The Importance of Taking an L

I'm calling out poor etiquette. The phrase "hold the L" isn't used to help someone but to rub it in that they lost or try to anger someone. It's a petty statement. People want to joke about it but it's become the go to response nowadays, it's the 2017's "u mad" phrase.

Why take an L when you can double down.

So does taking the D mean accepting a draw?
The only time I've ever found it even remotely amusing is when people post that pic of NYC's L train. At least that has a side of wit (although like all memes, it goes down very quickly when people keep using it).

Just for clarity, rolling an L has nothing to do with this right?

It's not a meme tho.

It bothers me when *straight people* say "yas queen" but otherwise, you gotta let people wild out.

Nobody's bouncing back from these Ls.
Whoever was offering to pay for people to see that movie took a huge L in that thread.

The joke was about people continually stealing "urban" lexicon and playing it out until we have to walk around saying flippity floppity floop. Clearly that wasn't the first choice.

So you disagree with the statement because it has existed before 2017? You're not making a solid argument at all.

You are really sensitive about this Taking an L shit. It's not that serious bruh and it's been around since forever. It's really not about comforting someone. It's about "bruh, this shit is over, you lost, lose with dignity you clown". It's not suppose to be nice. It's suppose to be blunt
No bruh he said L, not K
Can't comment on anything about the thread cuz images are blocked at work, I assume it's about a guy that can't take an L
SS is sensitive about anything
Or just an annoying contrarian to anything whatsoever.
It's both a lot of times.
Soundcloud rapper flew a woman out, he broke as fuck, she shits on him, he takes it to twitter, she releases a recording of their convos, he can't take the L at all. He has now said he's broke because his dad has cancer. No one knows if he's serious.

I suppose making an L out of Obama faces counts as blunt.
You can be blunt and nice. It's called tact. Telling someone to take the L (when that's all that's said) isn't. I find it odd so many people are against general niceties. The person saying "take the L" is literally a poor winner.

- It's not that serious
- The goal isn't to be nice
- People telling you to take the L arent the ones who hand it to you.
- It's really not that serious

Why can't the goal be to be nice? You can still be blunt and nice (as already said), it just comes down to how well you can communicate. Of course anyone can say it but it still evokes the winning side position.
You say it's not serious but it is annoying. You would probably say it isn't until someone for no reason just responds with "hold that L". It's probably why a lot of people on GAF don't post on free-message boards because it's filled with that shit and deep-down, most people can't stand it, so I highly suspect "it's not serious".

Because it's not that serious
It's mostly said in hopes they stop embrassing themselves.
If you can take an L you rarely run into this phrase. It's highlighting people who can just accept they lost and leave it be.
Okay if you say so.

I don't understand ANY of this.
What's an L? Maybe i'll suddenly think this is funny or something like that.

Half? Too modest

You say the bolded but this thread is an example of the opposite.
People can take the L, you just assume the response is bad or embarrassing because you don't want to deal with conversation.
Again, you say it's not serious without explaining how overusing a meme by lots of people to tell 1 person they've lost isn't serious. I suspect it's serious for that 1 person just how dog-piling is whether the topic is innocuous or serious.
OOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooSSSSShhhhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
