I started seeing it pop up as just joking situations involving a fictional, made-up divorced wife for that Harold meme. Commonly saying stuff like, "Karen took the kids." "Goddamnit Karen" "Karen took everything in the divorce" etc. And somehow... it blew up from there because while fun to use a random name for a fictional situation as a joke post, nobody on the internet has any imagination and instead of using a name at random, they just kept using the name "Karen" over and over for these kinds of posts, and eventually, it just started being used as a negative term just in general. But it's pretty stupid and nonsensical. I saw a post citing how the name "Karen" had been used less often for newborns recently, and everyone was celebrating that there were now "less Karens in the world".
Just admit you have no idea about the origin.
