      Man, at this point some sociology student could probably write a dissertation just on the cultural context of this comic alone. Both the stuff you’re talking about regarding de-stigmatizing talking about trauma (and miscarriage in particular), and the way the comic itself has been meme-ified and distilled down to representations as abstract as “.:|:;

      I see your point and don’t entirely disagree, I’ll just its hard to feel bad about somebody suffering the consequences of their own actions (not the miscarriage obviously, but the reaction to it).

      You don’t really get to complain about feeling alone when you’re the one that burned all the bridges that lead to your house, imo.

          Thank you for being part of the merciful 10%.

              It isn’t overly generous, you yourself said it, “…I’d still help them.”

              I’m glad you like the quote, thank you again for living it :)
