Karen
Middle aged woman, typically blonde, makes solutions to others' problems an inconvenience to her although she isn't even remotely affected.
Karen sues the local city council after they installed a new STOP sign that hides the sun from her window for two minutes a day. The sign was installed after a school boy on his bicycle was hit by a speeding driver and died.
Karen refuses to wear a face mask for her 5 minute trip to the supermarket during a pandemic. She harasses the workers, asks to see the manager and threatens to sue.
Karen complains that her favorite parking spot was replaced by a ramp for wheel chairs. She parks her car in the old spot anyway and shoots a vlog about it. Posts random things on Facebook, trying to be cool, about dropping her kids of at school and going to Pilates. Threatens every single manager in the world. If you see a Karen, watch out!

Karen: Excuse me, I have a medical condition and I can not wear a mask!
Worker: Sorry Ma'am, it is store policy to wear a face mask.
Karen: It is not against the law!!! LET ME IN!!!!
Worker: Sorry Ma'am but you must wear a face mask in our store, this is a private business.
Customer: Oh, such a Karen!!! HAHAHAH!

Get the Karenmug. A particularly obnoxious Canadian White middle aged woman, a product of the old style British system of stratification where in 6th grade, students were forcibly separated based on their test scores they took at age 11. Karens were guaranteed a place in University, a good government job, etc. Karens could count on the fellow white cops coming running if somebody looked out of place in their neighbourhood. Karens lived in a world that changed in the 90s, where Canada to live up to the promise of the Charter Of Rights and Freedoms. Since then, immigrants took the government jobs, people of colour became cops.
Karens have since become bitter anti immigrant, Conservative Party Of Canada supporters, longing for the days they were queen shit and are left to try to reclaim power by kicking downwards. They’re the ones who call in noise complaints right at 11PM.

“You now that woman who threatened to call the cops at the kids who blocked her driveway playing street hockey? Total Karen.”

Get the Karenmug. 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.

Get the Karenmug. A middle aged woman with blond hair and a bob. They’ll usually say “I’m gonna sue you!” —or—“Where’s your manager?” It honestly gets really annoying at times. Never even try to make conversation with them. Some Karens are good, though. They can be kindhearted. So, if you see a good Karen, feel sorry for them. Feel sorry for their name.

Get the Karenmug. A self-righteous, petty and entitled overgrown child who can’t handle minor inconveniences caused by other people’s solutions for their needs. Typically a white middle aged woman with pink yoga pants and Walmart running shoes.
1. Karen threatens to sue the police officer for escorting her out of a store after she refused to leave for not wearing a mask during a pandemic...disregarding the safety of those at risk of covid, because the mask made her uncomfortable
2. Karen refuses to leave a public park after the city closed it down to follow social distancing measures, because she “has the right to let her kids play at a public park when she wants”
3. Karen asks for the manager at McDonald’s and threatens to sue, because she slipped on wet floor next to a “caution: wet floor” sign. She claims that she didn’t see the sign because it wasn’t colorful enough and thus the employees should pay for her bruised leg.
4. There has likely never been a single instance in Karen’s life when she has viewed her behaviour from the eyes of other people. She lacks the capacity for empathy and self reflection, and is incapable of listening to reason.
