A dead meme that has never been funny and is just used to make women feel bad about themselves, controlled, and self-conscious about having an opinion on anything. It's also depressing for girls named Karen who've had to change their names or move schools because of sick people who think using this term is ok.
The meme fell out of favor quickly when people realized their own moms were called Karens for no reason. When women were ruthlessly bullied on the internet because some jerk who wants clout filmed her and tried to portray her in a bad light when she was just trying to live her life. The realization that society hates middle-aged women for existing, women are judged harsher, and this rabid obsessive bullying has no regard for women's humanity from people who spend too much time online and hate women.
Pakistani-American writer, public speaker, and activist Sarah Haider calls the term a "term of abuse" and explains it is used in place of calling women misogynistic slurs and to get away with socially acceptable misogyny.
"The Karen archetype is just the most recent, millenial-sanctioned attempt to keep women in their place," writes Ahmed Pierstorff.

I hate when women defend themselves or even open their mouths, so I'm gonna shut her up and try to embarass her by calling her a Karen.
Even the most boring person on earth shouldn't be using the term Karen at this point. It's the most dead joke ever.
Diminutive of Katherine, Karen is a pretty, sweet, and warm name. Let Karens exist in peace.

Get the Karenize mug.Being a Karen/Kevin: (Predicate Nominative Phrase): A crime punishable by law equal in consequence to false reporting, defamation of character and/or murder. Definition: When a white person involves themselves without prompting in the life or business of a person of color, who is not committing any crime, in order to jeopardize their ability to pursue happiness, maintain freedom(s), and/or preserve their own life--potentially stripping said person(s) of their inalienable rights. Karens and Kevins commit this crime (categorized under False Reporting and Defamation of Character & up to Murder, in rare cases) under the guise of care and concern and offering a helping hand(however incapable), entitlement, and/or unsolicited Saviorism if their intentions are good or ignorant, yet the impact on targeted people of color is exactly the same. More often this crime is committed with mal-intent by overt racists who proudly jeopardize the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness of said victims of color. This crime is punishable by law, usually at the level of misdemeanor to felony, but the offender may receive up to a life sentence, if there is loss of life or punitive damages as a result of a Karen's/Kevin's carefully, careless actions.
Being a Karen/Kevin should be a crime punishable to the full extent of the law. A Karen made a false report on me saying that I harassed children under the age of 18 in my neighborhood. I've been through 6 months of court proceedings, but thankfully, my lawyer has assured me that I will walk out of the courtroom with him; if I were to be charged with this misdemeanor, I may no longer have unsupervised visits with my kids, and my 22-year-teaching career would end if I were blacklisted.
