I don't think perpetuating a meme that, even inadvertently, belittles the emotional hardness of a miscarriage, is the right thing to do.
Regardless of this meme originating from a comic going from 0 to 100 in the level of seriousness it usually portrays, it is not something that we should endorse.
- legostormtroopr 8y agoSadly the original post that went with it is lost to time, but Cyancide and Happiness kept some of it. We aren't making fun of miscarriage, but someones terrible poor attempt at portraying it in a comic, along with a post that said miscarriage is "often much harder on the woman than on the man" and that it "doesn't necessarily turn you into a sad, depressed sack of tears". [1] If you don't like it, as Tim B^Uckley says "move past it".

- whywhywhywhy 8y agoThis is looking at humour in a very one dimensional and puritanical manner. Comedy, like art we can't just point at the subject matter and shake our heads that it's distasteful and dismiss the whole work. Some of the most highly regarded comedy ever made has used subject matter that is tragic or horrifying, any comedy around Nazis for which there are countless examples and the work of Chris Morris (Brasseye, Jam, Four Lions) come to mind.
