      You don’t want to. It’s an abstract reference to an uninteresting meme about miscarriage called ‘Loss’.

      People post things with the format of the position of the people in the meme in 4 frames ( I, II, II, I _), and everyone congratulates themselves and each other for getting the reference.

      This one, however, doesn’t work in my opinion. The door positions in frames 1, 2, and 3 are meant to indicate people standing, yet the same position of the right door in frame 4 apparently indicates a person lying down.

      This, as it happens, is therefore not Loss.

        Based on the first 50% of your post, I would like to be your friend.

        I have no opinion, positive or negative, on the second 50% - except that I support the dissemination of accurate information.

        Person uses artistic outlet to convey their sadness. Internet circle jerks about it for decades.

          Person who used artistic outlet was apparently an asshole and got mocked for seeking sympathy.

        how is that the same position? it’s the backseat door. the others aren’t.

        also not uninteresting. it’s famously interesting, otherwise people would’ve moved on.

        Nice explanation. However I’d argue the bottom right panel is different because the right hand door is the back door of the car, and therefore, different to frames 2 and 3. Though it is kinda stretching it …

          It’s the worst. Dude used his artistic outlet to convey an emotion and was shit on by a bunch of assholes. Then that became so popular that the meta and ‘game’ lived on. God forbid someone try to express themselves. People try to say “it was just so out of place” fuck that, dude didn’t owe anyone shit.

            Right, so, this meme is fucking dumb still. Good talk.
