I'm not really supposed to start new Threads anymore, but the Negative Karen Fad really irks me. I hate the Negative Karen Fad, and it honestly should have fallen out of fashion by now like so many other fads did. Karen is my actual name, not River, so I feel offended when my name, which was common, popular, and normal growing up now has a negative connation to it. 😩

Karen is still a common name. They won't know WHICH Karen started it. 😉 Alec Baldwin's gun should have been CGI. Would have prevented the tragedy. Facts.

It hurts when it's YOUR name being used as a derogatory insult. They should have went with a name that's made up like Cranedy. Alec Baldwin's gun should have been CGI.

They should have went with a name that's made up like Cranedy. Some given names have meanings other than identification. For example: John ... toilet; George ... generous tipper at a casino; Jake ... fine, i.e. "Everything's jake."
