      I'm old enough to have watched the evolution of "Karen".
      It was coined online by millennials, pre-social media, and explicitly referred to women with too-high standards for commercial service ... from the perspective of inexperienced and lazy youths in the service industries.
      Because of the demographic shifts in America, as the term slid into use by GenZ, it took on a racial element, because young people in the 21st Century are increasingly not white. They are no less OBNOXIOUS than previous generations of American youth, but now they could blame all criticism on older women's racism. Very convenient!
      And for every video of a disturbed woman holding up a cellphone, remember that we have evidence of that only because the "victim" is also aggressively documenting the interaction.
      How do we enforce a common standard of decency in society without calling out the obnoxiousness of youth? Just because the outlier events blowup online doesn't mean there isn't a legitimate need to call out cultural disintegration.

      @TheReaverOfDarkness 3 місяці тому +9

      I am still to this day surprised by how most people know of Isis exclusively as the terrorist group. It's like they never heard the term before seeing it on the news. I had a Dagger of Isis once, and I have long been fond of Isis and Osiris mythology. I knew of at least one person named Isis. This was all before that terrorist group had even been formed. I'm not even that old, I'm a millennial.

      Yeah. Like, she's pretty common in media. She's in Age of Mythology, I assume she's in Smite and Fate. Probably Percy Jackson as well. Apparently there's a band called Isis - I think I'd heard of it before. Plus I'm pretty sure we covered Egyptian mythology, or at least a simplified version of it, at some point in grade school Social Studies.
