#2'Karen' has become a de-facto racist dog-whistle meaning 'white woman'.
If it was merely about the entitled attitude there should be plenty examples of black 'Karens'. There are none, that's why it's a 100% racist term against white people.

It's more obviously sexist than racist, and more obviously harmful to actual people named Karen.
It's Reddit garbage talk that should stay on Reddit and die.

It’s absolutely awful. Imagine being named Karen.
There are shrill self absorbed people of all genders and races. We need a better term.

#8I just do not get the appeal of being on Nextdoor - I guess there's some value in actual important announcements (I found a lost dog once and my roommate who's on there found a post about it and got in touch with the owner, which was cool), but from what I've seen on my very brief time on there, those are drowned out by ridiculous nonsense. It seems like the people who are on there self-select to the ones in a given neighborhood who are the least informed but have the most time on their hands.

#9Yet another example of how companies that try to shy away from the responsibility of providing any sort of moderation will ultimately create a fertile ground for racists and worse.
