old context ceased to matter. It wasn't about the artist anymore, but without context it still wasn't edgelord material.
At no point was the joke edgy because the joke was never about miscarriage.

What about running Doom on Bad Apple or a pregnancy test on Christmas lights?
Yes! The tree lights up green if you're pregnant and red if you're not. It can flash between them while you're waiting, and sometimes it will randomly hold just a tiny bit longer to keep suspense high.

Dammit, thank you. I was thinking "toeses" like gollum might say. See, here I was thinking my comment was probably pointless.
To be fair, that was also what I was thinking, it wasn’t until the “sis” part was mentioned that it dawned on me.
