I'm the op, and those aren't the types of comments I was referring to, fyi. :-) Criticism is fine (and needed. This show and these characters aren't perfect, after all). But you can generally tell when someone just hates her as a character and thinks every little thing she does or says is Bad and Wrong.
From what I've gathered from various comments around this meme, Karen is: an idiot, looking to get herself raped/killed, nosey, pushy, insensitive, obnoxious, naive, fetishizes Matt's blindness, is responsible for Ben's actions and his death, is friendzoning Foggy, etc etc etc.
Talk about double standards; I've yet to see so much vitriol aimed at any of the other characters (including the villains).
They forget/ignore the part where she's: kind, compassionate, determined, loyal, has a thirst for knowledge and justice, won't back down from a challenge, is a peacemaker, is a good friend, sticks up for herself, is trying to be brave in the face of some serious trauma, is protective, etc etc etc.
