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.

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.

Gosh, just tell the child it's a penis. What's so bad about that? My son knew everything about boys and girls, how babys are born and what menstruation is by the age of 4.
You are a great parent for teaching your children about human reproduction which some people don't know even after becoming adult because no one told them!
Load More Replies...Zookeepers who keep animals with proper body functions must be jailed.(sarcasm intended)
Load More Replies...An elephant is perfectly capable of handling the situation by himself if he wants to. I wonder how she would explain THAT to her daughter 🤣
....same as daddy, sweetheart, but there's big and small, gray and pink?,let's go for the parrots
Load More Replies...I've never seen anyone so concerned about the sexual wellness of elephants. Does he expects them to have 'daily milking sessions' just so they get relief or...?
how the hell would you "relieve" an elephant ? their bits are huge , it'd be a two man job for sure and maybe the staff don't have time to pleasure elephants to save your blushes , ohh and PS grow the fck up
Maybe the zoo keepers should put a pair of trunks on the elephant. LOL
so she'd rather see someone w**king off and elephant, than an elephants erection? really? ok then!
So you take your kid to the zoo to see wild animals and then get butt hurt that the animals actually look like animals, and well behave like f*****g animals?! Seriously grow up and if you can't find a way to handle your child's question about something like this a. Don't have children and/or b. Stay home! If you don't make a huge deal out of it (hehe) then neither will your kid.
I spewed coffee over "If you don't make a huge deal out of it (hehe)"! You made my day.
Load More Replies...Just wow. I feel for that kids when she's older and her parents won't deal with sex ed either.
Exactly! These are the type of parents who rage about sex Ed in school and just leave their kids to figure out all the facts of life alone. Then they can't understand why their kids pregnant at an extremely young age or they disown her for becoming pregnant. I know that's not always the case but it happens a lot! It's so sad.
Load More Replies...Technically, this is an actual job people have, though it is done to collect samples for insemination, not to "relieve" the animal.
Load More Replies...We saw two elephants mating at the San Diego zoo (or maybe it was the safari park?). It was nice to know they felt comfortable enough in their zoo home to do that. Then the next year there was a baby elephant!
And now a Karen is attacing animals in the zoo! Had she run out of people to insult? Stay home you fruit fly. And leave people and animals alone for a change. You are unbelievably stupid even on the Karen scale!
Wouldn't that just make it a more regular occurrence? Or does the poster find he gets long-term relief from his 'condition'?
I do wonder how said Karen would have reacted if the zookeepers had gone in and given them a helping hand in front of her 3 year old...
Did he really just say the staff were supposed to jack off the elephants?!?
Does she know male mammals can get an erection not too long after....reliving themselves, it isn't a one time thing.
Why exactly was she surprised that a male ELEPHANT had an enormous erection? What was she expecting? Speaking for the largest land animal on earth. Just sayin'
I use to work with an Asian elephant named Tommy. Every once in a while he would get that frisky feeling and he used his thing (which was the size of a fence post) to scratch his tummy. I think he was scratching his tummy.....
I don't know about elephants, but I know male horses will extend it and smack their bellies with it as a means of relieving themselves. I suspect it would be the same for an elephant.
Load More Replies...Once at the Mystic aquarium the white beluga whale was flashing his penis at the glass window to its tank. The audience stared, mesmerized. There families chatting until a little kid yelled out "look it's having a baby!" Ask the adults steps back from the window and the audience fell Dead Silent while the kids argued about what they were seeing.
I was at Sea World many many years ago and the elephant show was running very behind schedule. When they finally did start bringing the elephants out we all understood why there had been a delay. One of the elephant's had his penis dragging on the ground as he walked out! Just like the story above, a little three year old girl behind us asked her mom what it was! Also, the young woman walking the elephant out just kept her eyes down and didn't look at the audiance until the 6" long penis had finally retracted!!
If she can't handle a three year old's questions she's in for a shock when that child is preadolescent.
How dare animals be animals. grumble grumble grumble. Cant humans fix this? rabble rabble rabble
Or you could keep that 3 year old in a box for the rest of her life, and she'd NEVER be asking about erections! (/s). Just imagine, the beauty and purity of a woman who has never seen any genitalia other than her own- including that of any animal! "Can we get a puppy?" "No dear, it has dirty parts" "But why are they dirty?" "Because we are protecting your virtue my dear". Gah. I just don't understand how body parts somehow became "sinful". Do people honestly pretend their own don't exist or something?? Your kid saw an elephant d**k. Not a dead body.
They became sinful the same way Jewish people became history's punching bags. Insane religious people.
Load More Replies...It's not hard to educate your child in the way they can understand. Sex, hard ons, genitals, etc are literally a part of life.
Animals doing natural things, at a zoo no less! Who would've thought. Perhaps Mr Stupid should just explain what's going on. He's probably against sex education too.
