Reaction images I’ve grown to hate:

-the “stupid hat guy” image where someone makes up an exaggerated strawman caricature of an opinion to illustrate a point about how bad the opinion is, and then someone comes along expressing basically exactly the same opinion as that exaggerated caricature

(It’s not a wholly inaccurate point, but almost every time I’ve seen it used, the response being mocked as a “strawman-come-to-life” opinion was actually “obvious joke/sarcasm,” or “obvious ragebait troll,” or “actually a decent point that’s significantly different from the exaggerated caricature,” or “actually fully agreeing with OP but with slightly awkward wording that got misinterpreted as saying the opposite”)

- That screenshot of that one post about how it’s so much better to draw a picture of a stranger you saw in public than to take a photo without consent

(drawing a stranger without consent is also creepy– and also, if I’ve gone all-out being creepy and put in the work sitting there with my pencils and sketch pad for twenty minutes creepily drawing the guy in a weird outfit on the bus, I am gonna be PISSED if the best thing you can ever think to say about my backbreaking artistic creep-labor is just to screenshot someone else from a totally unrelated post saying “thank god it isn’t a photograph”)
