Y'ever read Ctrl-Alt-Del, the webcomic? No? Keep it that way.

The short version is that it was a gaming webcomic and therefore axiomatically trivial, and acted like it until the events depicted in loss.jpg happened.

And then later (or maybe at the same time, it's thankfully been many years since I looked) the author spouted some unsurprisingly terrible opinions about women and miscarriages on his blog.

The mockery is mostly overdone and low-result after this long, but occasionally something still resonates. Just not with everyone.

It's ironically funny, which is what all the memes are showing.

And maybe if we keep trying to explain it we'll kill it, like a butterfly in a jar

A dude took a gaming webcomic and had an extended arc about one of the characters (his stand in's wife) having a miscarriage. That alone, along with the fallout was the best thing to ever happen to webcomics

Nothing would make me happier than someone getting this as a tattoo and playing it off as inspired by an iching character or tribal design or something.

I don't think there's anything that the Doom comic guy wouldn't make hilarious.

This one just gets funnier when you realize what the Doom guy is screaming in that last panel. (Although I guess you'd need to have read the Doom comic first.)

edit:gently caress it actually just gets funnier, when you include the lines from each panel.

Yeah, it was the newspost with the comic in question.
