A pejorative term used by naive Gen-Z to refer to someone who is now 40 years old and is tired of taking people's crap.
Karen: "I'd like to speak to the manager. I don't like X, Y, Z."
Gen-Z: "Sure, ma'am I'll be right back with manager." (fake smile)
Gen-Z in their head: "Goddamn, this woman is such a Karen. Stop complaining."
Karen in her head: "Listen you young cunt. I've been on this Earth for far too long and paid too many tax dollars and have had too many useless, selfish, people take advantage of me to deal with your shit. I've learned that if I don't make a big stink about things then nothing gets done and I'll fight for what's mine."
A lonely depressed person who loves managers and can't stand peace.
"Do you have a wristband?? No, you're gonna need a wristband to get in. No, no, you can't get in for free.. You know what? Get me your manager."
"Karen, this is a Wendy's drive-through. If you're not gonna order anything please move along, you're holding up the line."
A dead meme that has never been funny and is just used to make women feel bad about themselves, controlled, and self-conscious about having an opinion on anything. It's also depressing for girls named Karen who've had to change their names or move schools because of sick people who think using this term is ok.
The meme fell out of favor quickly when people realized their own moms were called Karens for no reason. When women were ruthlessly bullied on the internet because some jerk who wants clout filmed her and tried to portray her in a bad light when she was just trying to live her life. The realization that society hates middle-aged women for existing, women are judged harsher, and this rabid obsessive bullying has no regard for women's humanity from people who spend too much time online and hate women.
Pakistani-American writer, public speaker, and activist Sarah Haider calls the term a "term of abuse" and explains it is used in place of calling women misogynistic slurs and to get away with socially acceptable misogyny.
"The Karen archetype is just the most recent, millenial-sanctioned attempt to keep women in their place," writes Ahmed Pierstorff.
I hate when women defend themselves or even open their mouths, so I'm gonna shut her up and try to embarass her by calling her a Karen.
Even the most boring person on earth shouldn't be using the term Karen at this point. It's the most dead joke ever.
Diminutive of Katherine, Karen is a pretty, sweet, and warm name. Let Karens exist in peace.
