I surely have encountered "Karen's", but I really dislike that way of thinking of others people. Most of those that label others as Karen's are lacking empathy and or skills how to deescalate, which I find is sad
Just FYI, friend, the apostrophe is a punctuation mark used only to denote possession or missing letters - never plurals, even for proper nouns.
I think that might be part of it, but it think itβs also rooted in sexism. I think people might be intimidated by angry men, whereas they are willing to confront and shame angry women
Edit: lol, I triggered a stalker elsewhere on Lemmy. They made multiple accounts so that everything I comment gets to -5 within minutes
