Karen’, a main character in pop culture, is now officially a real main character in an upcoming movie.
Video clips of white women being racist and disturbing the public have popped up all across the country, with this type of person being dubbed a ‘Karen.’
It’s become such a common label, that the name dropped in popularity for newborns in 2020.
that, a chaotic moment in an otherwise normal day, the movie trailer shows what can happen from prolonged exposure to a ‘Karen’ who has deep dark motives. And people aren’t excited about it.
No one asked for a movie about a murderous Karen,” one Twitter user wrote.
The movie is described as a thriller and stars Taryn Manning of ‘Orange is the New Black’ fame playing the titular character.
The trailer starts with Karen displaying multiple microaggressions, like pointing out that her new neighbors are a Black couple, threatening them that she will go to the manager if they don’t quiet down at a restaurant, and installing several security cameras aimed at the couple’s home.
But the couple, played by Cory Hardrict and Jasmine Burke, aren’t Karen’s only targets. And her behavior gets really dark, really fast.
The internet is not impressed, nor terrified.
Many Twitter users compared it to an SNL skit or some kind of parody.
meme, and even less thrilled by the movie’s name.
Now I’ve seen everything. 😳
There’s a horror / thriller movie coming out this year called Karen. 😱
Thanks, Hollywood. 😒

— Karen Freberg • #SMprof • Author • Consultant (@kfreberg) June 22, 2021 The movie doesn’t shy away from its meme inspiration.
“Wait, we have a white entitled neighbor named… Karen?” Burke’s character, Imani, says.
Some people feel it’s a bit too on-the-nose. “It’s like someone took every woke stereotype and fear-mongering about race relations and put it into a blender without nuance or subtlety,” another Twitter user said.
The full movie will be available to watch in September 2021.
So...a standard Disney script? :)
Karen isn’t racist, she just wants to talk to the manager.
More leftist appropriation. Woke was the term used to define tea party folks.
They took that too.
I saw a movie called, “Luca” with my family. It was sweet, funny and had no agenda. Surprisingly it was a disney/pixar film. I really enjoyed it and can’t wait for it to come out on dvd.
Can’t wait for Kenisha to come out as a movie.
Weed Karens are the worst.
Woke started in the 1940’s by African Americans, Karen was just used for “white woman” in general by black people. Both have been coopted a few times over. To be fair
Don’t hold your breath. LOL!
It’s that thing where both white lower class conservatives and black people have the same hatred for rich suburban entitled white women (or Karens) and don’t realize they are on the same side ha
Waffle House, IHOP, Chuckie Cheese,...
The only warning to be gleaned from Sharknado is the pointlessness of giving a few hundred thousand $ to Asylum Films.
There are levels.
“Karen” is an obnoxious, middle-aged liberal white woman.
“Brandy” is the younger obnoxious liberal white woman who became a paid protester in university. She typically has tattoos and claims to not want children.
And Tiffany, still doesn’t have a clue.
But she get a good workout on the pole at the club!
Calling black women who wave their hands and waggle their necks at white men and cops "Shanequas" would not receive equal treatment.
I STILL think it is a meme for mask nazis.
We used to call them JAPs or ‘Jewish American Princesses”.
meme > name
DVD? What on Earth is that? Lol.
Karens are more likely to be killed because they are so annoying than to be killers. But Hollywood wants to exploit the success of “Get Out” with Blacks as victims of crazed Whites. I’m also reminded of “Arlington Road,” where the domestic terrorist is brilliant and the FBI agent is the innocent prey. Tim McVeigh types may be diabolical but definitely not geniuses.
Right? This is sort of like trashing people who speak well, have an education. Trashing people because they expect good service or they expect people to behave themselves in public or obey the law or the rules of their community? I know people think someone like that can get on their nerves but in the end this whole Karen thing started in black pop culture to trash white women for actually standing up for themselves when a black person’s being aggressive or rude. The fact of the matter is black people think they can do and say whatever they want in this country and no one supposed to stand up to them or call them out on anything.
” Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood” is less racist than this garbage. At least it was ‘funny.
