Please forgive my ignorance. But what is the "becky" meme? To what stereotype does she supposedly represent? Is it from "Becky with the good hair" from the Beyonce song?

Like most slang it's taken from AAVE. The Beyonce song is probably where most white people first heard the term, but it predates that.

It's a thing: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/kyle

e.g.:


and the IOSM examples:




Which is why I don't think Kyle is the male Karen. Kyle is a permanently pissed loser who can only lash out at inanimate objects. A male Karen is a power-mad middle manager or small business owner who thinks everyone beneath him should grateful to him for whatever he believe he does for them. Also, his name is most likely Paul.

Edit: Kyles are Karens' son

Who are misunderstood, and such a nice boy that Karen will never believe they did that to that girl, no matter what the DNA, CCTV, and witness testimony says. (The girl was a slut anyways.)

(is that the right stereotype for Kyle? A frat boy who punches walls?)

Kyle's aren't necessarily rapists, just angry young men who drink too much Monster and watch too much MMA

I was thinking more a hot couch guy than a frat boy, but Karens would do that if their Kyle raped someone.

So we've finally worked ourselves around to the usual IOSM resolution to all social justice arguments: the people who brought up the issue are exactly right, but I'm still going to act like they're being crazy and unreasonable. :smug:

What no they aren’t.

Why would you completely ignore my argument.

My whole point is saying something is bad because it could be bad in some other hypothetical is stupid.

It’s the technically correct argument.

Though I will admit I’m not acting like it’s crazy and unreasonable.

It is crazy and unreasonable.

The “what’s the male Karen?” thing is dumb in the same way that conservatives try to force humor with “thing, but conservative”. You can’t just take a thing and say “thing, but male” and have it take off in the same way, because it’s just completely different.

Edit: male version of bbq Becky is George Zimmerman, if that helps.
