I am not religious, and I am not old, but this does not sit right with me. I don't know who the person in photo is, but we are "hating" on them just because they look old?
I understand it is a "meme" and i should laugh at "stereotypical karen" but is not that one of the things that people state they disliked about reddit?
I can only speak from my own experiences, so I don't know if this happens in other countries, but in the US, this is a very specific kind of Christian.
I used to work retail with a very religious old lady who was excommunicated from the Catholic church because her husband divorced her (he divorced her, not the other way around, and she was the one who was punished, but that's a different absurd topic) and this meme would describe her brother, who she talked about with absolute vitriol.
She would describe him as acting like he was a saint despite partaking in every vice you can imagine and being a complete asshole to everybody around him during the week, all because he went to church every Sunday and therefore that made him a good Christian.
These are a particular kind of holier-than-thou person who expect the world to bend to their whim because of the number of times that they've circled the sun on this rock we call Earth and believe that they have the right to treat service staff like trash in the way that royalty treated their servants.
I am sorry for your experience, but generalisation is what i did not like. I am not in us, or a place where christianity is the major relegion. The behaviour may be region specific, but still, this seems wierd to me.
No worries, my point was that this is actually not a generalization, but about a very specific type of person. People, especially those who work in restaurants in the US, would see this and know exactly the person that this is about. They've all seen at least a few of them and could probably call them out by name.
