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.

Takes Being A Karen To A New Level
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."

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.

I wish people knew the definition of communism. Even better, I wish they had been to a communist country. I remember feeling the oppression. Everything was much more difficult. I was 13, it is something I will never forget. My father lived under a communist government, the ignorance of some people is insulting. What he lived and what people fear are worlds apart. Acting for the greater good is not communism. It is the act of a intelligent society. Even after loved ones died or others died after catching the illness from them, they are still self righteous. With all the deaths in this country how can they be in denial, still.

Yes. I understand your point. I had family that originated from some communist country too. This was not communism. this was corrupted communism. Communism is good in theory, but humans are, well, humans.

Meanwhile in communist china: 90,944 cases and only 4,636 deaths... in a country with a population of 1.4 billion. Yet America, with just about less than a quarter of the population: 33.1 million cases and 588,000 deaths... 🤔

Isn't democracy literally (in part) the ability to speak up against things you disagree with, without government censorship? So both whoever was responsible for the sign and this senator (yes, really, my condolences) are participating in a democracy. If she wasn't allowed to speak up about it, that would be the dictatorship she seems to be confusing with communism.
cassiushumanmother 3 years ago
This always makes me laugh. I live in a communist city in France and i'm amazed how "communism" is still seen as the great red menace by a lot of people in USA. Basically in my city it's just more help for the person in need (school programs for failing kids, low cost trips, free public transportation for elderly people, free skate park and stuff like that) and less money spent on security cameras, rich neighborhoods christmas ornaments and shop marketing. No we don't live in shared buildings and we don't go to kolkhoze every morning.

That's not a very good sign though. You should get vaccinated even if you don't want to return to normal.
Julie C Rose 3 years ago
That logic was the backbone of New Zealand’s covid response. Obviously Jacinda herself and a lot of other people didn’t want mass death, but Jacinda also knew that people were worried about the economy and their freedom, so she explained how the lockdown would lessen the impact on the economy and allow us to have more freedom in the long term. I love that the US is now using it to appeal to those who want the restrictions to end.

One has to be careful. The more you hear or read about communism from those people the more you get the feeling it is a great thing. It is not. But they make it seem like it is. Hmmmm....

Do not take it serious) New conspiracy theory: Proud Americans are trying to promote communism through the backdoor, by advertising its benefits, thinly veiled by wording it as if they were bad things

Work at a butchers shop, and had a lady coming in wanting chicken to make soup. So I was like "oh we have these special soup parts!" (a 5 kg chicken chopped in 4 pieces). 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. She bought the chicken anyways and then stormed off yelling she would tell everyone how we are disgusting scammers. Lady, it just a piece of chicken
