[@p__kingg]

There is already a movie that's LITERALLY EXACTLY LIKE THIS..... Except it's from the perspective of a conservative black cop who lives in Southern California.... And his disdain for a younger mixed couple that move in the neighborhood. Its called LAKEVIEW TERRACE... With actual great and talented actors in it... And I THINKS ITS A GREAT MOVIE...as Samuel Jackson does a phenomenal job playing the COP. And the one white dude whos in all the conjuring movies does an even greater job playing a 40-something liberal white guy who's unaware of his subtle racism at times just due to his innate white privilege he was unconsciously born into. I mean they almost steal the movie scene by scene.. as he sees them moving in and is upset at the mere fact they're a mixed couple...and does the passive aggressive introduction and then EVEN catches the guy smoking (a cigarette) in his car while listening to 90s hip-hop.. down to them getting intimate in their pool and Samuel Jackson being able to see... And instead of a CAMERA he installs a light .. then they (the couple) install a light to counter Samuel Jacksons.. i mean honestly A DIRECT LIFT from the movie.....except this is a b movie from a, b cable channel... For people who actually enjoy B CONTENT. The director/ author of the screenplay ALREADY KNOWS that theyre plagiarizing Lakeview Terrace ...and the channel is funding it...so i think they were conscious of the mid level of fhe filmmaking they were doing when this was in production. I never knew this movie existed until tonight and i see the reviews but CMON... Im almost positive NO ONE INCLUDING the people responsible for making the movie... Actually took this movie seriously. So id personally take it with a HUUGE grain of SALT. 🧂

A movie like Karen had potential to show the subtly of modern racism. But they were so on the nose 💀

[@spaghettifieddude]

It could have had a more relatable character figuring out how much of how they think is connected to racist ideas we all learn growing up, maybe even the trauma that influenced certain behavior. Not even just focusing on blackness, but minority treatment in general, and how being black effects that in a Karen's eyes. It could have been an entertaining way to create conversation and educate many, but no, we got.. this....

@@ereristark425 It's a love/hate relationship with folks who grow up with extreme seasonal change. On the one hand, you don't get summer weather as often so when you have it you tend to make the most of it, appreciate it, anticipate it when it's coming. On the other hand, you eventually just WISH for an end to the constant sweating because your body isn't acclimated enough to hot temperatures. Lol Winter and Autumn can be fun, the aesthetics are nice and falling snow is magical, you can wear layers comfortably, but on the other hand, cold and snow can get really old really fast. Lol especially snow removal and sub-zero temps. Sucks all the fun out. 😆 The idea of seasons is awesome, but after spending some winter months in the desert, I've learned that i cannot stand winter in the north anymore. In the US, there's really only one area in the Southwest you can go and truly live comfortably climate-wise in the coldest months. But the desert can still acquire a chill at night. In February of this year, all of New Mexico was below freezing. That's when Texas had their weather emergency.

[@screamingopossum7809]

@@tyem4810 If you kept up to date with the promotion of the movie in general it very much was a "Black Vs White" mentality where the character of Karen was playing the role of "every white person ever", because we all know the stereotype of a white person is "They raycist". A lot of the promotion for the movie was very much that mentality of "The stereotypical white person is racist. We're just going to call her Karen to cover our tracks." A Karen is an entitled person that asks for the manager when they don't get their way. A Karen is a Karen regardless of skin colour. This woman isn't a "Karen" by the slang term, she's just a racist named Karen. You've also got the "all southern people are racist" stereotype with the fact that they're in the south. It's a stereotype, not reality. People regardless of where they live, for whatever reason, can be racist. Where a person lives does not dictate whether or not they are racist. I have met and seen PLENTY of racists of all skin tones in NYC and California. Where a person lives does not dictate whether or not they're an asshole. If you want to stop racism, you can't continue to perpetuate it and continue the cycle. We need to stop the stereotypes of many kinds. While I'll agree that being blind to racism isn't the answer, going out of our way to be racist because we're angry at the ACTUAL problem isn't the answer either.

@@screamingopossum7809 The avg white person is racist. Racism doesn’t always mean you throw racial slurs and threaten POC lives. Most Americans are racist and are taught not to challenge racism. You are lost if you think white people have the right to be mad that they are “stereotyped” as racist. There are entire towns of racist people who lynch black people to this day. Seven hundred one native women are missing in Wyoming alone, no news coverage fr. White people created the system of racism and are the sole benefactors of it. Everyone can perpetuate racism, and most black people have to deal with internalized racism, other poc perpetuate racism towards black people and face prejudice from white people and other groups, your assumption that most white people in this country aren’t racist is simply inaccurate. Why are y’all let off that easy? Y’all did this.

Well let's not pretend at all. Taryn Manning _is_ an actress and has been for over 20 years, she's been in quite a lot of movies and TV shows and she's done other stuff too. (...also a producer for 'Karen'...) That being said, yeah I don't get how no conversation would be had while filming this kind of movie either. The director either couldn't care less as long as it got done so he could milk the money out of the theme, or maybe he knew she wouldn't listen, or maybe, who knows, people might have been afraid of her reactions? Because apparently, on top of her... beliefs, from what I read on Wikipedia, she apparently got arrested for assaulting her assistant, then arrested for violating a restraining order and making criminal threats against girlfriend, accused of attacking another girlfriend and there's more legal and personal mess.
