| Boilerpipe Text | Life can be tough if youâre named Karenâthe internet now associates this name with some women who are entitled and want to speak to everyoneâs managers. Keep in mind that the term 'Karen' isn't meant to insult all women;
it's used to poke fun at super-entitled problematic people
. The Karen meme is the female equivalent of the Kyle meme and you can check out our post about the times that
the internet destroyed fragile masculinity right here
. Now, we know that most women named Karen out there are probably awesome people in real life, but the name has become a part of internet and meme culture.
The âEff You Karenâ subreddit
is one of the places that is dedicated to âthe hatred of Karenâ as they put it. Weâre not fans of hating other people, you canât deny that this online community makes some hilarious Karen content. Weâve collected some of the best Karen memes, so scroll down, upvote your faves, and check out the âEff You Karenâ subreddit when you have the chance.
Bored Panda
reached out to
Matt Schimkowitz, Know Your Meme's Senior Editor
, and spoke with him about Karen memes, and how some people find them offensive and insensitive to women. "As [the meme] grows from a parody of a common social experience of someone demanding to speak to a manager to a statement about white privilege, the stakes over the meaning of the meme grow as well. So I think that users of the meme should be cognizant that what they're meme-ing might not be their intent anymore. It's very possible that the meme could grow even farther to exhibit misogynistic tendencies, which are somewhat already present." Scroll down for the rest of our interview with Matt.
RELATED:
Some people have even stated that Karen memes allegedly promote so-called 'incel culture.' However, Know Your Meme's Senior Editor Matt doesn't believe that this is the case. "I don't think statements about white privilege necessarily align with most of that philosophy. I could see those with sexist beliefs using Karen as a catchall for all women, which is where things get really ugly and suddenly 'Karen,' a meme we all enjoyed and used with abandon is connected to something many would find offensive," he said.
Matt pointed out that most meme humor has a certain level of maliciousness to it. It's an inbuilt 'feature' of memes, in other words. "Meme-ing can be nihilistic artform and rewards really ugly behavior in some cases. Sometimes, what starts as a fairly inoffensive meme can grow into something really hateful, like Pepe the Frog. I could see that happening to Karenâthough, I'm not really sold one way or the other on the debate."
He continued: "Personally, because I'm kind of iffy on the intent of the meme and where it's going, I probably wouldn't call someone a Karen or use the Karen meme, judging the trajectory of its meaning. The meme's meaning will change depending on who is meme-ing it and what their intent is, and that could alter how we all view Karen. As I tell most people, you should always meme with caution. These images, nicknames and jokes frequently have unknown origins and could be connected to some really hateful areas of the internet."
Matt said that it's been hard to pin down the exact origin of the Karen meme. However, he personally thinks that the most convincing origin story is
Dane Cook's 2005 comedy special bit "The Friend That Nobody Likes"
which names Karen as the friend no one likes. "This is one of the earliest examples that we have to using a specific name to stand in for a whole type of person, and it's a comedic trope that we've seen dozens of times over the last 15 years," Matt stated his position.
âEvery group has a Karen and she is always a bag of douche," Cook said during his stand-up routine. âAnd when she's not around, you just look at each other and say, 'God, Karen, she's such a douchebag!'â
One alternative theory is that it all started with the hit 2004 movie Mean Girls (I still rewatch it every year) which had the ditzy and insensitive character, Karen Smith. This sparked the â
Oh My God, Karen, You Canât Just Ask Someone Why They're White
â meme and things snowballed from there.
Another theory about the so-called rise of Karen states that things got started with the character
Karen from 1989âs Goodfellas

He continued: "Personally, because I'm kind of iffy on the intent of the meme and where it's going, I probably wouldn't call someone a Karen or use the Karen meme, judging the trajectory of its meaning. The meme's meaning will change depending on who is meme-ing it and what their intent is, and that could alter how we all view Karen. As I tell most people, you should always meme with caution. These images, nicknames and jokes frequently have unknown origins and could be connected to some really hateful areas of the internet."
Matt said that it's been hard to pin down the exact origin of the Karen meme. However, he personally thinks that the most convincing origin story is [Dane Cook's 2005 comedy special bit "The Friend That Nobody Likes"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_kg0W3AeIU) which names Karen as the friend no one likes. "This is one of the earliest examples that we have to using a specific name to stand in for a whole type of person, and it's a comedic trope that we've seen dozens of times over the last 15 years," Matt stated his position.
âEvery group has a Karen and she is always a bag of douche," Cook said during his stand-up routine. âAnd when she's not around, you just look at each other and say, 'God, Karen, she's such a douchebag!'â

Iâve given myself insulin shots in public and have never had anyone say anything. My stereotype of white women is that they wouldnât notice and if they did, their first impulse would be to, if anything, help and comfort me.

