How about we call them Didus?

I always hear stories of Didus bitching about Amazon and their phone.

it's funny that you think these are the same. Oh wait you're the MRA guy from CE arent you. that tracks.

I literally never post on CE or have anything to do with MRA, but way to make wildly incorrect guesses and not check your facts in service of a bullshit argument that you're not even bothering to defend.

Having worked for too many years in customer service (thank god I'm out!), we still call the male Karens by the name Karen.

So... are you trying to tell us something with this post or just more deflection from how ridiculous your original argument was and how you're trying to flat-out make shit up in order to distract from the topic at hand?

Lol whatever you say Derek

I'm honestly just confused at this point on whether you're actually stupid enough to think you're making a point or are deliberately taking the piss.

Either way, is Derek someone you have a mancrush on or something?

I apologize in advance if you think that term is misogynist.

You two are having the dumbest argument about nothing and you both look ridiculous right now.

added to ignore list for misgendering. have a nice day

"Karen" seems like one of those crap tier memes some guy who is always cooking up crap tier memes made while in his mothers basement. All of his other memes didnt ever stick and he got lucky this one time because people are tired of COVID news so anything seems funny.

It's a name...just a womans name. How is it funny? Moreover...if your actual name is Karen and you're a very nice woman do you suddenly now deserve all this crap because some guy in a basement thought your name was gold star meme material?

It's not even a weird name...or one that ever even carried this "crazy lady" stigma before this. The meme is just trash and came with no thought. Its popularity is a real shame.

I'm not even sure you could call it an argument. He seemed to have me mistaken for someone else and then just ran with it, even when I corrected him.

I always thought 'Karen' was slang/slur for "c^nt"...

..if there is a male version of that it's simply "@$$hole"..

I don't think you've ever worked customer service before. The popularity of the meme comes less from its humor and more from the fact that a large segment of the United States population finds it relatable. We're laughing more from experience of having delt with problem customers who fit that stereotype than at the name Karen. I don't know where the name comes from, but we in customer service were definitely calling them Karens before it became an Internet meme. No one is actually giving real people named Karen crap because they share their name with a stereotype. The few Karens I have known have always took the meme in good humor than personal attacks.

Karens have been around long before COVID, AFAIK...

We can called the bitchy ones bitches if that makes you feel better. Though, Karen is probably a little nicer...

No? What makes someone a Karen is their behavior, not what jokes/memes they find funny. It's solely based on how someone chooses to act and treat people in service positions.

Also Karen. There's no particular need to gender the term.

Yes. And? The term happens because the most common type of abusive customer happen to share a bunch of traits. One of which is female but it is not exclusive to that gender in the slightest. I don't see the problem.

They're still called Karens, though some people will say "a male Karen" to specify.

That's what I've done tbh.
