Karens can now ‘speak to the manager’ with their own action figure
The Karens of the world can rejoice as their difficult-to-digest persona now comes in the form of a toy.The K-name has been coopted to call out many a “white-lady-with-a-bone-to-pick” socio-cultural faux pas online, spurring slangy put-downs like “Calm down, Karen.”Karens often demand to “speak to the manager” and act entitled beyond the scope of what is normal.Pennsylvania-based toy company Namespace unveiled plans to produce 3¾-inch tongue-in-cheek action figures depicting the problematic Karens of the world.What’s more, the action figure will be sold along with an overworked “Joe the Manager” figure for the bob-cut action figure to hurl insults at.“We’re looking for fun even in uncertain times like these,” said Matt Jacquot, Namespace sales manager.
