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 Meat Karenmug. A woman, usually middle aged with blonde hair, and always thinks she's in the right, who whenever someone tries to ask her to stop, either calls the police or ask to speak to the manager
store clerk:" ma'am I will have to ask you to put on a mask or leave"
Karen:" this is infringing on my rights as an American, i demand to speak to your manager"
store worker:" well ma'am, *chuckels* I AM THE MANAGER"
Karen:" NANI, IMPOSSIBLE"

Get the Karen (kei)mug. A Karen is an old woman who is either racist, stupid or loves to call the cops and pretend they’re getting harassed by younger people. Often if it’s a racism case then they try to hide that they are racist by probably saying “I have a black friend”.
Lady:I’m calling the cops
Jim:but what did I do (is black)
Jim:are u being racist rn?
Lady:no my dad is black and I have a black friend so I’m not racist.
Mack: (watching this video on YouTube) she is such a Karen
Jim:but what did I do (is black)

Get the Karenmug. This is yet another asinine way for our sh#tty, patriarchal culture to demonize women for absolutely anything they do. There is no male equivalent term. Men also complain, call the cops on people for trivial reasons, and throw fits in public. But only women are policed with douchebag pejorative labels like this. Often by shitty white males who gleefully trot out entitled stereotypes like this against any woman who ever dares to take up her own space in the world and/or does not feel obligated to kiss said white dude's overly- entitled butthole for him.
If you point out how egregiously and obviously MISOGYNIST this dumbo word is, some bumpkin will leap up to declare you a Karen for not being down with the pejorative use of the word Karen. Like he thought of something cute. Which he did not. He's just some stupid bumpkin.
By the way, dudes, speaking of overly entitled bumpkins... your "y" chromosome? It's not a "y." It's an X chromosome, same as all the others, except it's missing an entire leg. Yep. Missing a full quarter of its generic material, and it's shrunken besides. You are not "superior" (LAUGH) dummies. You're genetically inferior, and completely unnecessary. YOU are the deviation, women are standard. YOU are the weaker sex, women have a FULL set of chromosomes and you do not.
So take your "Karen" and shove it right up your bumpkin hole.

Man: That soccer mom prick tease uppity bitch is such a Karen!
Other man: Yeh. How come we can't get laid, anyway?
Narrator: Because you are both pathetic, ugly incel bumpkins in magat hats. You're walking meat rectangles with greasy, pink, BALD heads (EWWW!!!) And 4 foot wide beer guts who nevertheless feel entitled to the time and attention of 18yo beauty queens, you pathetic jokes.
Scientist: Had they a full set of chromosomes, instead of a busted X, they wouldn't be bald. Or colorblind. Or susceptible to the dozens of sex linked diseases they get. Because a full set of chromosomes is strong and vibrant, and a shriveled busted x gives men a false sense of entitlement. Dumbos.