One alternative theory is that it all started with the hit 2004 movie Mean Girls (I still rewatch it every year) which had the ditzy and insensitive character, Karen Smith. This sparked the â[Oh My God, Karen, You Canât Just Ask Someone Why They're White](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXovJSCc6M0)â meme and things snowballed from there.

Another theory about the so-called rise of Karen states that things got started with the character [Karen from 1989âs Goodfellas](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWBBn-QsCAQ).

Yes, very true! One restaurant I worked at...the managers would schedule you on Sunday as a punishment, lol. Like if you were late too many times, they wouldn't fire you, they would schedule you double shifts on Sundays for like a month or so. Sunday crowds are the worst

My perception is that these 'Karens' here in the US are not likely Catholic or Orthodox, so their so-called 'temples' are these repurposed warehouses with non-religious names, but follow a Pietist or Anabaptist theological demagoguery which feeds into their smug self-importance. Hence, 'Karen' is born. -Rev Dr M

My cousin's wife is an anti-vaxx mom. When their oldest turned 14 and could see the doctor by herself, she asked to be vaccinated. She had to wait until she was 16 to make her own medical decisions, but when she turned 16, she went and got vaccinated.

It's not racist if you are referring to behavior. It is racist when (as below) there is a photo of white women doing normal things and you say they are terrible humans.

It's no different than when they go to another country and are upset when natives don't speak English. At least learn how to ask "Do you speak English?" in French/Italian/Spanish, etc

Reportedly. I have lovely grandparents and older relatives who canât figure out their electronics, and sometimes they just want company or an opportunity to talk. The trap usually goes like this: a few sentences complaining about some technical thing and before I know it, itâs been an hour and theyâve pried into my life while distracting me with food.

"Healing crystals" are really expensive but if you go to an actual mineral show where they talk about the science behind these beautiful rock formations, you can find that they don't have any healing properties and that you can buy them for way cheaper because they are supposed to be collected for s c i e n c e.

I joined Bored Panda as an image editor back in 2014, during its early stages. It's been quite a journey since then! Over time, I transitioned through different roles until I eventually became the Content Lead. In this position, I now oversee the creation of the viral content published here on Bored Panda. While my primary focus lies in raising awareness about important social issues like gender and race equality, as well as mental health topics, I also enjoy sharing lighter content, such as memes, cat images and intriguing world curiosities. Outside of work, you'll likely find me engaged in one of five activities: planning a vacation, browsing thrift stores, experimenting in the kitchen, watching movies, or spending quality time with my two cats.

This entire Karen thing started as way to make fun of the over-reacting, outraged middle aged woman that was calling the police for children having a lemonade stand. Now, any time a woman expresses an opinion or has a request, like extra napkins, she is labeled as a "Karen". It is sexist, rude, and insulting. Yeah, I get the joke that this started out to be, but it has evolved into a hatred of women in general. My mother, who would never harm a fly, is 70 years old and was called Karen in Target yesterday for asking for a receipt.

Absolutely agree. Apparently I'm a Karen because I would like to sleep at 3 am. (Neighbours party several times a week, screaming at the top of their lungs and playing music so loudly that I can hear it through my earplugs)

Got an idea from a reddit video. If they are awake at 3 in the morning, means they wake up late. Just program your stereo to blast music when you go to work till noon. Full volume. I suggest a Cotton Eye Joe loop.

That's so not fair! I'm also a 21 year old Karen too apparently because I decided to leave a group of friends early when they invited over more people than what was allowed in our part of the world to deal with coronavirus regulations...

Never called the police, just asked them to be quiet. Police doesn't give a s\*\*t, sadly.

I LOVE that you said this! Been thinking about that myself lately and was wondering if I was the only one! Glad this is becoming realized so much. I deal with WAY more angry entitled men than women at my job, and that's not to say we should insult men next, but just simply that this rude and sexist insult for women having opinions needs to stop\!

The problematic behavior is entitlement. Also from people calling anyone a Karen because they don't feel they actually need to be confronted with their behavior (say playing loud music at 3 am, acting as if giving out a receipt is too much trouble etc). Stereotype Karen feels she is entitled to acting awful when no wrong was done. The post was funny, but I agree with GirlFriday that memes are crossing over to daily life and misused in a hurtful manner. On the other hand, when people do it, it's easy to understand they are idiots.

