It is a bit much. I know a Karen and she's a great person but her life has changed over the past few years. Her name has become a real bane to her, and it's weird to me that is her new reality.

To me, "Karen" has just become a PC way of calling a woman a bitch...people say "look at this Karen" and things like that. It's so obviously just a substitute word that has become socially acceptable, because people love running jokes into the ground.

How Karen of you

That was rude. I'd like to speak with your supervisor. A person shouldn't be treated like this this day and age, things weren't like this thirty years ago.

This is what I'm talking about...what does this even mean?

I get your joke, but people called Dick are actually named Richard, so...

Yep. I dated a Karen when I was young and she was a sweet girl who holds a special place in my heart. It's a really stupid meme that lacks much depth.

It’s not going away at this point, she could always start going by Carrie / an alternative spelling if she wants to keep the K.

Pretty much. That doesn't mean anyone named Karen is a bitch though.

Starting now, let's all just change it to Jen. Jens are now worse than Karens.

That is a very Karen thing to do.

It's getting harder and harder to unwrap the densely layered sarcasm these days. And I am a total smart ass. But I cant keep up.

Really. Sort of proves the point of the Karen stereotype.

All jokes are offensive to someone.

No joke can be unilaterally withdrawn from circulation.

Finally, instead of acting like Karens, by asking that people stop using a style of humor, concerned Karens should work at not being a Karen.

Not all jokes are offensive to everyone

But that's not what I said, is it?

Just that every joke could be offensive to someone.

If every topic is offensive, then none are.

If you think these are equivalent can I interest you in my multi level marketing scheme?

It's not like calling them something else would help. Anything we come up with will eventually be construed as misogynistic (and indeed would even be intended as such by some people). Just calling them arseholes would not communicate what specific sort of arsehole you mean.

Maybe they're just "one of the good ones".

Nobody cares what a bunch of white ladies think. They are one of the last safe punching bags for jokes. Everybody knows they don't have feelings.
