how long before there is a movement on behalf of women named Karen to quit using their name in an unflattering way?  how many cities will burn in the name of justice for Karens?

honestly when ever I hear this used this way,  I still think of it as the Karens that were indigenous to Thailand and Burma.

just had this conversation with my wife yesterday. 

Is her name Karen?

Nope but my BIL is Kevin!!

Why are the Karens always these white women, age 38-55? What are they so angry and scared about? I mean, they lose their shit. Are they waiting for their Xanax refills? Get a grip ladies.

Domino's New Zealand stops giving free pizzas to 'Karens' after backlash(CNN Business) — Domino's in New Zealand has pulled a promotion offering free pizzas for "great" people named Karen following a backlash. 
The pizza chain launched the promotion in New Zealand and Australia earlier this week, saying all "mask wearing, law abiding Karens... that aren't, well, 'Karens'" were eligible to enter online for a chance to win a free pizza. 
But after it received complaints that the promotion was insensitive it pulled the offer from New Zealand and apologized in a Facebook post on Wednesday.
In popular internet culture, the name "Karen" has come to be used as a pejorative term to refer to white women who are ignorant of their privilege and are offensive and entitled.

"It's a tough time to be a Karen," the chain said on its social channels Tuesday, before offering free pizza to people named Karen who were not "Karens."

In a press release issued on Tuesday in Australia, Domino's said the word had become "quite the insult to anyone actually named Karen" and "synonymous with anyone who is entitled, selfish and likes to complain.""Well, today we're taking the name Karen back," the statement added, saying Domino's wanted to "celebrate all the great Karens out there." 

Missed the mark
However, the promotion prompted a flurry of responses online from people who said Domino's had not hit the right tone, and instead should focus on real minorities, the vulnerable, and marginalized groups.
"Seriously? There are 1,000,000 people unemployed," one person tweeted.Another person said that there were "genuinely" marginalized people who should be recognized. "This misses the mark completely. Give pizza to people in poverty, people who can't get a wage subsidy... people who are ACTUALLY struggling," the person commented.In response, Domino's New Zealand apologized on Facebook, writing in a post: "We are sorry. Throughout Covid-19 we've tried to bring a smile to customers faces, with our pizza and our social media."The chain said it had decided to delete its post in the country because "people interpreted this in a different way than we intended" in New Zealand.
"Our intention was one of inclusivity only. Our pizza brings people together and we only had this at the heart of the giveaway. We want you to know that we are always listening and learning and when we get it wrong, we fix it," it said in the post.

The promotion still appears to be live across Domino's social channels in Australia. CNN has contacted Domino's Australia for comment.
