| SwayM 08/07/20 8:42:25 PM #203 | shockthemonkey posted... I love how TC saved a bunch of YouTube videos he tracked down so he can meltdown and post them whenever someone uses that phrase This is probably the 6th time youve brought it up out of the blue. Some kind of obsession with you guys but fuck if I dont love it because you lose the argument every. Single. Time. Hilarious man. But my favourite thing is that you dont understand you can just search any terms on YouTube and find any content you want? That you think people have to save videos to find them again? What is this take. This is the level of trolling that passes on CE these days. Pretending to not understand basic shit about the internet --- |

| SwayM 08/07/20 2:56:31 AM #10 | Ive been championing this game when the internet collectively decided to shit on it and I think this decision is baffling. Im more cheesed at Sony than anyone because Im sure they had most say in it. The dumbest fuckin thing Id it isnt Insomniacs Spider-Man either. Like that I would somewhat understand and think it would be cool to see a Marvel Game Universe establish itself. But no this is just kinda dumb. Still buying the game but I guess My hand is forced towards PS4. Not too happy about that. --- |

The lack of diverse build options and character customization was a hindrance for me but I love the game despite these things. I wonder if it allowed them to focus more on world and boss design. Unbelievable how fuckin big it is. Especially coming off Bloodborne it seems tiny in comparison. Even including Old Hunters DLC. --- |

| SwayM 08/06/20 11:36:07 PM #193 | CyricZ posted... There are absolutely ways to address a sensitive topic poorly. Calling the creator out for their ineptitude doesn't cheapen the issue. it 100% cheapens it what the fuck are you talking about cyric. In almost 200 posts have we even got in the ballpark of a serious discussion on the subject? The meme culture has decided this is a shitty execution and therefore I cant even approach that topic. 12 years later yall cant even distance yourself enough from the meme to talk about it. Not even remotely. So how is it the subject in question has been dictated, and decidedly written off completely by this shitty tasteless meme? If it was a unanimous response to ineptitude as you presume, which it isnt and you could never make that claim and are simply inferring your own hang ups for everyone perpetuating this meme. You think the worst response it would have got would have been one of indifference. Maybe other people trying to step up and take the reigns and make a better point? You know for a fact this meme is tasteless and has soured a difficult subject and made it impossible to talk about seriously by anyone. 4 panels. No words. And yall cant fuckin handle it. And then go on for 200 posts about how Im a troll and all this shit. I just have to laugh at ya CE. You really dont know how to pick your arguments. --- |

| SwayM 08/06/20 10:59:11 PM #188 | CyricZ posted... That's fine, but clearly folks from 2008 didn't think the same. As has been explained to you repeatedly, the reception at the time wasn't positive. And as its its been explained back to you many times. No way of handling it would have been met with success and you know that. In what world do you think Internet shows uncharacteristic compassion as web comic tries to talk about miscarriages. This was going to shock and enrage childish people and you absolutely know for a fact that the only way people equip themselves to talk about shit is through meme and ridicule. This topic is enough evidence of that. Stop being disingenuous. The reason they it failed is exactly what Im trying to address. Yall werent ready to talk about and clearly havent matured enough in 12 years to look at it with clarity. CyricZ posted... Unfunny webcomic tried to be serious and failed miserably." There. Ah yes. You just have to forgo context and hope they dont ask any follow up questions --- |

Yeah I think it's a fair bet that Buckley wrote himself into a corner and had no clue what it'd be like to be a "gamer dad" and write storylines for that, so the arc was.... aborted. Or. Maybe. He wanted to talk about something he had a personal experience with? Yall fuckin REACHIN in this topic. --- |

| SwayM 08/06/20 10:35:11 PM #183 | CyricZ posted... No one said he's not allowed. We're saying he's not good at it. Would you care to explain how it was actually a good storyline? Please cite specific strips. Who says it needs to be good? I personally think the comic is completely innocuous. Do you honestly think that having a bad storyline is an excuse to turn this serious subject into a meme? Also do you think you could explain this meme to anyone not familiar and either 1) not catch yourself thinking wow am I really defending this shitty meme or 2) that the person would not look at you sideways that this ever turned into what it did. Since you read the thing. Please explain why it deserves the wrath of immature kids who are incapable of having a serious discussion about it. --- |

