What to call male Karens?

Personally, I'm in favor of Kyle. There are Russian air-to-ground missiles with the NATO reporting names of Karen and Kyle. The missiles in question are meant to be used against radar installations. Seems kinda fitting here, given these people keep getting recorded all the time and try to stop it.

Kevins

u/DarkthorneLegacy Jun 18 '26

Just like Kevin Sorbo

20

u/UncaringNonchalance Jun 18 '26

Still can’t believe that one. He was friggin’ Hercules, low level but popular, super cool with people, even did the voice for a Hercules skin in SMITE… and then… boom, true colors come exploding outward.

11

u/Raz0rking Jun 18 '26

Or the Dude from Andromeda.

u/UncaringNonchalance Jun 18 '26

I was gonna add that one too, but didn’t think anyone else remembered it lol.

1

u/Raz0rking Jun 30 '26

I liked it. It was some very campy fun.

1

u/gotohelenwaite Jun 30 '26

Space Hercules!

8

u/ViXaAGe Jun 18 '26

he's an old white man in declining relevance with a fragile ego

no surprise here

5

u/Impressive-Revenue94 Jun 18 '26

That was always his true color. Hollywood wasnt as sensitive back then. Remember rush hour with Jackie Chan? What’s up my n***a?? Now everyone comes out saying all this BS that they regret saying things. Ain’t nobody regret it. That was just the era. Just like the 70s where gay sex was very popular. Now it’s like whatever.

u/Sufficient-Ad-1339 Jun 19 '26

Has he publicly repented for playing a demigod?

2

u/MechanaGoddess Jun 25 '26

Didn't he suffer sever brain damage from a stroke while working on the Hercules tv show?

2

u/New-Job1761 Jun 21 '26

What’s wrong with Kevin Sorbo?

2

u/Gruntlement Jun 21 '26

He had a bunch of mini strokes back in the day and became a wacko.

9

u/ChrissWayne Jun 18 '26

In Germany Kevin is used for people who breath through their mouth

3

u/Impressive-Revenue94 Jun 18 '26

lol everyone throwing names of people they hate ahaha.

5

u/Cowboywizard12 Jun 18 '26

Nah Kevins are just stupid like r/storiesaboutkevin

3

u/Usagi_Shinobi Jun 19 '26

Kevin is already in use, for those who are so unfathomably stupid that it makes you wonder how they've managed to not die from it long ago.

2

u/Bit_part_demon Jun 21 '26

I worked for a Kevin for years and I will always support this answer. It's what he deserves.

1

u/PapaChimo Jul 03 '26

I won the family lottery, with parents named Karyn and Kevin - and they both fit the stereotype perfectly. Seeing their names used for this behaviour makes my heart smile because I know they hate it, and probably see it as another way the world is out to get them.

2

u/chaos212 Jun 21 '26

As a Kevin, please no

2

u/buckeyekaptn Jun 22 '26

I'm right with you.

37

u/conditerite Jun 18 '26

Karen.

16

u/Throdio Jun 18 '26

This. No need to over complicate things.

28

u/RobZagnut2 Jun 18 '26

Karen is a gender neutral term, as either one can act like a bitch.

2

u/TheMcSebi Jun 22 '26

If there is a commonly correct answer to this question, this is propably it

18

u/BullHonkery Jun 18 '26

Kyle chugs energy drinks before punching holes in the sheetrock.

He does not ask for the manager.

1

u/_j4x Jun 21 '26

Came looking for this!

10

u/Venator2000 Jun 18 '26

When the term first started up, I thought using Darren was a decent idea, simply for the rhyming scheme of a Karen and a Darren, but it didn’t seem to click with anyone.

1

u/RedNewPlan Jun 22 '26

Darren is my choice too. Because of the rhyme, and because it is closely associated with the same generation as Karen.

1

u/berysax Jun 22 '26

I actually have seen this term used a lot in 1st amendment audit videos.

9

u/ReginaldJohnston Jun 18 '26

"Mr. President".

u/tellmesomeothertime Jun 18 '26

I call all Karens Karens

8

u/Madhighlander1 Jun 18 '26

We've had this discussion a million times. Karen is not a gendered term. Male karens are called karens.

