What it means

A four-panel comic shows a person discouraging Donkey Kong from pursuing literature, while Donkey Kong describes an absurd magical realist novel. After the person criticizes his “turgid prose,” Donkey Kong drops out of his MFA program, triggering the “YOU WIN” screen. It is used as a reaction to winning an argument by delivering devastating criticism.
