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No joke can be unilaterally withdrawn from circulation.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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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".
