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.
Does it change the fact it’s bullying?
It’s not bullying, because it calls out racist bullying by the privileged, the karen/ ken meme is POCs choosing satire as a way of reacting to class-based and racially charged hostility.
Did you not read the meme or even the quick excerpt I copy-pasted? Here’s the shorter version.
If you refuse to get it, then I can’t help you.
but you used a given name is the point, how do you not understand that? there is a right way, and a wrong way, this is the wrong way bc you think other people are more important so its okay to bully someone else.
Writer Karen Geier responded to Amy Bindel who said the karen meme was women-hating saying, “As the only Karen replying to you: No. If you have a problem being called ‘a Karen’ then don’t be one? I don’t call the police on people or ask to speak to the manager. Very simple!”
