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?
The meme is not about the specific person in the photo. You're not supposed to hate the specific person in the photo. It's about the type of person described in the text and the picture is just a stand-in for those people.
This type of Christian is very real and numerous and make service workers lives much harder. This meme, I believe, is by and for the people who are effected by their attitudes.
I think you might not enjoy the meme because you haven't had experience with this type of Christian. That's okay. Not every meme has to be for everyone. But please, don't let your takeaway be that we hate the specific woman in from the photo.
my take away was never hating person in photo (that part was just in case we are hating the person in photo, but my second para in the original comment is what i got - old relegious person is rude to service worker). I have not experienced it, so i can not relate, sorry.
It's not about being old. Or a women. Or a driver. Or white. This is about Christians and more widely religious hypocrisy. Christianity preaches tolerance, humility, not judging others, and yet these are the same people who gave trump the power. Objectively and according to the bible, this guy is the fucking antichrist: luxury, vanity, greed, adultery, etc. name a sin and he has made it an art of living. So yeah, fuck them all.
