    This was never funny. I hate how the Internet just grabs some random stupid thing and then won’t shut up about it for years.

      I’ll take “the literal definition of a meme, which is coincidentally also the name of the sub I am currently commenting on” for $800, Alex.

        Yeah it’s a little different when it’s about a fuckin miscarriage.

        It’s like the Green Day song Wake Me Up When September Ends

        It was a song about remembering his father’s death. Then every October his Twitter was flooded with messages telling him to wake up September is over.

        I can only imagine how annoyed the creator of the original comic feels seeing this devastating moment used as a joke for years after

          I mean, he did write about his miscarriage in a webcomic that was just goofy pop-nerd humor up to that point, which is the entire reason it became a meme.

          If people are sending the dude loss comics on the anniversary, that’s a little fucked up because it’s being used as a personal attack. Which is 100% not the case with the typical loss meme.

          Tl;dr I don’t think the guys needs people white knighting for him every time a loss meme is born.

            That’s fair. I just know if I made something to commemorate a significant impact in my life and it became a joke for the next decade I’d be pretty upset

      Loss has some of the most original and ingenious variations, that’s what I like about it. I’ve never seen other memes close to it. It’s completely different to all the text-over-established-image memes.

      lol for some reason I’ve always liked this one! I think I just like how it’s become so abstract that people got creative with how to express it

      I was willing to accept your judgement of “this was never funny” until I got to the rick and morty panel and realized you don’t have a clue what funny actually is.
