Karen, explained in comic format.
It's hard to explain such a complicated matter in a short comic, for please forgive me for not diving deeper in some nuances.
Also: I am not black, and I'm Canadian, so I'm not an authority on the matter. I just know how to draw. Listen to black voices.
White men: Don't use the term Karen. Coming from you, it's just misogynistic.
Karen is a word coined by people of color, mostly black people, in reaction to acts of racism.
And if you're a white woman campaigning against the use of the term Karen--- wonder why you're not campaigning against the racist acts of the ones that get called Karen.
I feel like I haven't explained myself correctly re: white men who use Karen. Not wanting to remove it from customer service people, it's just that there's a wave of white men who use it to speak of women they don't like.
And since this is getting attention: I've been unemployed since march-- anyone want to hire an illustrator/graphic designer/writer? (I'm in Montréal)
