Not individually but as a function of society. These people keep standards high, even the ones who are unreasonable. I don’t like them and I would hate to deal with them but in contrast they make reasonable people appear reasonable. If there were no Karen’s you might get attitude for asking for a clean spoon. So have some appreciation for these horrible people.

    I personally try not to use the term because there’s actual people named Karen and it’s super fucked up to have your name used like that.

      Your bar for things being fucked up is unimaginably low.

        I agree. People who were given the name Karen at birth and then lived their entire lives with that as the centre of their identity should just change their names and stop whining
