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.

    Karen Alley Is Out Of Her Mind

    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.

    HP2806 Report

    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.

    See, more people need that attitude. This is not an 'if you see something, say something' situation. This is an 'I don't know if there are rules or not but I think this should be the rule and I'm going to enforce it, nevermind that there are actual authority figures present.'

    My 15 yo daughter gets ridiculed, on the daily, about her guide dog. It’s a German Shepherd. 1) no adult ever should approach a kid, tween or teen and say anything to them! More less an adult 2) she has ASD, Narcolepsy 1, seizures and several other conditions. 3) anyone approaching her makes her go silent. Then the a$$ wipes demand she speaks! 4) it’s always a Karen or Ken that berates her too. 5) when she does have the confidence to speak she makes them feel about an inch tall bc she is high functioning and what people don’t understand is high functioning ASD, in some cases, the person has a high IQ, which she does. The jerks can’t even comprehend her bc she is talking WAY above there heads. 6) “that dog” cost more than your car!!! Side not, please don’t ever interfere with a service dog while they are with their owners and ask to pet them. NO. They are working. They get plenty exercise and are treated like Gods in most homes bc they are the ones that protect our loved one.

    In France even my american staffordshire terrier took buses and trains, and subways, the law just require a muzzle for any dog on public transportation. One time i was on the parisian subway to make a change of train station and he was lying on the floor in a full superman pose, and a group of asian tourists were about to enter the car, they saw him and went "NOPE, not this car". So i guess that they never saw superman sleeping with a muzzle on their subways.

    4 years ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    There is, black animals are the less adopted, dogs and cats. I adopted a black cat who had to wait in several shelters for adoption because he was black, he was the most gentle and beautiful cat, a dog in a cats body. The only reason nobody took him before me was because he was black. And there are a lot of racism with dogs breeds too, such a shame. A labrador can bite and a pitbull can be the most gentle hugging happy friend too. People are idiots they need to categorize everything/everyone.

    This looks like it's the UK and dogs are allowed on buses anyway, guide dog or not. Woman should have been thrown off just for being abusive.

    Your country should buy a desert island far from civilization and send all karens to it and of course Trump could join them. No communication and no one checks on them. What a beautiful dream that would be.

    “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.
