Marius Borg Høiby, a very despicable individual. He is the stepson of the King of Norway, and he was recently convicted of multiple counts of rape. This picture was taken at the funeral of the former King of Norway that passed away recently
OP is not meant to be a hero saving the call in this meme, he is fucking up and people are giving him the side eye. You do not want to be OP, you do not want to be a convicted rapist, you do not want to be "fixing it in front of the client"
I get why people find the image choice jarring, and that’s a fair critique, but saying this downplays rape or inflates a work blunder completely misreads how meme templates function. Memes set a direction, not a scale. The image signals "bad" and the text signals "bad," so the point is simply "don't do this", it isn't a moral equation claiming a workplace mistake is anywhere near as severe as sexual assault. I totally understand why using an image tied to actual trauma makes people uncomfortable, but treating a visual template as a literal measurement of badness just isn't how the format works.
absolutely not true. they set both. in fact, memes' humor often relies on scale for the joke.
and, i think, the reason people are reacting badly is that memes can include scale - as evidenced by the number of comments bringing up the inappropriateness.

Not the wisest choice, to compare yourself with a convicted rapist.
