#nevermind the fact that a snapshot of her expression isn’t representative of her emotions in the moment nor what was causing those emotions

The harm the Karen meme has done to women is honestly beyond description
#it’s hyperbole but I am being genuine#cause the way karen has evolved from ‘middle age white women having a tantrum over the smallest mishap’#to ‘women (still primarily white) reacting negatively to literally anything’ has affected the way people respond to women’s emotions#it has provided a new avenue for people to dismiss womens feelings whenever those feelings become inconvenient#like I’ve seen people call a women a Karen because in a candid photo of her taken without her consent she looked annoyed#nevermind the fact that a snapshot of her expression isn’t representative of her emotions in the moment nor what was causing those emotions#annoyance is a valid response to someone taking your photo with permission especially if it’s a stranger#like people have had their lives ruined because of a photo someone took of them (mary ann vecchio I remember you)#but some people really enjoy street photography and don’t want to grapple with ethics of it#so when a women reacts negatively to being the subject it’s easier to label her a Karen then to examine the morality of the thing they enjoy#more tragically though I’ve seen the Karen meme affect the way women responds to negative circumstances#like I’ve seen women afraid to correct mistakes or report abusive behaviour because they don’t want to be a karen’#which breaks my heart as it can already be difficult enough to speak up when something is wrong even with the fear of being viewed as a kare#I’m writing an essay at this point but to summarize karen meme bad
