Dear dang,

A Karen is no more an inappropriate slur than many other useful words and phrases that are negative, such as goody-two-shoes, busybody, bully, crank, etc.

I don’t see how it helps to ban negative words.

It's a misogynistic slur, used in place of calling a women the b-word or a c-word.

Dang is totally in the right to scold people for saying this.
