Falling away with you
It’s hard to explain such a complicated matter in a short comic, so please forgive me for not diving deeper in some nuances. Also: I am not black, and I’m Canadian, so I’m not an authority on the matter. I just know how to draw. Listen to black voices.
White men: Don’t use the term Karen. Coming from you, it’s just misogynistic. Karen is a word coined by people of color, mostly black people, in reaction to acts of racism.
And if you’re a white woman campaigning against the use of the term Karen— wonder why you’re not campaigning against the racist acts of the ones that get called Karen.
(please don’t repost this comic on twitter or instagram, i posted it myself on both)
As a retail worker, I think the term Karen has shifted over into this other meaning so seamlessly because it is, as it’s core, the exact same concept: people (specifically white women, usually over 30) who abuse their societal privilege with reckless, often malicious self-entitlement, who play the helpless victim in the same breath as they swear at and threaten and demean others in order to get what they want, no matter what expense that may entail or how ridiculous it makes them look.
However, under this new meaning in the context of racism, instead of wanting to get a discount, they’re wanting to enact harm on someone who is part of a group they don’t like, and instead of calling the manager they call the cops.
And instead of getting someone fired they have the power to get them killed.
And they know that.
