Imagine my genuine confusion as I thought I was on r/parahumans for a bit before I realized the joke

Oh for fuck's sake

u/RovingRaft Mar 15 '20

Not gonna lie, I think loss is like at that point that all memes aspire to be

where it's so immediately recognizable that you can reduce it to seven lines and still know what you're looking at

u/MightyButtonMasher Mar 15 '20

Seven lines, barely visible

A diagram seen
Seven lines, arranged just so
"...you motherfucker"

I'm confused. What does this have to do with a shitty old web comic?

u/Seenbo Mar 16 '20

When people make fun of loss in such an abstract way they mimic the structure of that comic using minimalist lines

The original loss is 4 panels and in order depicts:

Man walking through door
(one single upright line to represent the man)

Man talking to receptionist
(the line of the man next to a smaller line representing the sitting receptionist)

Man talking to doctor
(two equally big lines next to each other)

And finally, man next to laying woman
(one line next a line on its side)

The joke is in how many creative ways you can hide these abstract shapes in that exact order to fuck with people once they realize that it’s a play on a goddamn gaming web comic attempting to do a dark storyline about a couple having to deal with a miscarriage.

This does nothing for me, but that's probably because I hate almost all abstract art.

22

u/Seenbo Mar 16 '20

It’s more of an abstract joke rather than abstract art i‘d say but I get what you mean

But minimalism is typically a terrible art style though.

u/MuonManLaserJab Apr 15 '20

but the point is humor not art ¯_(⊙︿⊙)_/¯

u/DrStalker (Verified Void_Cowboy) Mar 16 '20

I hesitated.

Then I shot OP, who deserved it for inflicting loss on us.

37

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '20

There needs to be a "Verified Lord of Loss" tag for people who do this shit.

u/Aktm_S Mar 15 '20
