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.
What about running Doom on Bad Apple or a pregnancy test on Christmas lights?
Gender reveal lights?
It is, people do this to mock the artist for something he does iirc.
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.
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.
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.
Loss is ...edgy?
Depends how old you are.
I'm curious at which ages making fun of miscarriages starts and stops being edgy?
How is it making fun of miscarriages? That's literally the opposite of what the comic was about.
