History NeverLiveItDown / Webcomics

* Monette in ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive'' has since been adopted by the [=MacIntyres=] and become a successful actress. But, despite now being in a committed lesbian relationship, she'll be remembered as the most man-loving lesbian ''ever''...who'd rather [[BestialityIsDepraved do animals than women]].
* In ''Webcomic/SidekickGirl'', Illumina has a reputation for being [[CartwrightCurse a death magnet]] to her sidekicks (Part of the reason [[FromASingleCell immortal]] Val was assigned to her). Only one, Val's immediate predecessor, actually died. Of her other long-term sidekicks, one quit on her in the middle of a fight and the other went insane from the stress of being [[NotGrowingUpSucks an eternal twelve-year-old.]]

* A somewhat meta-example in ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'': In one page the readers didn't recognize Eglamore, so whenever he now appears, Tom will ''always'' point out to them that it's Eglamore.

** He lampshaded this at one point by pointing out that "the girl next to Eglamore is Antimony Carver, the hero this strip".

* ''Webcomic/BugMartini'' has a strip [[http://www.bugmartini.com/comic/tv-me/ about this phenomenon]].

* ''Webcomic/HeadTrip'' [[http://headtripcomics.comicgenesis.com/d/20080118.html has]] this invoked.

* It's impossible to talk about ''Webcomic/CtrlAltDel'' without fans immediately thinking of an infamous comic strip ''Loss''. Due to an extreme MoodWhiplash, as well as tackling a serious topic that a lot of audience never expected it to cover, this comic strip became so infamous and jarring that it has ascended into a [[MemeticMutation meme status]] and still talked about to this day.

* ''Webcomic/BugMartini'' provides us with [[http://www.bugmartini.com/comic/tv-me/ this example]].

* The rather... tactless way [[spoiler: Melna's rape]] was handled in ''Webcomic/DominicDeegan'' is still the single most pointed out problem with the strip the Hatedom brings up- To the point that even years later, that comic is still the most linked to page of the comic's entire run according to one Snarker's google search.

* Website/Fireball20XL and its webmaster, Bryon "Psyguy" Beaubien, were brought down after a highly publicized callout movement brought his abuse of women and sexually predatory behavior to light. He would attempt to silence his victims and detractors, but all of his efforts were thwarted, and a Tumblr account documenting the evidence of his misdoings would be set up to ensure no one would ever forget what he did.

* Webcomic/CtrlAltDel's {{Hatedom}} used to have a lot of reasons to hate CAD. All of them have since been replaced by the [[ConvenientMiscarriage miscarriage arc.]]
** The comic has had several other NeverLiveItDown moments (Abbygate, "black" Zeke, "don't fuck with us", Lucas' date with Kate), but chances are that the miscarriage is the one that even people who don't read webcomics will know about.
** Of the Miscarriage arc is the strip titled "Loss". The culmination of the dubious art, DullSurprise, and bad scene blocking has made this particular strip outshine the popularity of the entire comic all together. The memetic nature of Loss will always be held as a testament against the comic.

%% "In-universe" examples go under OnceDoneNeverForgotten, the in-universe version of NeverLiveItDown.

* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' has an in-universe example with Abraham's creation of the Dewitchery Diamond. [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=993 Every properly trained wizard has heard of him]].

* In-world example: One fan-based ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' comic included a troll with a nickname he absolutely despised. It was just the one time on a dare, but nobody ever lets it go. They just keep calling him [[EatsBabies Baby-Eater]].
* ''Webcomic/BittersweetCandyBowl'' has this in-universe for Jessica and Tess to the rest of the school ([[spoiler:Jessica is not actually a slut, and Tess regrets the bullying she did]]).

* InUniverse within ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}''. Nobody will let Karkat forget the shipping chart.
** Meanwhile, the fandom will probably never let John live down his [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday "I'm not a homosexual"]] comment. Try to find ''one'' slash fic involving John where he ''doesn't'' say that or bring it up.
* This transpires InUniverse in ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' when knowledge of Tarvek's ... "adorning" of Lucrezia-controlled Agatha becomes widely known. Even Gil heard about it. He still does it in his head sometimes, so he has only himself to blame for it.

* Another InUniverse example occurs in ''WebComic/WhiteDarkLife''. Quite a few of them, actually, most involving [[AuthorAvatar Luigi]][[NoSocialSkills fan]]:
** A downplayed example is Tails' "[[LooseLips You just told me, foxboy!]]" incident from ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2''.
** Luigifan had a lot of trouble living down the time he nearly killed Tulip with his Yveltal. The incident made it onto [[Quotes/DidntThinkThisThrough the Quotes page for "Didn't Think This Through"]] '''for a damn good reason.'''
** Luigifan will never, ''ever'' live down the time he accidentally hit Uma in the face with a glass bottle and knocked her unconscious. Even worse, the contents -- he ''tried'' to make a LovePotion using assorted pheromones. What he ''actually'' made, due to not being all that much of a chemist, is a stinkbomb.
** Another from Luigifan is claiming that Princess Torch would make "beautiful firebird babies" with Inu. (He was actually expressing relief that Torch wasn't saying something outlandish about Inu, with the example being that they would "make beautiful firebird babies", but everyone around him reacted... poorly. Torch absolutely ''hates'' it when the incident is brought up.)
** Speaking of Torch, she'll likely never live down her repeated glomping of Inu, including when she [[AndCallHimGeorge nearly crushed him to death]] on their first meeting and the extended cuddle session that prompted the aforementioned "beautiful firebird babies" remark.
* Captain Tagon, in ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'', gets this in-universe after he crashes into a table and winds up with a fork in his eye. For the rest of the ''Mallcop Command'' arc, his crew keep making fork jokes.
--> '''Captain Tagon:''' I bet I can live that down after I turn it to my advantage.

* ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}'': Happens to Robin in-universe. She's a decorated war hero, and served two terms as her district's congresswoman, having ran actively for a third term, and having been key an a great deal of landmark legislation, including one bill that resulted in a month of world peace. All people remember her from is that one sex tape.

* Website/Fireball20XL and its webmaster, Bryon "Psyguy" Beaubien, were brought down after a highly publicized callout movement brought his abuse of women and sexually predatory behavior to light. He would attempt to silence his victims and detractors, but all of his efforts were thwarted, and a Tumblr account documenting the evidence of his misdoings would be set up to ensure he would no one would ever forget what he did.

** Upon Reynir's addition to the main cast, the idea of eating him is the crew ever ran out of food was brought up very briefly, and the chapter of Reynir's arrival ended with actual orders to the crew to keep Reynir alive. Several real life years later, comment quips about the crew's food reserves or cannibalism will inevitably find a way to involve Reynir.