I mean, I get being excited for a game and wanting it to be good, but he's attached so much of his ego to this game for reasons I can't fathom. I called it from day one they was gonna be awesome and the internet got stupid about it. It was easy enough to shit you down. Now the game speaks for itself. --- |

| SwayM 08/06/20 10:01:49 PM #174 | CyricZ posted... I mean you have an answer to your topic title. This has already been addressed a few times in this topic. First this is a storyline over multiple comics. It wasnt just dropped in at random. Second. Hes absolutely allowed to try and talk about something serious. The fact that thats such a hard concept for you to understand, that youre too immature to parse it so your only way to talk about it is to meme it and ridicule it. You said it yourself in this very post. You roll your eyes at his attempts at comedy so to you what fuckin difference does it make if he forgoes trying to be funny for a few strips? you ridicule the dude either way. Is it because it really doesnt matter what he did or how he did it. You would have found reason to be children about it in the end? And then here we are. --- |

I have zero onus to answer your inane line of irrelevant questioning because you have lost the argument at hand are desperate for anything else to talk about Its hilarious watching you repeatedly throw this Hail Mary from left field.

Saying he stopped trying to fight a meme that had long taken on its own life. What options is he left with? You know Exactly how internet masses work. Look how much hate Im getting for pointing out the absurdity of a meme making fun of miscarriages. I didnt create the thing. Now if he said anything? Oh it would be a nightmare. Yall need any excuse you can get to justify this horse shit. --- |

Loss get flack because it is just bad. SwayM posted... Yall seriously think that dude deserves to be ridiculed and go down forever as a meme because he had the gall to make a web comic that talked about miscarriages. Even in your mind if you think itd bad for whatever reason. That the knee jerk reaction is Totally fair? Could you honestly explain the meme and why its funny to you to someone and not sound like a total piece of shit? Id like to see you try. --- |

| SwayM 08/06/20 8:39:50 AM #112 | Slayer_22 posted... It clearly failed. I honestly, despite having seen the meme and the entire comic a bunch of times, had no god damn idea what it was even about. Thats not the fault of the comic bro. Yall can stop with this nonsense like theres any world where any of you would have had the maturity to take it seriously. Conveyed no message It absolutely does. Its bringing light to something tragic and heartbreaking in the simplest way it can. Its not making a very deep hard to understand point. Its not lecturing or presenting some super preachy argument. Its literally the least offensive route anyone could have gone and yall couldnt handle it. And have memed it to death for 12 fuckin years. If you think being more wordy and ham fisted would have helped its cause youre delusional. Again. Theres no reality that this doesnt piss off you kiddies who are unequipped to have a serious discussion about this in any way. Dont change history. Change your shitty attitude today. Its really not that hard to be a decent person and see this as a tasteless --- |

I dont think its occurred to most people in this topic that even if this comic failed in its messaging. (Which it didnt btw). Thats not carte blanche to act like complete tools over it. Yall seriously think that dude deserves to be ridiculed and go down forever as a meme because he had the gall to make a web comic that talked about miscarriages. And you think Im the one trolling?

| SwayM 08/06/20 4:40:01 AM #99 | IndustrialTrudg posted... Everything can be fodder for humor, even miscarriages. It's only human to joke about Dark subjects, though in this case most of the humor comes from the awkward execution. Again this is very different from a comedian using humour to talk about difficult subjects. Im definitely not saying there isnt humour to be found in dark subject matter. This is the response to a serious attempt at talking about something difficult. This is how people unable to have a decent reaction to complex and serious subject matters ONLY recourse is to ridicule and meme. If you want to joke about miscarriages, go ahead. Write some shit and see how you do. Dont use someones serious attempt to talk about it to fuel your stunted emotions. --- |