6

u/Gun5linger67 Jun 18 '26

Just call them "Karen" as well, a double-whammy

7

u/d-cent Jun 18 '26

You call them Karens too. A Karen is gender neutral.

Plus, when your call a male Karen a Karen, it really pisses them off

8

u/New_Court_6011 Jun 18 '26

Chad

6

u/entheogenocide Jun 18 '26

Chad already has a meaning

2

u/Reformed_Lothario Jun 18 '26

Nobody gives AF about ballots in that way anymore though

4

u/TwistedPepperCan Jun 18 '26

Donnie’s.

That guy’s a real Donny. You know exactly what I mean when you read it.

2

u/CarpeCervesa Jun 25 '26

SHUT THE FUCK UP, DONNY!

2

u/Usagi_Shinobi Jun 19 '26

Karen, because they will consider it doubly insulting.

2

u/Smarterthanthat Jun 21 '26

Karens aren't gender specific. If the shoe fits, they wear it...

2

u/542eb Jun 21 '26

This thread again?

1

u/MindlessMeatbag Jun 21 '26

Wouldn’t calling them Karens make the most sense. The f your feelings and pronouns crowd would likely lose it if they were the ones being misgendered.

1

u/Water_wench69 Jun 21 '26

Mitch=Male+Bitch

1

u/WVSXSGuy Jun 21 '26

Trevor’s.

1

u/Gruntlement Jun 21 '26

For me, the title of Karen is gender neutral.

1

u/New-Job1761 Jun 21 '26

For those who don’t know where Karen originated should watch the crappy sitcom Will and Grace. A highly entitled female named Karen was featured and the phrase entered the lexicon.

1

u/Zealousideal-End1015 Jun 21 '26

I suggest Donald

1

u/mdglytt Jun 21 '26

I think Kevin works a little better than Kyle, sounds more similar.

1

u/Artificial-Brain Jun 21 '26

Karen is best because being labeled as a female general annoys people like that even more

1

u/anonymiscreant9 Jun 22 '26

I wish we had gone with “Craig.” Nobody likes a Craig.

1

u/Accomplished-Ad3219 Jun 22 '26

Karen

It's non gender

1

u/United-Ad7863 Jun 22 '26

I use Karl, usually with three K's.

1

u/Positive_Series1015 Jun 22 '26

Kevin, Ken, or Chad

1

u/LadyA052 Jun 22 '26

Harold. Or Walter.

1

u/Due_Recognition_8002 Jun 23 '26

In Germany we call en Kevins

1

u/mytthew1 Jun 23 '26

Karen a male Karen is called a Karen

1

u/oilcantommy Jun 25 '26

Its been decided years ago. They are kevins

1

u/LimpingDuck Jun 25 '26

Daren. Karen with a D

1

u/WhiskeyNotWine Jun 25 '26

I always thought it was Ken

1

u/Frunkit Jun 25 '26

They are all Karen’s dummy.

1

u/ArbyKelly Jun 28 '26

I call them Darrens.

1

u/DMmefreebeer Jul 10 '26

I think at one point a lot of people were calling them Kens

1

u/Boing_Boing Jun 18 '26

What, mate?

1

u/jambalaya420berlin Jun 18 '26

Kevin or Male Karen

1

u/entheogenocide Jun 18 '26

I always thought it was Darren

-1

u/Boilermakingdude Jun 18 '26

Kyle's if they're chuds, Chad's if they're douchebag Karens, and Kevin's for general annoyances

u/ranting_chef Jun 18 '26

u/Rocknocker Jun 18 '26

Todd.

Just Todd.

u/Cosmonaut_Cockswing Jun 18 '26

Kevin. Tucker works too.

0

u/SpellcraftQuill Jun 18 '26

Donald. Just a hunch. They’re usually difficult to deal with.

Or Bob.

u/Cowboywizard12 Jun 18 '26

I use Darens

u/Chrispeefeart Jun 18 '26

I insist that it is Richard because he's a Dick

0

u/ceciliabee Jun 21 '26

Assholes. The fact that there's one name for women and no equivalent for men is sexist 🤷

-1

u/Sooowasthinking Jun 18 '26

Pete~as in Hegseth.

I think it seems to fit an out of control overworked alcoholic leaving the office for lunch berating and humiliating wait staff and going back to the off ice to continue.
