The problem with loss is the impact of it is ...ahem... lost without the context of what an enormous douchebag Tim Buckley was online at that time. Like part of what makes loss so ridiculous is the audacious sanctimonious nature of the comic coming from the internet's least-likable egotist and troll. You can read as many KYM wikis as you want, but if you weren't around to witness what a fucking shitbag Buckley was during that time then you can't really feel the way loss hit when it hit.
I didn't have this context. I always thought it was really heartless how people turned it into a meme. Honestly, it still isn't funny to me. Guess you had to be there.
I don't believe that's an accurate statement. Ctrl Alt Del had, and apparently still has, some pretty militant critics. It always has. Everything I've been able to find is threads of unrepentant cruelty directed at Tim Buckley with very little context, generally leaning on the loss comic. The obsession is a little weird, to be honest.

Is he not a shit bag anymore?
as someone learning Chinese, this is top-tier meme

Oracle Bone, Bronze, Seal, Traditional and Simplified Hanzi are all Chinese. Only Kanji is Japanese and only by proxy, so this meme is like 70% Chinese and 30% Japanese. You would know that if you learned Japanese.
I've always saw loss as a stupid internet circlejerk but damn do you people get creative with it.
If you don't get it, this is a reference to the webcomic, Loss. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/loss
I know today's 10,000 and all that, but if there are people who made it to lemmy without running across loss I'd love to understand how
I am at a loss on what to say.
This is fantastic! You should repost this into !japaneselanguage@sopuli.xyz
はい、ロスだよ。
そうだぜ、ロスだなー。
Needs more language variants. Korean? Vietnamese?
And a whole parallel development via sumerian -> cuneiform -> Phoenician -> greek -> latin
I only took two years of Chinese in high school but this was genuinely how it felt