You never were making fun of miscarriages Yet yall made a meme out of a comic addressing miscarriages Excuse me if I dont buy this horse shit. You think he made light of it? Could yall pick one argument? Is it tonal whiplash and forced drama or is it a light hearted romp about losing a child? This is how tactless you have to be. To see something as complex like this and being unable to have a normal response to it or treat it like a serious subject matter. If youre this bothered by someone using their platform to talk about this then youre not ready to have any kind of conversation about it. --- |

| SwayM 08/06/20 4:17:17 AM #91 | Zero_Destroyer posted... I'm not being immature about this. I'm providing a critical perspective of why its intent flopped. While shows and comics can weave between comedy and drama, this series sold itself much too hard on lazy & repetitive comedy to justify a miscarriage subplot. Tonal whiplash is a real flaw, and the creator wishing to have people respect his work doesn't function if it's juxtaposted by the rest of his comic. The tonal whiplash is 100% on the shoulders of anyone to immature to parse the context themselves. The only reason were talking about this strip 12 years later is because of the meme. I didnt make it into the meme. The creators intent wasnt to spark a toxic response to difficult subject matter. Calling it pretentious and self important is horse shit. Yall made this into an event and Im just here to tell you to step back and grow up. If the same events happened today I think twitter would have rightfully roasted the immature masses circulating this meme. Akin to how similar emotionally stunted masses have learned not to use language like using gay as lame. I imagine theres a lot of overlap in these demographics. --- |

This is the first return to a normal comic run. 23 days later. Honestly what is your point? Since the beginning of this topic Ive talked about how immature the audience is that they cant handle a serious subject being talked in the middle of a light hearted comic. Its even sadder now that Ive looked it up and this comic wasnt posted at random between two comics like the one quoted. Its literally its own isolated story that went on for a few weeks or so. --- |

Like he thinks its tasteless to make fun of miscarriages Oh what a douche A normal day on CE. [LFAQs-redacted-quote] If you watched 100 people try and Pull open a door that clearly said push you would think nothing more than damn thats a lot of idiots. And then here we are. Zero_Destroyer posted... TC, people have a right to make fun of bad melodrama. There's nothing wrong with handling real issues, but if you lack tact and do not understand tone, the inevitable result will be mockery. Defending a work by saying "but it's REAL DARK stuff!!!" isn't and never will be a real defense because it prescribes value based on the subject matter and not how it's handled. What makes it bad? Other than the internet deciding it so? What if the internet had that nice word you used tact and realized this is a serious situation that the creator of the comic handled, imho, pretty respectfully. Its literally 4 wordless frames that anyone with common sense can understand the context based on the comic alone. It doesnt overstay its welcome. It doesnt try and make a sappy over the top point. Its presenting a really shitty reality. And honestly I couldnt really care to look up the history of it but it comes across to me that it comes from experience. I really dont get your post because your words are literally what Im trying to say. but if you lack tact and do not understand tone Yes. If you lack these things the result is immature people unable to responsibly handle complex emotions and subject matter. This isnt the creators fault his audience is full of simpletons. Hes allowed to feel and express these things how he wants. And theres nothing wrong with using his platform to do it. Theres no excuse for people without tact and respect to not handle this any other way then to make fun of it. None. --- |

| SwayM 08/05/20 11:52:28 PM #56 | Bestoffuture posted... I gotta be honest, I have no idea what's going on in this topic. This is a good litmus test here. Imagine explaining the meme to someone who has no idea where it comes from So this guy wanted to do a serious comic About miscarriages in the middle of his lighthearted comics. We all collectively laughed at and made into memes for over 10 years now. [LFAQs-redacted-quote] Comedians do this all the time actually. Im sure youve heard of many that stick up for their right to tell jokes regardless of subject matter. People argue for a little thing known as context. In this case the table is flipped. The context here is this is serious and he wanted to talk about it. Hes well within his right to. And if people react negatively to it hes allowed to defend it. Im also not the content creator anyway so Im well within my right to tell ya that any vitriol, ridicule and humour from this comic is tasteless and childish as fuck. --- |

Lets say you're a YouTuber and your channel mostly covers sports, and that's what you've been doing for 4 years. When, out of nowhere, you decide to cover anime. Your demographic is gonna react overall differently to the change in different ways: some will be angry, some will accept it, other will find it so outlandish that they'll seem to think of it as a joke. In Loss' case, the change in content did more harm than good and people just happen to make a meme out of it. I dont believe any consumer of media is entitled to tell a content creator what they can and cannot create. --- |
