The 'Karen' thing has been really bothering me. It's a really super common name here and has nothing to do with any of those stereotypes. I've had friends called Karen most of my life and I can't imagine they or any of the thousands of other Karens in Britain are having any fun with this. It would be like if 'Ben' became a synonym for 'asshole'. Every Karen I ever knew was too nice to do this, but I would declare war on the entire internet! Justice for Karens! I would propose a hug a Karen day, but sexual assault and also killer virus. Nonetheless, a call somebody really cool Karen year* to redress the balance?**
Sorry Wands, not yelling at you, but the whole thing has been annoying me even from people I like.
*I was going to say 'day' but this has gone way beyond a one day apology. If this was a relationship issue this would have progressed beyond chocolates to 'cut off a body part' level of saying sorry!
**Other than everybody I ever met called Karen, who were all really cool and are also called Karen anyway, so that would be a hollow gesture.
