In case I'm not contrarian enough, here goes: Karen is a hero.
Karen wants to speak to the manager. That's what defines Karen.
She doesn't want to berate some poor clerk at the register; she knows that poor 17-year-old kid has no authority. She's not going to swipe something because she feels self-justified in doing so. She's not going to get revenge by taking a crap on the heater in the bathroom. She feels, rightly or wrongly, that she has been screwed over and she demands that she be treated as a human being by a human being who is empowered to do more than stick to a script.
The Karen meme isn't defending some poor under-payed sales clerk, or exposing some white privilege. It's a rear-guard action by nameless corporations aimed at villainizing middle-aged white folk who maybe still do feel like they have the clout to be treated as human beings. That's right: clout, non entitlement.
God Bless Karen! May an army of insurrectionists Karens storm the hallways of corporate headquarters from coast to coast!
I know “Karen”, God bless her because shes going to hell.
Karen is a bitch!
Noted, Karen.
I get your point but...riddle me this:
Does Karen want to speak to Xiden, Kamalala, Nanzi, Chucky, or Dr. Fasci?
My thoughts exactly.
Release the Karen?
Karen doesn’t F around. She goes straight at the head honcho.
Fellas! You’re gonna want more Karen!
‘Karen’ is likely a raving liberal Demonrat.
Conservative women are much nicer and more circumspect.
I think we’re gonna get more Karen whether we want it or not!
Karens are not heroes, they are prime examples of how successful government is at propagandizing the society with fear and gult and whatever else they are peddling.
Karenas are authoritarian self-centered ragers.
Karens are only in it for Karen.
If THE Bruce Dickinson says we need more Karen, I think we should give him more Karen!
Karens are the stasi’s best friends.
Karens cannot abide people living their lives and making diferent choices than they do.
Karens would not like everyone else being Karens to them for whatever they belive Karen isnt doing correctly.
Man does not want to go there.
“under-payed”
Seriesly?
I’ve “karened” before by seeing the manager. Being screwed at a hotel or restaurant doesn’t sit well with me and I would defy anyone is more conservative than me. Complaining about being treated poorly or dealing with bad customer service doesn’t automatically make you a Karen.
I dunno about this one, my 1st gf was named Karen. Saw her 25 years later, wanted to run away screaming! Yaaagh! Shuddering, counting escape blessings...
Never mind “villianizing”.
People butcher the language on the net, then others pick it up and the butchery spreads like wildfire.
(I also hate the misuse of “concerning”. Would never hear this stupidity 20 years ago but now all the talking heads are saying it. Good God.)
And I wasn’t quite sure what was being pointed out anyway!
