I’m going to bring this up -here- rather than setting up a third thread on the topic, but I disagree (very politely) with @Aspenglow’s moderation in the thread that spawned this one. Specifically: > [@The Rise of “Karens”?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-rise-of-karens/987320/214): > > I have not reviewed the 200+ posts in this thread to determine where and when exactly it went off the rails to become a duplicate thread as the one in ATMB, but there seems to be a general recognition among posters that it has. But the fact is, the discussion on appropriateness started at or before post #21, which predates THIS THREAD by 3 days. And it was an ongoing part of the thread ever since. Now, as I said, this is most mild possible criticism of the moderation, and absolutely not worth starting yet another thread about, but I wanted to point out this thread is the duplicate if anything. Or rather, it’s a request by the OP that in light of the spawning thread for the mods to take action on the language in question. Again, just my $0.02. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/resolved-that-using-karen-as-a-pejorative-is-off-limits/987430)._
