    This Karen is an asshole, but so are the supermarkets who collude on prices and collectively steal from everyone else just because they can.

      I hear you suggesting that makes it okay.

      If so, how much theft are you cool with subsidizing?

        Did they change their comment or something because no part of what they say is claiming to be ok with this? Perhaps I’m reading it wrong

      I immediately think less of anyone who uses Karen as an adjective.

      It’s a pretty good litmus test for identifying people who are chronically reddit-brained.

        I immediately think less of anyone who doesn’t know the difference between a noun and an adjective.

          Calling someone ‘a’ Karen is using the word as an adjective.

          Calling someone ‘Karen’ is using it as a proper noun.

          I’m guessing you just looked at the upvoted comment that said it’s not an adjective and assumed it was correct.

          For shame.
