If you demonize anyone who reports and complains about antisocial behavior or poor customer service by mocking them and calling them "Karen", you allow antisocial behavior and poor customer service to become the norm.

I think for a very brief time period, it was legitimately about holding shitty people accountable, but it quickly turned into mob justice.
