Maybe instead of using the name 'Karen' we should apply the name 'Qarenon'

Avoids offending actual fine upstanding citizens named Karen, semi-links to Qanon, although I do see that it resembles a name or term that might show up in a Superman story.

Quaren!


It's amazing that there are still women willing to rant racistically knowing they're being recorded and will probably be fired tomorrow.

But the Qnon phenomenon shows how very unhinged a large group of malcontents is.

Quaren...still pronounced the same though.

Reasonable people with the name Karen aren’t going to get upset, any more than I get upset because I hear people waaaaailing my name because there’s a song of the same title.

Faux outrage by alleged feminists who apparently don’t have real patriarchy to smash, concern trolls, and others aside, it’s a great term and I’ll keep using it.

and REALLY REALLY REALLY wish it would catch on. It is so perfect. Especially since the "karen" thing has gone beyond just demanding to speak to a manager.
