I went to a Dollar Store the other day and heard someone yelling by the cash register. Apparently, there was a Karen there telling the cashier this: "My son works here! Why shouldn't I get stuff for free?" She was also constantly screaming the most stupid things. She said she was the reason her son worked there and helped the store earn money, and if she didn't raise him then they wouldn't have 'such a great worker' at their store. While this was happening, I watched from behind a shelf and nearly choked to death because of how hard I was trying not to burst out laughing. The Karen then snatched a shampoo bottle (strange thing to steal, if you ask me), and tried to run out of the door while an embarrassed son watched from behind the register. She didn't get out and the police were called, so everything turned out fine.

Generally for me it's the "religious-right" Karens who are obsessed with gender-policing other people's lives in the name of tradition while they enjoy rights that were not available only a few generations ago because of these same "traditional values".
But more specifically; MIL one time asked me to help her handle some heavy thing she wanted to return to a Lowe's store under the pretense this was "all worked out, she just couldn't lift it"...NOPE! she began her public melt-down about the return then, with me there as an unwilling associate.

Ugh not sure if this counts as a Karen, but that LatestFad troll who’s been stalking the internet recently. The way they go on about the Dutch transgender study “Great news from a 15 year long study out of the Netherlands. “The Dutch study has confirmed that “transgenderism” among teens is largely a fad. Researchers have found that most teens who experience “gender dysphoria”, eventually outgrew it ( with many resolving larger mental health issues), and felt well adjusted by early adulthood”. Obviously something that all unindoctrinated people have known all along. Teens of every generation have had fads that they wanted to be a part of. This is no different..”


My lovely pandas, that is a lie. And they sound like an anti vaccine person too.


This is the reality:
"The Amsterdam Cohort of Gender Dysphoria Study (1972-2015): Trends in Prevalence, Treatment, and Regrets" REGRETS. some stuff from the abstract: "The sample under study consisted of 1072 adolescents (404 assigned males, 668 assigned females, mean age 14.6 years, and range 10.1-18.1 years)", so its not that much people, are all pretty young. Here's the link: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29463477/!


Here’s another link: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31473831/

the most important part from their results state: "Only 0.6% of transwomen and 0.3% of transmen who underwent gonadectomy were identified as experiencing regret.” 17 published professionals have research that directly goes against @Latest Fad in the SAME STUDY they tried to cite


I’m sorry for this kinda unrelated to the topic, this kind of backwards thinking just makes me really angry
