I still hear Karen being used.

you must really live in the boondocks. This will be in a drive-in near you.

I live in Toronto so no boondocks. Beyond that, I often hear it online.

reply

so not in the real world? thanks

reply

Toronto and the internet are not in the real world?

reply

Toronto is, but you said you read (not heard) the term on online. If you believe online is the real world than I have a tower on Front Street I can sell you for cash.

reply

So you’re claiming that the use of the term Karen on the internet is the result if some weird work of fiction created by AI and that no humans are actually using the word, thus it is not actually happening.

Okay, then.

Not even sure why you’re so defensive about the usage of the word. Every person in this thread is telling you it’s a slang term that is still in use. Then again, this is an internet forum which, according to you, means none of us are real.

Maybe I am a producer trying to make the movie trend.

reply

Toronto is functionally the boondocks. They follow USA pop culture trends a bit late.

Now, USA pop culture trends aint all that. It's not as if following them "late" means there is anything wrong with Toronto. (You could say it means the opposite.) Nevertheless, Toronto follows more trends than it originates (and I'm not talking, like, some new Guyanese dish), and by definition it takes some time for those trends to spread from local USA places.

I hear people use Karen a lot still.

reply

I bet you hear "ok, boomer" a lot, too.

reply

Not as often, but occasionally I see it on the internet. No one has ever said ok boomer to me or called me a Karen.

reply

Who actually uses this term? The left or the right? I'm confused.

reply

It's probably non-partisan

reply

People still use Karen a lot

reply

People use it a lot, but it's already played out.

reply

so it is a cliché from three years ago.

reply

It's still used plenty. Get out of your hole.

reply

Right wing hole, to be specific.

reply

I'm in NYC, that word is definitely used a LOT..

reply

It’s racist too, imagine if people called all loud annoying black women a certain name. That would be considered racist, don’t understand this double standard shit

reply

I’ve seen the word aimed at non-white women and even men. It started as a term for white women mostly but I think it’s now for anyone who is complaining about unimportant shit.
