That’s your experience. It can be far removed from the comic, but if you know the context behind it, it doesn’t really change the original association—someone drew a horizontal line over a comic woman after a miscarriage. One in 10 women experience a miscarriage in their lives, about 23 million every year—also think about the partners who, like in the comic, grieve too. That’s a lot of people to be reminded of a possible traumatizing situation. It’s okay if you want to keep the meme, but please don’t act like it’s extremely funny or original. It’s old, and the meme deserved to fade after a long and edgy life.
I love you all genuinely. I cherish reading about your lives—your hobbies, your concerns, and everything that matters to you. Please know how much you are appreciated.
