Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

No idea how to parse this. Still a proud non-knower of the loss meme.
You're not missing out on much. As far as memes go, this one is pretty bad.
As the post says it's about the same quality as a Rick roll. Take that as you will
I’d argue that the loss meme is unique in that people do their best to make it as abstract as possible.im sure I’ve missed so many loss memes cause there wasn’t a comment of “is this loss?”. There is something fun about the game in it cause I’ve seen some high quality attempts to sneak loss into other things
Given that the author was genuinely inspired by something he lived (it's never been cleared up for me whether he had a girlfriend experience miscarriage or what), I never really understood the vicious and now eternal mockery. Just goes to show the community...
The meme itself is wonderfully elegant! It's a reduction of the original comic to its simplest form. The sort of shit that should evolve over the course of centuries gets done in a few weeks in the Internet primordial soup. I could write it thus and I reckon it's still recognizable : I Ii II I_
Each bar represents a character in the otherwise silent comic. And is usually presented in a two by two pattern to reflect the comic layout. But it's been deconstructed to much it'd still work as I've rendered it above.
I genuinely can't tell if you're fucking with me
they're not.
That was a close one. I almost read that! Closed the tab just in time
