The problem with loss is the impact of it is ...ahem... lost without the context of what an enormous douchebag Tim Buckley was online at that time. Like part of what makes loss so ridiculous is the audacious sanctimonious nature of the comic coming from the internet's least-likable egotist and troll. You can read as many KYM wikis as you want, but if you weren't around to witness what a fucking shitbag Buckley was during that time then you can't really feel the way loss hit when it hit.

I didn't have this context. I always thought it was really heartless how people turned it into a meme. Honestly, it still isn't funny to me. Guess you had to be there.

[-] Wogi@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

I don't believe that's an accurate statement. Ctrl Alt Del had, and apparently still has, some pretty militant critics. It always has. Everything I've been able to find is threads of unrepentant cruelty directed at Tim Buckley with very little context, generally leaning on the loss comic. The obsession is a little weird, to be honest.

Can you share more?

Is he not a shit bag anymore?

[-] molochthagod@lemmy.world 55 points 8 months ago

as someone learning Chinese, this is top-tier meme

[-] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 47 points 8 months ago

I've always saw loss as a stupid internet circlejerk but damn do you people get creative with it.

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 23 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

It was such a dumb comic storyline though.

Like why did he think his "funny"weekly comic about video games suddenly needed a serious storyline?

[-] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 22 points 8 months ago

Something bad affected him personally so naturally the whole world had to know.

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 23 points 8 months ago

He talked about it like she was totally crazy for being emotional about it and he played it off as "whatever, it happens". The whole thing was very odd.

[-] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 6 points 8 months ago

It became "Cope".

[-] regretday@lemmy.world 43 points 8 months ago

If you don't get it, this is a reference to the webcomic, Loss. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/loss

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 61 points 8 months ago

I know today's 10,000 and all that, but if there are people who made it to lemmy without running across loss I'd love to understand how

[-] Lmaydev@programming.dev 44 points 8 months ago

It was over 15 years ago now. Younger users may have seen references and not know what it is.

[-] Yuki@kutsuya.dev 23 points 8 months ago

I still don't get it, been on the internet since 98... Can someone you please explain it to this dumbass.

[-] molochthagod@lemmy.world 35 points 8 months ago

There was this popular web comic about video games and geeky shit, and it was mostly funny. Then one day they made this one comic strip about miscarriage called "Loss". It became a meme because most people found it super pretentious for a funny little webcomic to suddenly do this kinda heavy drama with no dialogue like it's some arthouse film.

[-] Sentient@sh.itjust.works 8 points 8 months ago

Maybe click on the link they provided ?

[-] acetanilide@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

I did, and I still don't get it

[-] Sentient@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

My brother in christ what do you not get i will help.

[-] Capitao_Duarte@lemmy.eco.br 17 points 8 months ago

I'd never seen this or heard of it till today. And today I'm not sure I understand

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 5 points 8 months ago

Weird, are you not at least partially a terminally online nerd like the rest of us? I never actually read the comic but it seems like it's impossible to have been on reddit and such for so long without ever running across it.

[-] Capitao_Duarte@lemmy.eco.br 8 points 8 months ago

I thought I was. I've been cutting back on it the last couple of years, but still

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 8 months ago

I only understood this meme very recently.

[-] Sentient@sh.itjust.works 29 points 8 months ago

I am at a loss on what to say.

[-] ludrol@bookwormstory.social 25 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

This is fantastic! You should repost this into !japaneselanguage@sopuli.xyz

[-] Andrew15_5@mander.xyz 14 points 8 months ago

はい、ロスだよ。

[-] thechadwick@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

そうだぜ、ロスだなー。

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Needs more language variants. Korean? Vietnamese?

And a whole parallel development via sumerian -> cuneiform -> Phoenician -> greek -> latin

I only took two years of Chinese in high school but this was genuinely how it felt
