Am I missing something or are you making fun of this person in your head and assuming that’s what’s going on? I just saw “lady opens box, tiny exploited people inside”.
I’m sure I’m just missing a bit of media or meme context. Can you explain?

Dont really know if we need to make fun of peoples appearance just for the sake of it even if their photo was used by “the evil megacorp” in an ad. better to keep this contained to facebook and reddit.

The characters are from attack on titan, there are multiple scenes where titans ( big creatures with a lot of times very weird facial expressions) look down on the humanss and then proceed killing them. I think this meme references that. I watched some of the show years ago so this would be my interpretation of the meme so yea making fun of the women on the top as the titan creatures look very hideous?

I just went to check it out. I don’t think she looks anything like a titan, but Amazon sure fits the description of a titan. I still think the interpretation that the meme is making fun of this woman’s looks, is severely reaching, but thank you very much for the explanation.

How is it reaching? The woman is in the position where a titan would be. So all this “meme” says to me is: “look this person looks like a titan”.

Wouldn’t this meme have been funny weather it was a women in the photo or a conventionally attractive man doing a very saccharine smile?

I don’t understand what you are asking. Can you please explain?

That we are pointing out that the lady in the meme is not conventionally attractive, when we don’t really need to.
Maybe we all feel collectively uncomfortable that we recognise that she is conventionally unattractive which leads to feeling cognitive dissonance, and end up expressing it as concern for her or outrage that she’s being used in a meme? When the crux of the joke may not really be her appearance, but rather the premise, someone peering into a box with a saccharine smile, photographed from an awkward angle inside the box itself.
I think the meme is funny regardless of who is portrayed as the ‘titan’.

Yeah this post is kinda gross
The photo feels like slop though? so hopefully it’s at least not a specific person. Doesn’t make it okay
