Good women are young, quiet, have pretty long hair (never dyed a unnatural colour though!) and never speak up about being mistreated, ever. You want to complain about a genuine problem? Sorry, you’re a Karen. Ask people to social distance? Karen. Nicely tell people to please be quiet during a movie? Karen. Ripped off by corporate greed and want a refund? Karen.
Be silent, be feminine and behave, woman.
It sucks because it actually used to describe real harrassment that black service workers experience. Now it’s just “Mouthy mom aged women with short dyed hair”
I’ve even seen a male black service worker be called a “male Karen” I shit you not.
Wtf?
I never heard of this use, and mostly I and everyone else still uses it as an acronyme for a mix of „Choosing beggar, racist fuck, and generally someone who has a stick up their ass so far they feel the need to enforce every tinyest rule“
That’s fine, but out in the wild, I see a lot of usage that’s synonymous with “bitch”. The definition was never going to remain precise once the Internet got a hold of it.
the first whispers of “karen” back in 2017ish just adhere to the mantra of “never insult honkie males”
honkie females is the furthest they’ll go
