    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.

        Dude’s here talking about how much he hates the idea of a meme, on a meme sub.

      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