I feel bad for the people named Karen that have to deal with this, too. This article stated that "Keep in mind that the term 'Karen' isn't meant to insult all women; it's used to poke fun at super-entitled problematic people", yet it's still singling out anyone named Karen. I'm seeing more and more comments from people named Karen that are just very done with this meme, not that they simply don't have a sense of humor of it, but that they are getting bullied due to Karen culture. Most come from genuinely nice Karens, too. This article is just doing more harm than good.

My boss is also a Karen, but completely nothing like a Karen (although she does read the Dail Mail and voted for Brexit because she believed the side of a bus...so maybe there's a bit of Karen in my Karen after all)

I get insulted at work. Most of the time I donât even interact with people. They see my name tag, and walk by saying Karen insults. Some of the memes were funny, but itâs crossed a line to demeaning, bullying and when you hear it several times every day, youâre constantly having your self worth chipped away by strangers telling you how awful you are and the only thing they they know about you is your name. Anyone using a real name as an insult is a bully - because a real person out there hears you and some are taking it personally.

I knew this would be a Jonas article as soon as I read the headline. 89 stereotypes to inflame hatred against women. Am I a Karen for expressing an opinion about this?

To be fair, most of Jonasâ articles here are excellent and Iâm glad there was some discussion of the incel tie-in. We disagree on the Karen subject. I am against the Karen meme because for me it represents hatred of women. Other people with other backgrounds will naturally have other opinions.

I'm thoroughly sick of the Karen meme. It's overused and is disparaging to the subject matter that it is supposedly highlighting. It assumes it's always women and so is a sexist as you can get. Also it must be immensely frustrating to anyone called Karen - I say we stop supporting articles that use it. I for one have not read this article and will not be reading any that perpetuate this meme.

Yes, if there were all these memes about, say, a "Chad" or whatever the male equivalent is? There'd be incels downvoting and ranting. But if we say, "OK, enough, not all women with that haircut are Karens", we're somehow too sensitive. \*sigh\*

This entire Karen thing started as way to make fun of the over-reacting, outraged middle aged woman that was calling the police for children having a lemonade stand. Now, any time a woman expresses an opinion or has a request, like extra napkins, she is labeled as a "Karen". It is sexist, rude, and insulting. Yeah, I get the joke that this started out to be, but it has evolved into a hatred of women in general. My mother, who would never harm a fly, is 70 years old and was called Karen in Target yesterday for asking for a receipt.

Absolutely agree. Apparently I'm a Karen because I would like to sleep at 3 am. (Neighbours party several times a week, screaming at the top of their lungs and playing music so loudly that I can hear it through my earplugs)

Got an idea from a reddit video. If they are awake at 3 in the morning, means they wake up late. Just program your stereo to blast music when you go to work till noon. Full volume. I suggest a Cotton Eye Joe loop.

That's so not fair! I'm also a 21 year old Karen too apparently because I decided to leave a group of friends early when they invited over more people than what was allowed in our part of the world to deal with coronavirus regulations...

I'm seeing more and more comments from people named Karen that are just very done with this meme, not that they simply don't have a sense of humor of it, but that they are getting bullied due to Karen culture. Most come from genuinely nice Karens, too. This article is just doing more harm than good.

My boss is also a Karen, but completely nothing like a Karen (although she does read the Dail Mail and voted for Brexit because she believed the side of a bus...so maybe there's a bit of Karen in my Karen after all)

I get insulted at work. Most of the time I donât even interact with people. They see my name tag, and walk by saying Karen insults. Some of the memes were funny, but itâs crossed a line to demeaning, bullying and when you hear it several times every day, youâre constantly having your self worth chipped away by strangers telling you how awful you are and the only thing they they know about you is your name. Anyone using a real name as an insult is a bully - because a real person out there hears you and some are taking it personally.

I knew this would be a Jonas article as soon as I read the headline. 89 stereotypes to inflame hatred against women. Am I a Karen for expressing an opinion about this?

To be fair, most of Jonasâ articles here are excellent and Iâm glad there was some discussion of the incel tie-in. We disagree on the Karen subject. I am against the Karen meme because for me it represents hatred of women. Other people with other backgrounds will naturally have other opinions.

