Current Events > Why has a sexist and misogynist meme become so acceptable?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Because

Lol

nicer than calling them what they'd be called otherwise

A bitch

I was wondering that as well. Its a derogatory name meant to insult someone. Sounds like the very racist slur that the people who use it are trying to combat.

Hmmmm

---

Idk wtf they talking about "misogynistic" because if youre being a douchebag people will call you out for it. All the women I know despise people who are "Karens". Has nothing to do with sexism, if youre a pos prepared to be called out on being a pos.

---

Oh shut the fuck up.

Learn to laugh. I consider myself somewhat liberal but this is the shit that does so much damage.

So you can call someone a slur because of their appearance then as well? That seems okay to you apparently

It's a derogatory name meant to insult specifically white women. It is also racist.

Imagine if it became a mainstream meme to call black women a specific name.

You just have to own it. People care way too much what idiots online think and say. Sucks that this chick caved and couldn't just shrug people off. Then she had to tell everyone to look at her while she did it....what exactly is her goal?

She also looks like someone who gets offended easily. Which is a funny accusation, cause how do you respond to it?

I've seen people say a non-white person is "being a Karen"

maybe get rout of your alt-right echo chamber where you only ever see people whinge about the plight of the "poor white Karen"

TC is a rabid anti-SJW posting to make you have this reaction. Don't give it to him so easily. Think bout how few people actually think this way and the reaction they'll get.

I'm friends with several hardcore feminists who share Karen memes. It's not anti-women, it's anti-rude customer.

The wonderful smell of concern trolling.

The fuck? When did I mention appearance whatsoever? Like I said. If you're a pos prepared to get called out on it.

She may have changed her online name, but she can't stop being a filthy Karen, it seems.

I was more talking about the person in the picture, I don't really give a shit about TCs thoughts. But it's nice to know thank you.

I remember Karen being a thing a few years before it really became mainstream. I wonder if 'Chad' will ever reach that same status.

Yeah, I remember that too. And Chad has been mainstream for a bit now.

We still have all these stereotypical racial names floating around that are used casually like calling Asians "Ling Ling" or Hispanics "Jose", and then you see "Karen" which isn't really directed at white women but the general idea of someone with that attitude and that is where you draw the line?

I don't think those names are widely, mainstream accepted meme. I think at this point they would actually be considered racist by many. "Karen" is so accepted it has broken outside of the Internet. And I haven't seen any cases where someone who wasn't white was called a Karen (and it actually being a legitimate story. Not just one person on the Internet no one cares about or heard of)

It's directed towards white woman specifically and I think that's wrong.

Are all the memes they shared of white woman? Because I can tell you there are rude black customers, too.

This meme is racist and needs to be shut down. The fact your friends don't realize it is super sad.

Wrong. It has nothing to do with ones race and everything to do with their behavior.

There are black Karens. Theyre just much more rare than the white ones.

There are other names for such people. Worse ones.

I think the pandemic of racist white women trying to enforce their laws on innocent civilians might be slightly worse.

Please show me a mainstream example of a black Karen. This story needs to be widely shared and widely accepted as a Karen who is black. Find me just one example and make it pretty decent. Then I will be able to concede.

It just doesn't exist. There are no real black Karens. No one thinks as a Karen being black.

Ffs stop labeling people. Its fucked up, especially when used to insult

12yo karen being bullied and made fun of for her name

CE: ok listen, society hasn't deemed you off limits yet so you need to harden up and accept the bullying. one day when society says it's wrong to bully karen then come back and we'll talk. mmmmmk?

Why are you so worried about black people?

A Karen is a Karen, regardless of race.

Truthfully, its kinda hard to because the sense of entitlement that is attributed to a white Karen is grossly mislabeled when it becomes time to apply the same thing to a black Karen. 100% of the time, the same behavior of a black Karen is simply written off as an angry black woman.

I'm not sure what you mean. I'm simply defending my stance that the term Karen is racist. People are saying it's not, because there are black Karens. I want to see a real example of a black Karen.

Youve never seen a black woman act entitled before? Never? I find this hard to believe.

No one thinks of a Karen being black.

And yet, no one thinks of white people or anything related to white people when the words "ghetto" or "thug" are used.

Everyone knows the subtle undertones of the Karen meme involves a white woman, lets not be daft.
