“Karens” are all over Tik Tok, YouTube, Twitter and Instagram with hashtags like COVIDKaren, GasStationKaren, PermitKaren, KarensGoneWild, and KarenoftheDay. LorraineAli on their cultural significance

Outburst after outburst, the clips have amassed millions of views and triggered a heated debate around the meaning and intention behind the meme. Indeed, a controversy recently erupted over the national obsession with Karen’s eruptions. Several progressives, critics and feminists argue that the internet’s female archetype of white privilege is in itself sexist, part of an age-old effort to shame women who speak out.
