Explaining loss humor is impossible
So like, she had a miscarriage and is crying about it and her boyfriend makes it just in time to see the results and uh yeah it's the funniest thing ever why are you leaving
No, wait, it gets better. Get this. Circle jerk about it for a couple of decades and it gets funnier, oh, OK, still going.
At least the ඞmongus generation understands the fun in hiding references everywhere.
i always refer people to this documentary.
I still don't understand how it's funny
At this point we're like three jokes deep.
The original reaction to the comic was kind of a collective chuckle of "Whahahahat the fuck?" Because the comic was like discount store brand Penny Arcade, irreverent bullshit gamer humor, and then comes the sudden plotline that the girlfriend character has a miscarriage.
Like, Loss itself isn't bad in and of itself; telling the story of the character's journey through the hospital with no dialog, it's competent...but it stood in such contrast to what the comic had been about for so long and the audience just wasn't on board with it that it became a controversy. And Buckley's clap back against it and the following drama made it memetic.
At some point, the imagery became so recognizeable even in the abstract that it became a prank to communicate the idea of the comic in as abstract a form as possible, hence the "Is this Loss" meme. Somewhere between rickrolling and "you just lost the game."
Damn , Loss-torian over here , tnx for the good read
I think it ~~'s~~ (Edit: started out) more about how Tim Buckley is terrible than anything. (Edit: Then from there it) sort of collapsed into its own joke. No one really knows or cares about the context anymore, its become a self-contained meme with no real meaningful connection to Tim, the original comic, or its message now.
I think it's more about how people on the internet are terrible than anything. It sort of collapsed.
I think the joke is terrible people being terrible to terrible people when a genuinely terrible thing happens in their lives.
As long as everyone is terrible, I'm in.
if only there were more staggeringly interesting queer women with red/green colorblindness who held this opinion.
That seems oddly specific.
we all have needs, dear.
No judgment, only curiosity.
im saying one needs to not be able to see red flags to date me.
I think it's about that dress that was definitely blue.
more a vexilology thing. i have a type. there are requirements.
I've heard of a red flag, but this is ridiculous.

okay, you explain why someone who can tell the difference would get close to me!
your explanation cannot involve wizards or icepicks, and they have to be conscious.
also they have to know im there. no hiding me in the walls or something. most of the relationships I tried to start that way never got off the ground; longest one lasted three months.
I've heard of edging, but this is ridiculous.

Its not "haha!" funny, but rather "aha!" funny.
I think it's more for fun than funny. Like The Game or the 👌.
Saddam meme too.
