There are some who believe the ‘Karen’ meme, which spread virally in the late 2010s, is sexist and ageist. However, much of the internet sees the meme for what it is often intended to be—satire.
The BBC reports that stereotypical ‘Karens’ (again, not actually people with that name) would be people who look down on service industry workers, are suspicious of vaccines, and are known to make racist micro-aggressions.
They’re also known for ‘weaponizing’ their privilege, calling the authorities or asking to see someone’s manager at the drop of a hat, and making up lies about other people to try to get their way.

The first theory is that the ‘angry Karen’ stereotype became a thing thanks to the globally popular teenage movie Mean Girls, released in 2004. In it, one character, Karen Smith asks Cady Heron, “So if you’re from Africa, why are you white?” In response, Karen’s friend Gretchen Wieners, tells her, “Oh my God, Karen, you can’t just ask someone why they’re white.”
In 2017, there was a dedicated subreddit focused on calling out ‘Karens.’ And in 2018, Saturday Night Live even ran a segment about ‘Karens’ with actor Chadwick Boseman.
