... Wait, what?

'Karen' has morphed that much in common, modern usage?

I am not saying you are wrong, I am saying that I have not encountered this... probably worth noting that I entirely do not use corpo social media, I don't watch livestreams, I basically just use YouTube, which I have done a decent job of curating and manicuring my feed into not serving me up slop or sending me into some unwanted content pipeline... so I acknowledge I may be out of touch here with the modern lingo.

That being said, I still use 'karen' to mean basically a vastly over entitled person rudely and aggressively demanding to see the manager, demanding to get special treatment, demeaning anyone else around her as some kind of lesser social category of some kind... basically a delusional petty tyrant, often classist, racist, bigoted, etc.

I don't even use the term as specific to women, I'll call anyone of any sex or gender acting like that, though I do realize that most people who use the term use it in reference to women.

... Have the rightoids really bastardized and inverted the term that fucking hard?

Is this a Zoomer or Gen A thing?

I am genuinely asking this, because I go fairly far out of my way to not view or listen to or interact with aggressively ignorant morons.
