35 Times ‘Karens’ Acted So Entitled, The Internet Had To Call Them Out For It In This Online Group
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
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.

Damn It Karen
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 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.”

Karen Doesn't Like The Way You Had Your Baby
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."

Sadly any gender-stratified system is going to have problems. Flipping it would just make for a different kind of awful in the long run because you'd still have a system that treats half the population as inferior for something they have no control over. I'd be happier if people stopped caring about gender entirely instead.

I don't think it counts as pedophilia if you're attracted to someone in their late teens given they already have their "adult" bodies by that point. I mean I can't tell a 17 year old from a 23 year old in most cases. That being said, how the hell were DADS not able to control their impure thoughts? You can't control what you're attracted to but you sure as hell can control how you act on it.

Adults need to stop sexualizing girls. Last time I checked legs aren't private parts and everyone has them. Her butt is covered and I assume so are her breasts, the only issue here is the men sexualizing this girl and the other adults who allowed it.

I'm sure if a girl just had a attractive face they would still have "impure thoughts". So dumb to punish the girl for that.

There is a lot of this thinking in religion. Many young girls are instructed to wear certain clothing as to not “arouse” men especially older ones. Oooooooorrr you could could just ask god why you keep getting boners off young girls.

I was raised Christian, still am, and this pretty much is the unspoken way of it. I've grown up feeling like my body grew into a commodity that I had to hide from men because they would either lust after me, only want me for my body, try to touch my body, or people would judge me. I've decided to buy a bathing suit that shows my belly, and I'm afraid my Christian friends will judge me for it and I already know I won't be able to wear it in front of certain people. I do believe in modesty, but I also believe we don't need to cover our ankles anymore, which means there's a certain amount of moving with the times. There's also no accountability put on men to respect women no matter what they're wearing. In the church it's mostly put on the women. I believe in the gospel but man it's hard to coexist with Christians sometimes.

This way of thinking is disgusting. Men and boys need to be accountable. They are responsible for their thoughts and actions, which includes sexualising another person or child. It's not right that women or girls need to amend their behaviour or clothing to prevent themselves from unwanted advances, rape, etc. The onus is firmly on the men and boys here.

i'm not surprised. when my daughters were pre-teens and early teens....i was badly surprised and more than a little disgusted....when i found that their female friends' dads would have a few beers and then start....rating the young girls. these were military and military dependent men, or civilian workers, on an overseas naval station. and you know....you can't tell them they're wrong or disgusting or anything, because they're surrounded by other dipshits just like them. swell...

I think your find it was the mums that complained, when they caught their husbands looking. Plus 17 year old girls have developed bodies, you don't know what she was wearing or how either party were really acting. when I was 17, I was living with a 29 year old, that was my choice. I was also the one that pursued him.

Pulled The Ole Switcheroo
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.

She just stared at me and said "uh I always get a normal whole chicken". I was like oh that also works, not everyone knows about the soup chicken blah blah. She suddenly gets mad at me because she always got a whole chicken whilst we had something else she didn't know about. Almost screaming at me how we scammed her and that we have horrible service.
