Owning a home in America is tough as hell. Not only are operating costs soaring as many people in parts of the country give up their banking lives just to buy a house, but keeping that house is a whole different story. Property taxes go up every year and if you don’t pay them? Guess what? Banks buy your debt and take ownership of your home.
It’s a pretty disgusting arrangement that once again puts the interests of American corporations before private individuals, and when dealing with this hostile alliance isn’t enough, then you have to deal with nosy neighbors and homeowner associations who have nothing better to do with their lives than to fit into your existence. Like this now viral Tigger flag TikTok.
What is the Tigger flag TikTok about?
If you make a list of obnoxious cartoon characters, it will likely not contain a single entry from the Winnie the Pooh series. Except maybe Christopher Robin – he always seemed way too arrogant for a child to play with imaginary stuffed animals.
But the cute and cuddly Disney creatures aren’t exactly what would be considered threatening unless you are that neighborhood “Karen” who has a problem with them.

A now viral TikTok is circulating on the popular social media platform that shows Karen addressing her neighbor and asking her to take down a Tigger flag that she hung in front of her house. She calls the decorative piece “sticky” in the conversation recorded by the ring doorbell, which was then uploaded by TikTok user @ tizzybizzy92.

The clip has been viewed well over 10 million times, likely out of our species’ collective love of witness and “little” behavior.
Many commentators also expressed that the neighborhood “Karen”, who happened to be a white woman, may have been racially motivated to call her black neighbor about her exterior design decisions.

The Karen in question begins to rave about neighborhood “rules” that may forbid one from displaying a flag on one’s property that Tigger is showing. “I don’t want to have to find out what they are, but I don’t like that,” says the woman.
She continues: “I don’t like [it]. It makes it sticky. That makes the neighborhood look cheesy. “

The woman who hoisted the flag of the springy cat Ambrosia contradicts the Karen in the video: “Don’t do it. But that’s okay, you have a right to your opinion.”
Before leaving, the Karen says she will look more closely at local regulations that would prevent anyone from hoisting a cartoon character flag on their property.
