"Karen" is a meme for women of boomer age who interfere with younger folk in ways that are pedantic and tone deaf. "Karen" is middle-aged and up, has short blond hair, and always wants to speak to the manager about the inconsequential infractions of the younger service workers. She has also been known to engage in racist police calls (although in reality those women have all had other names) and has merged with "Becky." Calling out that this meme is itself sexist and tone deaf will also get you called Karen.
Karen thinks she can order her burger "Medium Rare" at BK, just because their slogan is "have it your way"

Anti-Vaxxer
Took the kids
Flat earther
May I speak to your manager haircut
Middle aged white woman
She is white but her kids aren't
Always wears sunglasses
Never takes any responsibility for her actions
Never lets her kids take responsibility for their actions
Is in every entitled parents story with a EM

I was just sitting peacefully on my DS until Karen came over and demanded I give it to her kid because he has good grades and deserves it more than me and threatened to accuse me of assault if I didin't.

The human version of the rare plague rat, these people are often observed as blonde, white, and female. Even during a worldwide pandemic, they refuse to wear a mask, which is how we can tell that they are closely related to the plague rat. They are commonly found in a store,(a Walmart is where you'll find them most) arguing with a more reasonable employee. They attack their prey not by killing them, like most animals, but potentially giving them a deadly virus by not practicing social distancing, not wearing a mask as previously said, and by aggressively demanding to speak with the employee's manager. Also note that their transportation is usually a Honda.
Employee: I'm very sorry ma'am but you are required to wear a mask, it's the law!
Karen: It's my right not to!
Employee: Ma'am I'm trying to be reasonable but you're making it diffi--
Karen: Don't you dare talk to me like that! I would like to see the manager!
Karen: It's my right not to!

Karen: Don't you dare talk to me like that! I would like to see the manager!

Karen is the most overused name on the planet.
It’s typically used by middle aged people to basically call out the very things they do themselves.
Since there’s no male name used as much as Karen it’s basically used to shut woman up just by saying “OK Karen” It’s also used by people who have nothing interesting to say to defend a point so they call someone Karen.
Like all things it’s ran it’s course but the boomers just can’t help calling other boomers Karen too feel cool.

Most of the time a middle aged woman who does not understand basic rules or guidelines. Their main thing is to ask for the manager.
A Karen walked into my store and refused to wear a mask in the middle of a pandemic! i asked her to leave and she refused threatening to sue us.
