    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?

      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”.

            Because it is an ad that represents Amazon and Amazon acts like a titan? That’s not even her smile. It’s the grimace the ad agency put on her. That’s amazon’s smile.

            How does she look like a Titan? Titans don’t have anything resembling her features.

              Im fairly certain the person is supposed to be a customer opening a package that was delivered by amazon. Not really sure what you are getting at here. As for her face, yes they probably put makeup on her and did her hair, but I dont think they put in the effort to edit her teeth for a short video ad. (I admit that I could be wrong though. I dont know anything about video editing and from this screenshot its not possible to tell).

              And as the other user already pointed out: there are tons of scenes where we see the titans looking down and showing their teeth from the perspective of humans. Many even in a similar angle. Im very sure that the person who made this meme was reminded of this when viewing the ad. Thats why we have characters from AOT in the second panel. And thats why my interpretation is that whoever made the meme wanted to say that that the woman reminds them of a titan. We can disagree on this if you want to but please dont put words in my mouth saying that im subconsiously(if thats what you meant?) making fun of someone, when im pointing out that its not great to say someone looks like a titan(again my interpretation and we can disagree on this but i think i gave enough reasons to justify how i understood the meme).
