The tonal whiplash doesn’t end there. I think a lot of it started as g*mers just being immature but then Buckley said his girlfriend needed to “get over it” and tried to groom a minor, so he kinda just burned all bridges on the topic.

Yeah I think overall that Loss being a meme has less to do with the text of the comic itself and more the backlash and the backlash to the backlash. Few people engaging with the Loss meme are actually talking about miscarriages; I did see an example recently called “Loss but it’s a red state” which was actually a brilliant bit of political satire. And it’s almost a different meme to the one that produced
