The Karen meme silences White women

OP did not feel free to use her voice, except anonymously on DCUM. And then a ton of posters told her to STFU.

The rest of us are anonymous here, and that makes a lot of difference.

Case in point, OP's "smoothie silence." If that's anywhere close to the most horrible thing she's experienced regarding staying quiet... all it does is help to point out the value in Karen memes as a necessity to temper some ladies.

Silencing OP

You are confusing an internet discussion board thread with the real life experience of being silenced. (We don't know who is actually posting here.)

OP said she didn't say anything because she was afraid of being labeled a Karen. She silenced herself.

Have you read the other posts here? There's a reason OP silenced herself. That didn't come out of nowhere.

It intimates because middle aged women are no longer sexy, that their use to society is gone and therefore they should shut up and become invisible when they already essentially are.

Young women using this term: Beware. One day, you too will be a Karen. Unless you die young it is your destiny to be a Karen so I would make this term die if I was you.

Agree

Agree

I’m not sure. I don’t see 20yos ask to speak to the manager as much as middle-aged women. And I’m middle-aged (41).

Maybe 20yos should be asking to speak to the manager as often as 40yros. When it’s appropriate and necessary, of course.

What's the problem with using the gender-neutral term racist if that's the behavior you want to call out?

+1. Plus, $10 gets you $1 that pp started the other thread. And she was being so cute, she could only find middle-aged where women acting badly. I guess no white men, or anybody else, ever acted badly on the inter webs.

If you are this upset with white women being called out, then go find the videos of white men and post them. Someone quickly posted about the cyclist in Bethesda.

I’m the OP of the two women thread and not the people you are conversing with.

Your problem is that you can’t fathom that Karen’s are collectively going nuts across the country and being filmed everyday of the week now. I didn’t go searching for those two women, they’re trending twitter. And I’m sure another one will show up on Monday.

I posted some more on that other thread.

Look, lots of people deserve to be called out. But implying that it's just middle-aged white women is ridiculous.
