The Karen thing is weird to me because it's a pretty typical name and I know multiple karens. But it must be generational since it appears to have had a dramatic drop off in the 80s.
Yeah it’s kind of an ageist thing. Gen x was like the last time that name was common.
I have an aunt named Karen. I have never asked her what she thought about that name being a sort of slur now.
Is she a Karen though?
Nah.
I have a relative whose name is Karen and she's the biggest Karen.
Her name is Cunt?
Fucking hell the post office must love that!
I only know one millennial Karen and she's cool as all hell.
The generational divide is the point though. The archetypal Karen is a gen x woman being really entitled to a gen z service worker
Which tracts because karen is usually associated with middle aged women, and that's the age group.
Of land?
