A Los Angeles artist is selling 'Karen' Halloween masks, calling them 'the real monsters of 2020

Halloween is just around the corner and, as expected, costumes highlighting the most prominent moments of 2020 are sprouting up — including "Karen" masks.

"Karen" has become an umbrella term to describe middle-aged white women who assert their sense of entitlement when they commit actions that some perceive as racist, as Insider's Rachel Greenspan reported. "Karens" that have been in the news recently include Amy Cooper, who called the police on a Black man in New York in May, as well as a San Francisco woman who called the cops on her neighbor, who was writing "Black Lives Matter" in chalk on his own property.

The "Karen" Halloween masks were created by Jason Adcock, a Los Angeles-based artist for hire according to his Instagram. They're made with latex and come with styled hair, lashes, and a personal paint job, according to the Etsy description.

Adcock told Business Insider that he's always worked in retail and has seen lots of "Karens" in their "natural habitat."

4. And there are lots of men named Rudolph who don't have a red nose, or fly.

We all like perfectly nice Karens, and even perfectly wonderful Donalds, for that matter.

5. Reminder that lot of men hate women more than Trump

Mask reminds me of Trump's denigration of Megyn Kelly ;
:
Blood coming out of her eye...her wherever.

This entrepreneur is a con playing on male fear of women and patriarchal fear of losing power to people they deem the "other."

A female dominated society did not bring us Trump and our massive inequality . This is the work of centuries of male domination.

This maskmaker tells us that a few women are scarier than Trump and his backers and apologists. I see another nervous misogynist trying to make a buck and shore up the male club at the same time.
