              <text>The loss meme is a testament to the universal language that is shared among a vast majority of internet users which allows communication on a level beyond words.  This meme has a tragic beginning as the source material was a four panel comic in which the artist lamented over his significant other's miscarriage.  However. the internet as a whole took this and ran with it.  It began with people recreating the meme in unique ways and eventually was a s simple as four quadrants with lines in positions similar to the positions of the characters in the original comic.  The meme is extremely widespread and can be found in almost any context.  I even discovered it was slipped in to DOOM: ETERNAL.  A game released less than a month ago.</text>
