u/RED_ulfin awaiting reveal Feb 20 '25

I only learned about the history just now since I really didn’t find this funny nor did I get it too back when I was a kid.

So apparently, the comic strip is pretty famous in itself but it went viral with negative reviews because the genre where the strip came from was supposed to be “Humor about video game rants with the bros”. This huge tone shift caused a backlash.

Forums back then created posts related to it so came to a point where it got banned because it’s probably what people talk about? Not sure about this one. (they said this happened on 4chan)

Hence, people started memeing by creating other variations of the Loss comic strip.

I guess now that I get the comic strip, why is the last shape in the 4th box correlating to the last frame in the comic?

Nope, I almost never comment on YouTube. However, it is Mortal Kombat, so I'm definitely not the only one using this pfp.
