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.
