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.

I thought 'Karens' were the ones that knelt before BLM because they would rather appease the terrorists rather than arm themselves against them.
Someone needs to up their meme game.
A ‘Karen’ WOULD be wearing a mask.
Karens arent generally conservative leaning.
A Karen is some white woman who makes a scene. It is a generic reference, there are conservative Karen’s and Progressive Karen’s.
Whoever generated this meme got things a bit messed up. Karen is the one in a mask screaming at anyone without a mask. My bet is a lefty generated this meme. Could have even been the company itself to get publicity.
That’s how you can always tell when a lib makes a meme; they get the message bass-ackwards every time because they can never keep their stereotypes straight. They need to get a refund on that liberal arts degree.

So go demand to speak to a manager.
Yep. The left stinks at memes.
Bingo. I never even heard of them till this thread.
That’s hilarious! They are missing a marketing opportunity.
Other doll makers will see that too.
Whoever copyrights the idea first ‘wins’!
Some merchandise is not meant to be taken that seriously.
It’s a goofy toy and nothing more. Eye candy.
Remember Trolls? They serve no purpose, but folks have been buying them in various colors since 1959.

I seriously ran into that exact Karen this past weekend.
She was wearing a mask.
She was insisting that everybody follow the One way arrows that the grocery store put on the aisle floors.
Who started this “Karen” thing? Millennials? Gen z? Who exactly is “Karen” supposed to be? A rich elitist liberal soccer mom?
they're insane
Funny
My wife walks backwards up aisles if she doesn’t want to ‘follow the arrows’. No one says a thing...
Hysterical!
haha. You’ve got the Karen mode down perfectly.
