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.

    The Karen meme was actually started by the Myanmar coup government to gain support for its ethnic cleansing campaigns against ethic groups including the Karen. But the westerners riled up by this psyop didn’t know about the demographics of myanmar and created a lore around a certain type of white woman that they would focus the anger the psyop instilled in them on.
