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. 😒

“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.
Yep.
Truth.
My first thought of a movie about “Karen” is the scene late in Pee Wee’s Big Adventure where the Warner Brothers studio head says seriously:
“Pee Wee, the American people need to see your story. We need to tell it on film.”
Exactly. We’d have hundreds of hours of film depicting feral she boons in their natural state.

they are truly the ones who are entitled, and act like violent toddlers when anyone pushes back on their anti social behavior.
Almost nobody watches MTV or Kimmel or the Daily Show. I’m talking about in real life.
Those Karens are correct. Good luck with the poison injection.
