The term “Karen” refers to an unnecessarily complaining woman (usually white). I haven’t seen it refer to a decent woman who is rebuking genuinely bad behavvior, although some people may abuse it that way. There was even a haircut referred to as “the Karen” which was one of those short, new-wave, feminist, pseudo-lesbian looking haircuts that no reasonable woman would have.
“Chad” is actually a term of respect. He’s the guy that doesn’t give a damn about your silly feelings and doesn’t tolerate your BS.
“Becky” on the other hand, IS a racist term against white women, usually by blacks against young attractive white women.
Chad, Brad, Steve, whatever they are labeling white males they are trying to make “Karens”.
Suddenly the media rediscovered very white sounding names and are using them to shut-up primarily white women and also white males in public, making them self-conscious and timid, similar to the goals of creating the concepts of “Mansplaining” and “Manspreading”.
It is about making whites fade into the background in public and want to avoid being mocked, there are a lot of new approaches being created to make whites appear as foolish, bumbling, mean, petty, inconsequential and rather bizarre and annoying when compared to the new America of non-whites and the new population replacing them.
As this suggestion for the name Darren demonstrates. “Personally I call them “Darrens”, since Darren is a name that I associate with middle-aged white men, who often act all privileged, you name it. Darren is also an unattractive name for any man below age 30- It’s getting outdated for sure. And above all, Darren rhymes with Karen!”
