| I think “Karen” cuts across party lines - each side using it to refer to any woman doing something you don’t like. A Karen is in the eye of the beholder. |
I’m too lazy to post that “White Woman Tears” gif. Reap the whirlwind, Karen! |
Pot meet kettle. I enjoy calling out trolls. Not gonna lie. Especially trolls that show themselves so easily. You haven’t stopped fighting since you appeared and continue to think you are clever enough that your writing isn’t the same. And you post the same things over and over again all back to back. You want to claim Karen is an insult that shouldn’t be used, then why do you keep using it? Why do you keep ignoring that question? |
Why do you keep bringing up conservatives? Aren’t conservatives the ones usually called Karens? |
Because pp who is defending the use of Karen is a conservative. She also apparently doesn't care about misogyny. |
So you just label people conservatives you don’t like? Similar to how Karen is used. Got it. |
I posted about the meme being funny. I’m not reading all these pages of clucking to make a point. But consensus is that Karen is literally non-race specific, non-gender specific. Just a label for when you’re doing too much. By the way, I’m black, independent, and I don’t think OP was doing to much. I probably would have done the same thing she did, but not because I was afraid of being labeled as an angry black woman, but rather because I understand all of us are doing the best we can during the complicated and uncertain era. Please don’t assume that you are talking to one poster. I’ve posted only one other time, and it was to provide links of #Karen amongst the majority of the community that is trending the term (Gen Z, Y). White women were calling other women Karens, because it’s about being extra. We just call a racist a racist. I’m not giving racists any veiled cloaks to hide under. They have enough of those!

Amy Cooper is a racist and a conservative. But the word Karen is used for more than just these things. It's used to shut down any woman who dares to express an opinion that's uncomfortable to the beholder. |
Except she hinted she was a conservative and then didn't deny it despite being called it maybe 20 times. So there's that. |
I don’t think Karen is applied for speaking out. But if that is the case, our equivalent is the “angry black woman”. Or whites people calling us “ghetto”. |
+1. Amy is a racist. She isn’t a Karen. The Karen is yelling in the McDonald's line for gluten free hamburger buns. It can be a man, woman, CIS, gay, transgender, whatever. |
I don’t see anyone hinting at that. It seems you brought conservative into the conversation. So there’s that. |
Autocorrect needs to check itself before it wrecks itself. I typed white, not whites. |
Show me a non-white woman referred to as a "Karen." Racist. (and misogynist, but PP agrees with that) |
I’ll go tell Twitter and IG. They seem to think Amy is not only racist but, also a Karen. |
