The “Karen” meme is back, and it’s funnier than ever.
The 2020 Tokyo Olympics are currently well underway but that doesn’t stop the fact that people are already talking about the 2024 games. The next cycle of the Olympics is set to be held in Paris, and while the logo was released back in October 2019, fans can’t help but roast the design again.
The logo is very reminiscent of the “Karen” meme — a Caucasian woman with a short haircut who always “needs to speak to the manager.” The Parisian emblem is meant to depict three symbols: the Olympic flame, a gold medal and the hair and lips of Marianne, the personification of France since the 1789 revolution. She represents liberty, equality and fraternity.
This week, in the midst of the 2020 Olympic Games, jokes about the logo resurfaced on social media. “Feels like a good time to remind the timeline that Paris 2024 had literally the perfect logo that represented the number 24 and the Eiffel Tower, and then bombed it off for a logo that looks like a dating app for middle-aged women who yell at baristas,” one user tweeted alongside two of the emblem designs.
