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.

I love this one. It's like telling them that everyone who drinks H2O is going to die and suddenly they want it banned.

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.

In a previous interview, I spoke about Karen memes and the context surrounding them with Matt Schimkowitz, Know Your Meme’s Senior Editor. According to him, there’s lots of potential for the meme to be insensitive and even offensive to women, so care must be taken when using this type of humor. He put it very plainly that we should all meme with caution, whatever the meme might be.

“As [the meme] grows from a parody of a common social experience of someone demanding to speak to a manager to a statement about white privilege, the stakes over the meaning of the meme grow as well,” Matt told Bored Panda.

I'm not an anti-masker, but I'd choose the box. You got nice plexiglass to doodle on if you get bored, or to take notes, and to keep other people at bay.

If we’d just put them all in plexiglass boxes—-correction, LOCKED plexiglass boxes—-from the beginning, I bet the population would be about a half million people bigger right now. Why aren’t these people being treated as pariahs who put the rest of us at unnecessary risk, and contributed to those half million deaths?

all karens should stay in a temporary box where they belong. so they can mind their own business and get on with life. that may sound rude but if putting a mask on is better than siting in a partially open box, 1. because it's a lot less of a hassle and 2. because it saves lives. wonder what country you're in karen! hope it ain't america

yes cause the democrats are definitely the stupid, selfish and entitled party. have you even seen our last president?? the orange dumb f**k? wonder how biden got elected if the democrats are as bad as you paint them... the gop believes in no abortions, gun rights and the first amendment even if it means endangering others. apart from the fact that she IS from the gop, we can safely assume she’s NOT a democrat. stop trying to turn everything into politics. good day.

Sure her choice, but choices have consequences. She can choose not to wear a mask, but then she must face the consequences of not being allowed in public spaces and sitting in a box.

“I think that users of the meme should be cognizant that what they're meme-ing might not be their intent anymore. It's very possible that the meme could grow even farther to exhibit misogynistic tendencies, which are somewhat already present,” Matt warned those who use Karen memes to be aware of the context.

At the core of using memes for humor lies intent. 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.”

My mom had a c-section...definitely an ordeal, definitely delivery, and often people (like my mom) have it because they have previously had a miscarriage and the doctor says it's unsafe to attempt vaginal birth again.

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.
