For example is Karen-

A. Doesn’t wear a mask and bitches on FaceSpace because “muh freedom”

Or

B. Wears masks and pepper sprays those who don’t because “we’re all in this together” and “muh new normal”

Or

C. All of the above

Or

D. None of the above (please fill in correct answer below.)


Thanks and hang up and listen

Karen is just an entitled person that shows her arse in public by throwing a ridiculous tantrum. It could be about any topic and on any side of an issue.

I think it’s just a derogatory term that the left and right has now began to throw at each other without realizing they are both using it totally opposite

Karen is the lady who blindly listens to and believes everything she hears about Covid 19. You know, because the governor or Dr. Fauci or somebody in the media said it. She thinks that what you do is her business, and feels like she has the right to police you if you fall out of line. Even if it means yelling at you or macing you or whatever.

No. It's that some people are confused about what it stands for, so they just apply it to everything (erroneously). It's a simple concept. Some people are not that smart though and don't get it.

It's kind of like how you see on here the WYHI threads. People don't get that concept either.

It's like watching an old man or lady trying to use terminology because they think it makes them look hip, even though people are snickering at them because they are obviously misusing it.

Karen is a pejorative term used in the United States and other English-speaking countries for a woman perceived as entitled or demanding beyond the scope of what is appropriate or necessary. A common stereotype is that of a white woman who uses her privilege to demand her own way at the expense of others.


Sorry you don't get it either.

People who are pro corona shutdowns, mandates, etc., try to use it to mean option A. The other day I heard a sports radio guy say the south is full of “mask shaming Karens.” But a middle aged white lady with the Karen cut that is always bitching on Facebook and asking to speak to managers at places is way more likely to be bitching about people “not taking corona seriously” etc rather than the way he used it.

Karen is B.

They are limousine liberals in the body of a 40-50 something year old suburban woman with a ridiculous haircut.

They know more than you, they are better than you, and it is their purpose on this planet to let you and everyone else know the first points I made in this sentence are true to their fullest extent.
