a meme used by people too
lazy to more effectively label or respond to behavior they don't
like.
"Hey, Karen, it's all good. It's only a meme, a shield, a scar. We really are nice people, you know..."
Enough of this childish name-meme mania already. People need to
stop hiding behind (and abusing at the same
time) the names of average people, and just use the terms that
fit, whatever they are. I'm sure the name-callers would feel different if it were their names, or their spouse/child's name, or some ethnic/etc label that matches them and that they care about. Grow up, people. The emotional trauma that this callous behavior causes is real.
This
may seem to many just light entertainment, just
swimming in or reflecting on the cultural context we find ourselves in. Well it sends and amplifies messages far beyond that, and you are responsible for your part in it. Please help the end-result of whatever you do or say in relation to this meme to have a more positive result for the specific people affected, and the maturity of our
society in general.
Hey, Karen, it's all good. It's only a
meme, a
shield, a scar. We really are nice people, you
