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 Karenmug. An angry, middle-aged, white lady who gets upset at the smallest inconvenience. Karens think they are above everyone and have the worst fashion sense. Anything different from Karen is immediately seen as a threat, and she will make it known she is upset by throwing a temper tantrum in a public environment.
Person A: Oh no, Karen's yelling at the barista again.
Person B: Really?! That's so Karen. What's she saying?
Karen: I asked for a mocha latte, NOT a latte mocha! Are you retarded or something?! Do you know who I am?! LET ME SEE YOUR MANAGER. NO, I'M NOT GOING TO WEAR A MASK! OMG I'M DYING SOMEONE SAVE MEEE
