Rapidly-spreading behavioural disorder marked by inflated sense of self-importance & unwavering belief in deserving special treatment. Condition typically manifests in relentless demands to "see the manager" over trivial issues, an incessant need to complain, & a firm conviction that personal opinions are universal truths; & results in disruptions to social & professional environments, creating tension & stifling cooperation.
The afflicted ("Karens") possess a supernatural ability to detect non-existent customer service violations & are known to demand refunds for items they didn’t purchase. They travel in packs, known as a "Squabble of Karens," often seen in malls, coffee shops, or anywhere with Wi-Fi to fuel their social media rants.
Advanced cases extend beyond stores, leading to workplace disruptions, social isolation, & even public confrontations over perceived slights.
Societal impact includes creating division, hindering progress, & promoting a culture of discord. Online, their self-righteous activism clogs social media with misinformation & cancel-culture campaigns; while in communities, they spearhead NIMBY movements, opposing anything that doesn't align with their narrow worldview.
Professionally, they're notorious for stalling team projects & demanding recognition without merit, ultimately isolating themselves as they wonder why their brilliance isn’t rewarded.
Treatment: A heavy dose of humility, empathy, & exposure to diverse perspectives.

Upper middle class conservative white woman from Texas who joins the neighborhood app just so she can keep her nose in everyones business. Karen’s are extremely uppity and entitled they speak down to food workers and house keepers. They expect everyone to have the same belief system as them and they are racist. You’ll catch a Karen triple locking her car every time she goes out to run errands because she perceives diversity as meaning “it’s a bad neighborhood”. She’s completely materialistic likely over weight and over protective of her stuff. She is wasteful and contributes to the mass amounts of plastic clogging up our oceans. She thinks dogs are all dirty and she has no sense of humor. Karen’s will nit pick, micro manage and be extremely passive aggressive. They demand special treatment and understanding yet they are always willing to cross your boundaries and disrespect you. Karen’s are OCD about the most tedious , minuscule things like how to fold a washcloth or a pair of underwear.

Derogatory name for a woman (usually Caucasian) who knows her rights and isn’t afraid to speak up for herself and others. Often the subject of envy and jealousy from those who can’t or won’t educate or stand up for themselves and accuse her of being privileged. A highly effective, self driven, tactic of authoritative patriarchal societies to subjugate and control women through the use of ridicule and shame and divide and conquer strategies that utilizes the ignorant, compliant and passive to target those who educate and advocate for themselves and others.

An overly entitled white woman. Typically blonde hair with blue eyes. Karen inserts herself into other people’s business demanding attention and looking to play the victim. Beware Karen will call the police on you even if she is at fault.
