The manufacturer of the popular American Girl dolls says it is “disgusted” by an online parody that depicted one of its toys as a gun-toting white doll named Karen who refuses to wear a face mask while shopping during the coronavirus pandemic.
American Girl, which makes 18-inch dolls portraying female youngsters, responded to the fake image last week after it was posted to Facebook and went viral on other platforms.
“I saw a post of an American Girl doll, Karen, who refuses to wear a mask and carried a gun as disgusting,” a Twitter user wrote the Wisconsin-based company. “Is this what we want to teach our children?”
Hours later, company reps responded to the woman, saying they had nothing to do with the posting and that they were also offended by what they saw.
“Donna, we were equally disgusted with this post,” the company tweeted Wednesday. “Please be assured we are taking the appropriate steps to ensure this is removed.”

Genius!
I followed the arrows until I noticed that absolutely nobody was following the arrows.
Then I just embraced the pandemonium.
I am sick of hearing that word, imagine using the name la keisha to describe a black woman who rants all the time? Oh that would be racist
If you have the skill; you can ‘moonwalk’ against the arrows...good for some looks from other patrons.
Do not understand the one way crap in a store. So I can pass a person going the same way and I will not get this flu strain, but if I go the opposite direction passed a person I will catch this flu.
This country has gone insane, wear a mask do not wear a mask, touch something you get it touch something you do not get it. My dog can give it to me my dog now cannot give it to me.
I hope you said, "Thanks Karen!"
Like I said imagine using the term lakeisha for a black angry , fat woman. The left would call you racist
No, KARENS are the sanctimonious snitches who ALWAYS wear a mask and shame any who might not be!
Actually, they generally prefer to hole up at home rather than daring to go out in public, and tell all on FB and NextDoor that they should be ashamed of endangering vulnerables by doing so.
It’s black anti white slang. So cool to see whites adopting self basement.
They’re overwhelmingly leftist busybodies. Conservatives are much less inclined to assume they have the right to order strangers around.
“Donna is disgusted, and she’d like to speak to a manager...”
Sounds like American Girl is named Karen.
I just did a brief moment of silence for the gal’s husband.
In any cases, a REAL “Karen” is the LOUD-mouthed/annoying woman who criticizes others for doing the same things that she feels entitled to do. = HYPOCRITE is an appropriate one-word description of a wealthy Karen.
In my experience, a “REAL KAREN”
1. may be carrying a pistol in her purse BUT she doesn’t want anyone else to have one.
2. rants about people who don’t send their children to public school BUT sends her kids to expensive private schools.
3. drives a BIG Cadillac SUV but wants “low class people” to drive a small car.
4. rants about people “not helping the poor” but pays her maid below minimum wage.
5. gets “sloshed” at the country club 3-4 afternoons each week with her GF but wants all the bars closed, “to avoid spreading the virus’
and
6. Constantly complains “to the city fathers” about people smoking cigarettes in public but smokes marijuana & abuses prescription drugs herself.
(YES, I know all too many “Karens”, as I was once the City Marshal of a “upper class” small suburban town.)
