[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

It's too much how can we escape the Loss!!??!??!??!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

But, then don't we have a loss of the loss, which means recursive losses of losses?

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GASP AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[-] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago

My toes if anyone is still wondering.

[-] [email protected] 63 points 1 week ago

My toes, Sis.

[-] [email protected] 26 points 1 week ago

Dammit, thank you. I was thinking "toeses" like gollum might say. See, here I was thinking my comment was probably pointless.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

To be fair, that was also what I was thinking, it wasn’t until the “sis” part was mentioned that it dawned on me.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago

I thought your sister's name was Chondria?

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

She's a real powerhouse

I'm a smart moron, I went with "My toesies."

Truly I'm in loss.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

~~Same~~ Samesies.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Yes thats the joke

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

[-] [email protected] 81 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago

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

[-] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Gender reveal lights?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

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

[-] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

And you don't see the beauty in that?

[-] [email protected] -3 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

Loss is ...edgy?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Depends how old you are.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

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?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

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

[-] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

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.