I'm thoroughly sick of the Karen meme. It's overused and is disparaging to the subject matter that it is supposedly highlighting. It assumes it's always women and so is a sexist as you can get. Also it must be immensely frustrating to anyone called Karen - I say we stop supporting articles that use it. I for one have not read this article and will not be reading any that perpetuate this meme.

I'm with you on this. I've never met any Karen, but I've never liked stereotypes.

Yes, if there were all these memes about, say, a "Chad" or whatever the male equivalent is? There'd be incels downvoting and ranting. But if we say, "OK, enough, not all women with that haircut are Karens", we're somehow too sensitive. \*sigh\*

| Readable Markdown | Life can be tough if youâre named Karenâthe internet now associates this name with some women who are entitled and want to speak to everyoneâs managers. Keep in mind that the term 'Karen' isn't meant to insult all women; [it's used to poke fun at super-entitled problematic people](https://www.insider.com/karen-meme-origin-the-history-of-calling-women-karen-white-2020-5). The Karen meme is the female equivalent of the Kyle meme and you can check out our post about the times that [the internet destroyed fragile masculinity right here](https://www.boredpanda.com/fragile-masculinity/). Now, we know that most women named Karen out there are probably awesome people in real life, but the name has become a part of internet and meme culture.
[The âEff You Karenâ subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/FuckYouKaren/) is one of the places that is dedicated to âthe hatred of Karenâ as they put it. Weâre not fans of hating other people, you canât deny that this online community makes some hilarious Karen content. Weâve collected some of the best Karen memes, so scroll down, upvote your faves, and check out the âEff You Karenâ subreddit when you have the chance.
**Bored Panda** reached out to [Matt Schimkowitz, Know Your Meme's Senior Editor](https://knowyourmeme.com/news/staff/matt-schimkowitz), and spoke with him about Karen memes, and how some people find them offensive and insensitive to women. "As \[the meme\] grows from a parody of a common social experience of someone demanding to speak to a manager to a statement about white privilege, the stakes over the meaning of the meme grow as well. So I think that users of the meme should be cognizant that what they're meme-ing might not be their intent anymore. It's very possible that the meme could grow even farther to exhibit misogynistic tendencies, which are somewhat already present." Scroll down for the rest of our interview with Matt.

RELATED:


Some people have even stated that Karen memes allegedly promote so-called 'incel culture.' However, Know Your Meme's Senior Editor Matt doesn't believe that this is the case. "I don't think statements about white privilege necessarily align with most of that philosophy. I could see those with sexist beliefs using Karen as a catchall for all women, which is where things get really ugly and suddenly 'Karen,' a meme we all enjoyed and used with abandon is connected to something many would find offensive," he said. Matt pointed out that most meme humor has a certain level of maliciousness to it. It's an inbuilt 'feature' of memes, in other words. "Meme-ing can be nihilistic artform and rewards really ugly behavior in some cases. Sometimes, what starts as a fairly inoffensive meme can grow into something really hateful, like Pepe the Frog. I could see that happening to Karenâthough, I'm not really sold one way or the other on the debate."



He continued: "Personally, because I'm kind of iffy on the intent of the meme and where it's going, I probably wouldn't call someone a Karen or use the Karen meme, judging the trajectory of its meaning. The meme's meaning will change depending on who is meme-ing it and what their intent is, and that could alter how we all view Karen. As I tell most people, you should always meme with caution. These images, nicknames and jokes frequently have unknown origins and could be connected to some really hateful areas of the internet." Matt said that it's been hard to pin down the exact origin of the Karen meme. However, he personally thinks that the most convincing origin story is [Dane Cook's 2005 comedy special bit "The Friend That Nobody Likes"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_kg0W3AeIU) which names Karen as the friend no one likes. "This is one of the earliest examples that we have to using a specific name to stand in for a whole type of person, and it's a comedic trope that we've seen dozens of times over the last 15 years," Matt stated his position. âEvery group has a Karen and she is always a bag of douche," Cook said during his stand-up routine. âAnd when she's not around, you just look at each other and say, 'God, Karen, she's such a douchebag!'â



One alternative theory is that it all started with the hit 2004 movie Mean Girls (I still rewatch it every year) which had the ditzy and insensitive character, Karen Smith. This sparked the â[Oh My God, Karen, You Canât Just Ask Someone Why They're White](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXovJSCc6M0)â meme and things snowballed from there. Another theory about the so-called rise of Karen states that things got started with the character [Karen from 1989âs Goodfellas](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWBBn-QsCAQ).