It's an animal. Let it be. It can't help something that is completely natural. If it traumatised your kid then I dunno.. Stay away from all animals!?
Something tells me she is talking about the elephant's trunk, not his penis. That is a Karen thing to do.
Just how does this bird brained pathetic excuse of an ape expect people to "handle this" situation...If its so easy why don't you go in there and help...after all your a Karen, your word is law.
How does this bird brained pathetic excuse of an ape think people are supposed to handle this situation...just HOW!
Go on Karen, s*ck that Dumbo d*ck! Or how else do you relieve an Elephant? 😂😂😂
If you bring kids to a zoo with animals, you must be prepared to seeing them stuff that's natural to all creatures. They mate, they fart, they poop and they have erections. If you can't deal with it, don't visit. Or you can apply for the job to 'relieve' these elephants in whatever way you thought they should be relieved.
Hmmm, just tell her what it is? your going to have too a some point. easier while they are younger. Plus kids don't care, telling her its his w***y isn't going to turn her into a sex pest.
So the stuff are supposed to masturbate the elephants so you don't need to explain your children basic natural things, good for you. You could have told her the elephant grew another trunk! Duh
You could just tell your daughter what a penis is or lie? Why is this anyone elses problem?
I was babysitting, took the kid to the zoo. The chimps Butts were huge and red. Kid asked why. I told him. All the other parents grabbed their kids and ran away. Another zoo, some animals were enjoying themselves. My kids and I discussed the apparent design flaw of being semi-aquatic so the male seemed to be drowning the female. As we walked away I passed a couple in theirs 20s, I pointed behind me and said "Pygmy hippos mating" and they RAN to see it.
I like the reasonable 'maybe' in the last sentence. Like, maybe she would still be asking about them. Kids are unpredictable.
So Karen you want a job? Need to suck off the elephant every couple days .....your mouth seems to be big enough .......
dude she's allowed to know what a penis is. How can you expect to raise your child to be afraid to learn about sexual education? I kno she's only three but if you keep up the idea that some things are forbidden to look at or learn about. When she gets older she's gonna be a lot more uncomfortable learning things. Healthy bodies are important you kno? If this keeps up, they're going to be afraid to ask questions. Just be like "thats a penis it means he's a boy." Also thats a super creepy thing to say out loud "YALL NEED TO JACK OFF THIS GUY AND TO BE SAFE EVERY OTHER ANIMAL HERE. DONT YOU HAVE ANY RESPECT? LOOK AT HIM!" see THATS the creepy part. Leave the guy alone and go watch the lions. Careful....the ones with manes have penis too.
Thats mild compared to my trip to the zoo. Nearly EVERY exhibit had animals going at it xD it was funny seeing parents haul their little ones away at break neck speed
I have no words ... other than ... that's a two man job and social distancing does not allow such close proximity
Imagine if she got word that they were abusing the elephants by "doing the thing" for them. She'd probably start a petition to close down the zoo for animal abuse.
You are offended because of Nature? If you didn't want her to see that enormous erection, take her to another display.
I would love to meet this lady one day and have a deep and meaningful convo about the birds, bees and elephants...
How about educating your daughter? Or at least coming up with a good distraction.
Cos animals are supposed to be cute and cuddly and sexless, like in the cartoons
How would you even advertise for that position? Wanted: Individual with large hands, strong arms and a great deal of stamina, to care for the Elephants at the Zoo. Daily tasks will include, but not be limited to the feeding, bathing and grooming of the Elephants, as well as their occasional masturbation. Experience is a plus, but is not necessary, as full training will be provided.
Aah yes all they have to do is jerk them off once a day right?
Definitely don’t let your child ever see a blue whale. Their penis is 10 FEET LONG 😆
it's just an elephant looking for love it's an elephant they are huge they could crush a house that's an exaggeration what do you expect
Do you think the zoo brain controls the animals? And it's an elephant, its gonna be bigger. Sorry to break it to ya
Her husband convinced he has to be RELIEVED when he has an erection.
"I'm sorry. I don't have the authority to work at such a high level in my job Ma'am."
Fails to realize the elephant clearly finds his daughter sexually attractive....
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.”

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 went to pay for some items I wanted to purchase at a museum store. As I took out my cash, the gentleman at he register asked me to please use a card, since they couldn't safely disinfect cash. I apologized and told him that I was sure that I was told that and I had simply forgotten. As I took out my card, I apologized again and said, " I'm sure that you get enough "Karens" in here, I would hate to be another one!" The look of sheer joy on his face was priceless! I like to think that we had made each others' day at that moment.
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
She didnt even want the cut apart chicken, anyway. She sounds like she needs a chill pill

I've got a theory, and hear me out, people who claim they can't wear a mask just can't stand the smell of their own breath.
I actually just got some disposable masks (kids size) and I was kinda really happy to get them because they were going to fit properly. Now here’s the odd part. They don’t smell good. It’s not like a plastic smell. I can’t even identify it. Can still wear them. Just think it’s bizarre.
