Referring to Elon Musk as “Space Karen” only makes me think you’re no better than an ignorant child, playing pretend at having opinions about serious issues.

He’s not a fucking dark wizard and this isn’t some shitty piece of fiction.

Say his name next to his actions.

@SimonWoods Right on! It also hooks into subtle sexism — somehow managing to blame females for actions that don’t belong to them at all.

@otaviocc @Miraz Agreed. I’ve been finding that the label “Space Karen” makes me uncomfortable; the sexism and antifeminist implications are probably why.

@artkavanagh @otaviocc @Miraz Also, I know and like a few people named Karen.

When Mitch McConnell was stirring up a lot of anger on the left, my progressive friends would go off on rants about effing Mitch, and I’d be all, “What’d I do?!” for a second.
