Acting like an entitled, spoiled brat won’t win you any favors and won’t make you any new friends. In fact, you’re bound to lose a few if you don’t tone it down and continue making other people’s lives a living hell.

To you and I, these people are simply huge jerks who are best left ignored. But to the internet, they’re known as ‘Karens,’ no matter their actual gender or real name. Shaming ignorant Karens has become so huge, it’s even spawned its own subreddit, the ‘Eff You Karen’ community that shows everyone how not to act if you want to be a good person.

In the mood for some more examples of unearned entitlement and outrage? Once you’re done upvoting the pics that made your jaw drop in this list, check out Bored Panda’s previous article about the ‘Eff You Karen’ community right over here.

Problem is, it starts with a lie. "This is a standard vaccine composition." I don't know about anyone else, but you start with a lie, I have no reason to believe the rest. BTW, I am fully vaccinated.

It’s kind of a soft lie. "An apple a day keeps the doctor away", so it’s like a vaccine in some way. And it shows how people generally fall to lies, even all of the vaccine-related lies.

Anti-vaxxers are dumb, real dumb, but I also wouldn’t agree to having an apple injected into my body. If it didn’t kill me, likely I’d develop a food allergy to apples. I point this out because I think it’s comically ironic.

What I took from this is: - If you don't know the exact composition of a vaccine, you're "not qualified" to doubt the way the pharma corporations are making them now. - BUT even if you don't know the exact composition of a vaccine you're, by this definition, qualified to decide you want it injected into your body. Sounds about right...

Unfortunately, one underlying fact to anti-vax ideology is that most vaccines used to be preserved with a mercury compound. Mercury is not good for the human body, but it was used nevertheless. Some people do have legitimate allergies to eggs, horse serum, monkey serum, etc. and vaccines used to be made in those animals/serums. With the advent of the new vaccines using RNA, some of those problems will disappear, however, the real problem is that the pharm companies have a bad reputation and are untrustworthy IMHO. It isn't fair to label anti-vax people as idiots (altho a few are) because some have legitimate reasons. I am not an anti-vax person. I participated in the oral Sabin Polio tests as a kid, but I don't trust the MMR vaccine. I think it is a good thing to educate yourself free of both extremes.

Tell them all about “dihydrogen monoxide”! There was once an April Fools radio scare over this, saying this was released into all their water-taps & people were going crazy ... until they found out that it’s just a fancy phrase for “water/H2O” & they got insanely pissed! 😂

I'm not an anti vaxxer. I like vaccines and am thankful for them. I would like to see an actual list of ingredients in the covid vax. I'd like for it to be FDA approved before I get injected. I mean, I'd like to buy a Ford Bronco, but not the first year. I'd rather wait to see if there are any bugs and let Ford work that out before I purchase. Why would I not do the same with my own body?

    Karen Alley Is Out Of Her Mind

    kirstiealley Report

    The ‘Eff You Karen’ subreddit, founded in late 2017, is now homing in on the 1.2-million-member mark. Some of the subreddit’s rules include avoiding political topics, avoiding witch hunts, and censoring social media identities in order to protect the people being poked fun at.

    They might be in the wrong and be way too entitled, but there are very few people who actually deserve being spammed by a bunch of angry internet users. Everyone makes mistakes and we need to leave enough room for people to grow and become better. Though, of course, that’s not an excuse for acting like a horrible, entitled person in the first place.

    “I think that users of the meme should be cognizant that what they're meme-ing might not be their intent anymore.

Know Your Meme’s Senior Editor Matt pointed out that the Karen meme, something that’s used and enjoyed by many people, could eventually become connected to something that many would find offensive if people with sexist beliefs started using the term as a “catchall for all women.”

    Though we can’t expect memes to be completely neutral. “Meme-ing can be nihilistic artform and rewards really ugly behavior in some cases. Sometimes, what starts as a fairly inoffensive meme can grow into something really hateful, like Pepe the Frog. I could see that happening to Karen—though, I'm not really sold one way or the other on the debate."

    According to Matt, it’s hard to find the exact origin of the Karen meme. However, he personally believes that the most convincing origin story is a bit from Dane Cook's 2005 comedy special , "The Friend That Nobody Likes" where Karen is given this title. "This is one of the earliest examples that we have to using a specific name to stand in for a whole type of person, and it's a comedic trope that we've seen dozens of times over the last 15 years," Matt explained the possible origins of the meme to Bored Panda.
