Is this real? I thought it was a made up parody. But does everyone film everyone these days?The deevolution of the ‘Karen’ is complete
Edit: To confirm I think the man is obviously poking the bear in this situation but her, “you’re attacking me” is hilarious.
Social Media Justice: A "Karen" faces consequences for threatening a Black man with cops

Then maybe it was some 4D marketing in trying to attract a load of KKK and Alt Right customers?
This is where I thought the discussion would lead in all honesty, I wasn’t expecting so many to be wary cause of the lack of ‘n word’ on video.
Her hysterics are a defence mechanism, & given a video showing about 10 people around her with her still hollering it comes across as her way of not actually dealing with the situation at hand.
We can’t definitively see what caused the video but she seems far more worried about her reputation than anything else.
Yep, 5D chess.
This one definitely feels off, I'm not jumping on the "fecking Karen" bangwagon like I have with the others.
I thought that Wights were dead or undead rather so how can their lives matter if they are dead/undead? Aren't their lives over? .
Man tells hysterical woman don't worry, he's not going to put it on Instagram. Not only puts it on Instagram but is even selling T-shirts about it.
There's a cruelty about this incident which is disproportionate to the offence, in my view.

I read the same article.
Damn, quite the read.
Agreed. He is twisting the knife.
Doesnt make good reading for him.
So Karen or nah?

This clip from last month was an eye-opener. Why on earth would the lady at the restaurant say "whatever n****r' to him in that particular setting? Doesn't make sense.
So the guy is a Trump fan. 
I'm curious to see the reactions to these breaking news.
I'm curious to see the reactions to these breaking news.Yeah kinda shitty about meme/clickbait culture are those chasing clout for their insta-stories. With all the real and very horrendous examples or racism, you'll get the occasional Jussie Smollett so its important to not always deploy the pitchforks too quickly
Well, just one fake story a) gives ammunition to people who want to disprove true and important stories and b) ruins lives. I can't imagine what it's like to be doxxed.
She's hysterical, highly strung, and overly emotional.
I wouldn't call her a Karen, though.
A Karen specifically exists at the high privilege intersection between white race, female gender, middle class, middle age and self righteous politics. And they use that high privilege to domineer and condescend to people who they see as inferior.
I see no evidence of Karen-ness from the woman in question. Yes, she cries for sympathy. But I think lots of women would do that in this circumstance. It's not a tactic that's exclusive to Karens.
She is having a panic attack.
Decent shout. That's a reasonable possibility.
"Do your thing Twitter" is gonna lead to someone topping themselves eventually, if it hasn't already.
I think August Ames (former pornstar) killed herself because of twitter abuse.

Interesting read and looks like there's definitely more than meets the eye with this, but also an incredible amount of ignorance, white privilege and whitesplaining displayed by the writer.

Karlos coming across as a bit of an opportunist. The worst kind if all these claims are true.
Supposed to be a really good documentary about that. She refused to perform with an actor who had previously done gay porn and twitter went after her.
I know people mention that twitter is a hyperactive echo-chamber that doesn't allow nuanced debate but a significant number of people on there, more than usual for these sort of public shaming events are blaming the guy as a grifter
I've seen the original video being shared all over Facebook and the reactions are as expected when people see the "Karen" title.
It just shows how gullible a majority of humans are (no matter the race, nationality, gender, etc.) and how easy it is to manipulate by using current events that create strong division and emotion in people.

What do they mean by that?
On the subject of social media going against type, am I the only one who finds his decision to go with an Instagram story as his public shaming tool of choice a little unusual?
Writer does his best to destroy the black guy's character without proving any of his own assertions. Thats what I read.
Oldest and crudest trick in the book when trying to reduce credibility of a person of colour.
I don’t know what happened. But anyone that treats someone in that level of distress, like that... is a cnut. feck them.
Just because you (May) have right on your side, doesn’t allow you to treat another like a punchbag.
feck all garbage people.
An opportunistic con artist or swindler. Basically exploited the very real cultural moment people are having in terms of calling out problematic behaviour to gain viral fame by making hyperbolic or untrue accusations.
If you frame something a certain way, people can be conned. I mean in general not just with regards this latest incident.
There is a famous story about a kid in school who gave a presentation about how dangerous the chemical "dihydrogen monoxide" is. "It can burn you as a gas. It causes global warming. It erodes granite." The student said this as a presentation and all the other students agreed. But dihydrogen monoxide is just another name for water.
The moral is, if you frame something a certain way, you can determine how people react.
Thanks.
Not all Karen’s are white. Or female. Or middle class. Or middle age.
It’s the entitlement and attitude that defines.
I'd imagine that instagram stories being short (max 15 seconds) would make a certain moment or comment go viral and more likely to spark outrage. In this instance her screaming out "i have a black husband" is the part that sparked the trending topic with outrage and hot takes started there.
Whereas when people saw the rest of the stories and gained a bigger picture more skepticism evolved around the situation
The article says 'he has no proof to say if it happened or not' before then launching a staunch opinion piece on why it didn't happen, despite zero proof. Destroying his character while painting her as the poor victim. It's really actually a shocking read on second viewing. Whether she said it or not is a story on its own, but the logical fallacies and mental gymnastics on display in this article have nothing to do with whether or not she said it, and just serve to take a side despite zero evidence either way.
No, that's exactly what Karens are.
Entitlement is a different matter. Give people with that attitude a different name, if you like.
