A subtype of the "Karen" archetype of annoying women cliches/tropes;

Screaming Karens are the type of person who films a fight/confrontation with their iPhone,
actively avoiding doing anything about the situation.

When a punch lands, or a fight ensues, the screaming karen will SCREECH at the top of their lungs to indicate something has happened. Usually deafening the viewer of the video being recorded.

Alternatively, this type of Karen, usually when being 'hella ghetto', will announce low-tier shit talk during the duration of the fight. Usually along the lines of something stupid, such as, "Get 'em! Get 'em!", often repeatedly.

Screaming Karens provide nothing to any conflict; they simply stand far away, record in Portrait mode on their phone, and act as a human alarm to alert any passerbys that there might, indeed, be a thing happening.
"Did you see that video of the fight in the mall last night?"
"Yeah bro. But whoever recorded it was a real Screeching Karen, I couldn't even hear what they were fighting about!"
