The fact that the world continues to turn can only indicate that new trends are being created on a daily basis. Over the years, many words and memes have taken the world by storm, but in 2020, one in particular—the Karen—rose to prominence.
You can consider yourself fortunate if you have never had to deal with a Karen. They do everything they can and have had conversations with more supervisors than you can count. Regretfully, the majority of Karens dislike being referred to as Karens, particularly since there is a whole group devoted to them.
All for Karen
In our lifetimes, many of us have seen a Karen or two. They are the ones who are compelled to speak with the management and frequently want their thoughts to be heard by everyone, even if no one asked them.
Living with a Karen can be difficult, but for those who are caught in their path, it’s frequently harder. Pages of people sharing their experiences with a Karen abound on social media. Unfortunately, one was pleased to hear about them.
The start of it all
When a woman named Karen discovered a page titled “No KaReN,” she was not happy. She had apparently only recently discovered the name. She was pushed over the edge by the discovery of the page.
Karen clarified that she was involved in a feminist movement and that she finds it disrespectful to name someone a Karen. Is her true name to blame for all of this? Unfortunately, this woman was just getting started with her tirade.
Doing her research
Karen apparently perused the article before voicing her dissatisfaction, indicating that she had already done her homework. It turns out that Karens can still locate a management to complain to online.
Sometimes all they have to do is search hard enough to locate one. In the first place, how did Karen find the page? That would be her daughter, who is fourteen years old. It was certainly funny to her daughter, but her mother didn’t find it funny.
Fighting her corner
This Karen seemed to believe that her name and all other people with the same name were the focus of the page. Naturally, when everything seem to fall into place, it might be a hilarious result, but this was all a coincidence.
Karen was prepared to stand up for herself and all future Karens, even though she appeared offended by the usage of her name. As it happened, she had also discovered another page that appeared to upset several people. She now demanded accountability from both sites.
Strength in numbers
Social media has the potential to both unite people and drive a wedge across the globe. Karen seemed to want to put an end to things before they got out of hand, but it was too late. The phrase “being a Karen” has become more popular in 2020, among other things.
In addition to reporting the page to the social media staff, Karen apparently felt so insulted by it that she looked up examples of other people who were tired of being referred to as Karens.
The good and the bad
Social networking hasn’t always been the greatest option, of course. Thousands have gathered to express their diverse viewpoints on issues, and they typically leave someone feeling offended. Fortunately, social media may also serve as a platform for global education and human connection.
Who was correct? It seemed to Karen that everyone on the page was attacking her. Nevertheless, the supporters have united to create their own community. Must they be demolished?
Turning against her
Karen seemed to be blaming this bunch for everything. She wanted it to stop because they seemed to be responsible for a lot of the tales and memes. Karen had no idea that things had gotten out of hand.
It might be difficult to browse social media without coming across yet another video of a Karen in the wild or one ruining someone’s life. Even her own daughter was now beginning to criticise her.
Setting things straight
Karen quickly received a message from the page’s owner. It should come as no surprise that someone with the page “No KaReN” had a thought-provoking response for Karen. They were unsure of how to respond, though.
They first sought to determine whether Karen was being sincere or attempting to play a practical joke on the page. The owner just intended to convey that the page is meant for everyone who matches the Karen stereotype, not for any specific individual.
Too far spread
The page’s owner went on to correct the situation. I hope their explanation will soothe their concerns and that this was just a case of someone named Karen receiving the bad end of the stick.
The proprietor went on to say that it had nothing to do with Karens. The phrase is meant to be humorous. They knew the term had gone too far online, but they were nevertheless disappointed to hear that Karen was so offended. There was no way out of it.
Proof of reports
If Karens have one thing in common, it’s complaining. If they are able to obtain the manager, it is much better. It is unclear to us if managers receive training on how to handle Karens or if they must learn on the fly and hope to survive.
What if Karen’s claim that she had already reported the page to social media was only a threat? The page’s owner was looking for evidence. Pictures or it didn’t happen, isn’t it?
With deepest regrets
The page owner had more to say, but it appeared as though they were ready to wind things up. As it turned out, they viewed Karen as just another Karen that they discuss on their website and didn’t really care what she had to say.
It seems that they were searching for someone to handle Karen’s grievances at the moment. Unfortunately, those seemed to be out of stock everywhere. The owner seemed to be more concerned with global events than Karen’s viewpoint.
Getting legal advice
This Karen was quite agitated. When a Karen is upset, it’s the one thing that most people want to avoid. Even the most powerful managers can be defeated by their abilities. This page wasn’t going down easily, though.
People like this helped the page owner establish the space, and they were now going to make excellent use of it. Karen persisted in threatening to have the page taken down by calling her attorney. If she would follow through on the threats, only time would tell.
Stepping things up
The owner was brainstorming the ideal response while Karen was occupied with texting the page with their content. Since they believed Karen didn’t understand the purpose of the page, it turns out that they had had enough of someone whining.
Karen apparently still believed that the page was targeting her name rather than a collection of individuals who shared her characteristics. They had taken off their gloves. The page’s owner was no longer present to play about.
Going over the point
How many different ways are there to address someone? When you have tried every possible explanation and they still don’t understand, what should you do? For all parties concerned, it may be rather annoying.
It’s similar to trying to direct someone and having them drive past the turn without paying attention. That’s what happened when Karen responded to the page’s owner. They had given up on attempting to be kind to her.
Standing by the page
Everyone has the right to express their opinions, which is one of the world’s finest things. Regretfully, this does not imply that your opinions will be accepted by everyone. That’s exactly what was going on with the page for Karen.
As if that weren’t enough, the page’s owner refused to change. They believe they have every right to post anything they want on the internet. Having said that, Karen is free to report the page at any time.
