Karen

[Death]

I remember a couple of months ago on BBC Breakfast a group of Karen's had assembled to Karen about being called Karen and how they were debating changing their name.

It was like Karen-ception.

Tbh though its just a few Karen's spoiling the good name of Karen, like Kopites.

I hope there’s a couple of Kopite Karen’s demanding they speak to Klopp after the derby.

‘AHHHHHH WHY DID YOU LET THAT FLASH COLOMBIAN SCORE 2 WITHOUT HIM RUNNING ONCE. I AM A VICTUM AAAAARRRGGHH’’

This is what assertiveness training gives you. The means to know how to get your way without having the means of knowing if you're right.

Not really, assertiveness is about standing up for your own rights AND respecting the rights of others. This kind of behaviour ignores the responsibility to respect the rights of others.

Well I agree - hence the latter part of my statement!

You can lead a horse to water but a pencil must be lead.

I made it two minutes. I wondered why would anyone waste their time watching this. Then I realized I was that person. I clicked on it again to stop it, then see that it goes on another 10 minutes.

No way did you watch all 12 minutes of that lol. I don't disagree with any of what I saw. But the horse died a second in. 2 minutes was crazy long.

She's a very popular anti-outrage culture channel and makes good points, why suggest watching it would be a waste of people's time? That video is sat at 1.3m views. She makes good points.

She did. It just could have been like 2 minutes long, not 12. I'd recommend the first 2 and you get the point.

Ah I know the type.

I've met many, many individuals like this over the years, predominantly but not exclusively female and right across the ethnic background spectrum.

In my experience I've noted no significance to race and more to do with people not being used to being told no or having a permanent sense of injustice and victim mentality. I suppose you could argue that whites are more likely to be wealthier and so less likely to be told no but I think it would be more of a trend to see how many of these people have personality disorder traits and diagnoses.

Rather than view it as a white woman thing it should just be seen as unacceptable societal behaviour..

What also makes me chuckle is a lot of things folk take issue with really aren't a big deal. Its almost like they have a permanent defensive "no one messes with me" mindset.

"This is oppression and a violation of my rights, you are literally dehumanising me by asking this"

"But I only said "excuse me" so I could pass you on this narrow pavement and avoid pushing you over"

"How dare you, its unlawful. Is that a threat?"

Gaaaaawd

We need to talk about the Karen situation

Description
Karen is a pejorative term used in the United States and other English-speaking countries for a woman perceived as entitled or demanding beyond the scope of what is appropriate or necessary. A common stereotype is that of a white woman who uses her privilege to demand her own way at the expense of others.

If that's the case, this might be Karen.

If that's the case, this might be Karen.

I kind of hope there is an underlying problem there, which can be treated, as that's quite disturbing behavior.
