With Friends Like Kevin...

The title of this video, "Man Gets SASSY as Karen Coworker Shields Him At WORK," convinced me to unsub from this channel.  The whole "Karen" meme is a conversation ender for me, especially the way it's used here.  "Karen" is code for "Shut up, white woman."  I stop listening to Kevins who dally in "Karen" Valley like pigs roll in slop.  He can fuck straight off.

Here's my basic question about "Karen" once again:  What's different about white women than every other demographic, that makes it okay to give them a nickname based on race and gender when you don't like their behavior?  Why don't you do that for any other demographic group?  Why are you so comfortable doing it to "Karen" when you wouldn't do it to any other group?  What's different about white women than every other kind of human?

Are white women so much worse than every demographic that this demonization is required to maintain civic order?  We all need to be on the lookout for Karen?  And are you so much more virtuous than every white woman, on such higher moral ground by birth, that you're the one to change her name and put her in her place because she spoke?  You're the arbiter of decency who keeps Karen in check?   How so?  Who checks you?

That's the way these Kevins are rolling in this video.  I didn't even watch it.  But I can see that they felt the need to put his coworker on blast about the skin she woke up in, unlike everybody else who does the same thing because they don't understand what's going on.  That happens often enough in these videos.  They surprise people at work.

The first time I watched their content, I thoroughly enjoyed the interrogation, which was followed by an arrest of someone who would otherwise have gone on chatting with minors unabated.

As I watched more of the content, however, I became increasingly uncomfortable with how exploitative and frankly full of shit the boys are.  Their moral high ground is only a half step above the pedos they track down, basically.  Their mockery is barely restrained.  They're obviously playing to an audience the whole time.   While the people they're talking to are awful, I don't like them, either. They believe themselves much nicer guys than they actually are.

So while I do appreciate that the end result is a net positive, I still feel exploited by assholes, basically.  There are a lot of things I appreciate about people who spend their time hunting down pedophiles.  But if they aren't willing to address their own blazing misogyny at very basic levels, fuck them.

The other problem is that they won't address this because their audience, the people they're shilling merch to on Rumble, are the same Kevins who are all about the outrage porn about all the rapey stuff in Ukraine and Gaza.  They won't STFU about that no matter how much I ask them to.  It's all "in the name of" people like me, I don't get it.  And if people like me don't like the way the righteous Kevins talk about it, we can shut the fuck up, Karen.
