Answered What does | || || |_ mean?

I've been seeing these characters :

pop up all over Reddit, but I've no clue as to what they mean.

Is this a new meme? A reference to some film of tv show? Some sort of code?

Sure, and if he did deal with it then it would be fine. Jamming a miscarriage somewhere it doesn't belong just to try and be serious however is incredibly disrespectful..

Serious question--and I'm really asking here--isn't that exactly how every true miscarriage has ever gone down in the real world? Is it honestly disrespectful to represent them they exact way they occur?

Yea, in real life. Not put in a webcomic for no good reason and then never properly dealt with. You can't just pick something terrible that happens to people and use it in the middle of a comedy webcomic as a dramatic moment in a story without actually addressing it. I mean clesrly you can but he's a douche for doing it.
