Karen and gammon memes
 

What are the views on this...

I was dead against it at first but after speaking to my kids about it I get it. I've met loads...they exist, why deny it?

It’s always the “freedom of speech” brigade who seem to be offended by them most

Dang, I thought this was gonna be a thread for sharing the best ones :joker:

But yeah they're fine :joker: all stereotypes are ripe for mockery, and getting offended by them is Peak Karen(tm)

I think they're funny as long as they're only making fun of mean entitled people.

Not a big fan of stereotyping anyone in general, of course there are people who fit the criteria that is the whole point of a stereotype in the first place, but that doesn't make it right does it?

I have been accused on here of being a 'Karen' by someone with no sense :hee:

Well at least you know what a Karen is.😂

well I do now I didn't when it happened :hehe:

Same smudgie,I have no idea either,kind of glad really:wavey:

This

We love wild Karen sightings

My general thoughts are that tongue-in-cheek is one thing, but actual spiteful "twitter style" trolling is... Well it's annoying and pathetic whatever form it takes. When I see someone trying to shut down an argument with a parroted one-word comeback it only makes me think less of that person :shrug:.

Meh

"Okay Boomer" :hehe:

Boomers are different, anyone can be a boomer apparently, but only karens can be karen.

It's very complex :)

Unless you use Reddit they can't still be a thing in 2020?

:oh:

I'm basically a boomer despite being in my twenties - I liike old shows and movies and music, and I'm a bit of a fuddyduddy :laugh:

Reddit is a symptom, other symptoms include: unironically saying "Okay Boomer", or calling someone an incel or an SJW :laugh:

Why is no one posting images?

Actually anybody can be a Karen, Karen is a mindset

thank you Karen

the Karen meme explained here

I’m not a Karen, I’m a peace lover who doesn’t shout at people in parks

:laugh:

who stereotypically had "speak to the manager" haircuts — acting entitled in public. Now, it's used as an identifier for any white woman who acts inappropriately, rudely, or in an entitled fashion.

No one has those now unless they have been illegally having the mobile hairdresser round :hee:

Yes the USA Karen
in Central Park in NYC
in a Panic as a Black man is near her.


She was meant to have her dog on a lead.


Racist thoughts in her head

It loosely just refers to entitled white women who like to complain about everything (and feel like they should be taken more seriously than others) but the nuances get complicated.

For example, there are plenty of male Karens. And more than a few female Gammons.

Funnily enough, one of the biggest Karens I've ever known was an Indian man. A rather wealthy one, so I guess wealth privilege comes into it to some extent.

Husband and wife Karen duos are the best

Yeah it's more of an undue sense of entitlement rather than a race or gender thing, but "Karen" just encapsulates it so well :laugh:

:joker:

you been drinking ha...is that you TiBB

He was just a twat... He wasn't a Karen.

Look at you insisting that men be karens, lol

I haven't seen many, tbh.

I guess they're used to stereotype right-leaning people, just like the word 'snowflake' is used to stereotype the left?

I'm all for equality Kizzy, you know fine well we have ample chunks of femme gammon right here on TiBB :hee:. Stop being such a Karen.

So there IS a section of people that it's okay to stereotype!

I'm sure the white people worrying about whether blackface can ever be funny are the same ones endorsing this as 'fine'.

I was waiting for that, because I suggested an Asian man can't be a karen, I'm a Karen? Lol.

I don't believe women can be gammon either, only socialisation produces these types, it's a whole life process imo. For instance a little boy is influenced a certain way, by his parents he seeks out peers with similar views as friends, joins the military. Reads and watches certain papers and media, avid sports fan and drinker. And they are white.

For me the female equivalent of gammon is karen.


Love your sig btw :)

Not sure how you equate a stereotype with blackface.. you have a go, I can't.

Isn't blackface the epitome of a stereotype? Isn't that what blackface IS?
