The Anti-Mask Karens of Florida

[Sparko]

Karen=clueless white woman.


But then this is Florida, second only to California for weirdness and nuts.

[whag]

I really don't like it when they take a common name like that and assign nutty behavior to it.

I see your point, but it turned into something positive to stigmatize entitled women who feel they can be obnoxious and sometimes outright racist in public.

There's no doubt that they're mentally retarded.

Ahem. Since I know some so-called mentally retarded people, I will take exception on their behalf. This is not an acceptable brush to use.

I knew that comment was going to draw some ire, and yet I chose to use it anyway. I honestly apologize if that offended you, but I could not think of a more appropriate word to use at that moment.

FWIW, I usually don't use it, for the reason you've pointed to.

Meh..... it needlessly stigmatizes thousands of decent women named Karen for no good purpose. It's cruel and hateful.

No, it's certainly not.

It would offend anybody who has a sense of decency.

At least you have a sense of decency, however latent.

It really couldn’t be helped. As more women brazenly acted out their entitlement and racism on camera, the meme developed. Evil people didn’t conspire to denigrate the name. The stigma started with the behavior of women calling 911 for no good reason.

And all these women were named Karen?

I don't care that a "meme developed" - it doesn't have to be perpetuated by decent people.

In the old days, we'd call them something like "the Church Lady". Everybody knows who that is.

Maybe of these women swear like sailors.

I vented. I'm done.
