What is known

Found image supplied for The Shadow Zone: a two-row comparison meme using the same anime still twice, a dark-haired woman in a fishnet top with a stern, unimpressed look. The rows read "Girls that grew up without a father" and "Boys that grew up without a father," and the identical image in both is the punchline. The caption's generalization is reproduced as found and not endorsed. The source series and character are unverified. Maker, origin, and date are not recorded. The exif scrub reported no location metadata to strip.
