re: #304 Hecuba’s daughter

I iz confused. We seem to be using the name Karen now for someone who used to be called Becky. Wasn’t Becky the term for someone who was offended by minorities engaging in legal activities? When did Becky morph into Karen?

Eh, best explanation I’ve ever seen is that a “Becky” is someone who’s clueless about their privilege and their prejudice, while a “Karen” is someone who’s aware of their privilege and chooses to weaponize it.

So yeah, in this particular situation, she’d be better labeled a “Becky.”
