What is the meaning of ‘Karen’ as an insult? These memes explain it all
To be called a “Karen” means that you’re being compared to a rude, insufferable middle-aged white woman. Basically, a Karen demeans & belittles retail workers, asks to speak to the manager for minor infractions, believes in essential oils over conventional medicine, thinks that vaccines are from the Devil, and has that distinctive haircut (usually blonde).
Karens can also be men, though commonly this is placed on women. But yeah, just look out for all the male Karens in the world – sometimes called a Ken. It’s the attitude that makes a Karen, a Karen transcends gender.
Karens have equated being called “Karen” to a racial slur, which . . . no. No, it’s not. It’s calling people out on their bad and entitled behavior. For those who need some education on just who the Karens in the world are, check out these high quality Karen memes to get a Karen meaning.
