This site really knows how to wear a good meme out. The whole Karen thing was funny when it was bitchy moms with short hair asking to speak to a manager.


Yeah I don't understand the need to politicize Karen or turn it into some general insult that is analogous to "dumbass". Karen is just a selfish, bitchy, middle aged white woman who thinks of people in the services and retail industries as existing to serve her. No more, no less.

This describes the people angrily telling everyone to stay home and reporting businesses for opening. You guys are right: those people are Karens.

I want to take this time to congratulate the board. I'm proud of us all for coming to this realization.

It's a clever group here, for sure. I always leave thinking that.

Incorrect on may levels.

More than half (51.1%) of North Carolina adults are at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19 because they are 65 or older, have at least one underlying health condition or both, according to data analyzed by the NC Department of Health and Human Services.

27 percent of people 18–24, 36 percent of people 25–49, 49 percent of people 50–64 and 56 percent of people 65 and older had at least one underlying health condition that is a risk factor for serious illness from COVID-19.

45 percent of blacks and 42 percent of whites had at least one underlying health condition.


I am sure there are other states in a worse situation regarding how healthy everyone is or is not.

No, no it doesn't. She may report a neighbor to the police for having a party because it is noisy and annoying her while she's trying to watch a Real Housewives marathon, but not because they are violating any sort of shelter in place order. If it doesn't directly affect her, Karen doesn't care. The core principle of all Karens is that no one matters but Karen, and maybe occasionally Karen's kids if they aren't getting enough minutes on their youth soccer teams.

You clearly aren't involved in any neighborhood Facebook groups if you don't think Karens are the ones leading the charge against people ignoring stay at home orders. They're the very picture of "subjugate me now!"

Yes, I could see how you might think those of us who refuse to have our rights trampled on are angry. I am actually quite angry about it.

The difference is I'm not telling anyone they can't stay home and shelter in place. You do you. If you're scared, be scared.

You can throw out all the s stats you want. Young healthy people are not dying from the virus.

Social distancing also doesnt prevent people dying or contracting the virus, it just delays it.

Why do you think they are becoming so irrationally angry about it? They know it describes them perfectly. The dudes calling me out are the same ones that would be reporting businesses and their neighbors.

What the frick are you talking about? Again, it's a meme about bitchy, the world exists to serve me, white soccer mom types who treat retail and service industry workers like dirt. It has literally nothing to do with politics, as much as you may want it to.

How very specific. You clearly don't know your meme.

ETA: Karen is the friend no one likes because she thinks she runs everything.

Yep Karens are inherently narcissists. "Im at risk", "my family is at risk", "you arent risking your life, you are risking mine" etc. Just look what that Teague a-hole said. Me and other small business owners will just have to suck it up to keep him and his safe. Im not asking his lazy arse to do anything. He can shelter in place and collect that government unemployment check till they run out of money. I dont care. On the other hand, he and the rest of the Karen brigade want everyone to shut down their lives to save them.

You are wrong. In both respects.

If you think your business struggling entitles you to endanger the safety of literally any of your fellow citizens, I will just be polite and say it doesn't sound like you went to law school or have ever read the constitution.
