Karen has exploded in use over the past few weeks to refer to any specter of a person who doesn't agree with you.I learned about Karens today lol.
Does the urban dictionary post do a good job? I feel it's missing more detail.
Urban Dictionary: a karen
she has the children that she treats like angels that can "never do anything wrong" but in reallity are spoiled bratty ass little shits that treat other people poorly and think that they can do whatever they want. karens usually never vaccinate because of "big pharma putting poison in vaccines...
Marie Kondo doesn't claim to be a minimalist:
KonMari Is Not Minimalism – KonMari | The Official Website of Marie Kondo
Minimalism champions living with less, but Marie's tidying method encourages living with items you truly cherish.konmari.com
She actually recommends that people use the containers they already have, like empty shoe boxes, instead of buying pretty new boxes. Her store is just selling to people who want her design aesthetic.
Does she have a point or is she actually just a snake lazily tearing down two POC who are currently relevant in the same age bracket and products space she's targeting and is attacking them to make herself seem like the smarter, more conscious decision for the kind of dumbasses who read things like this and nod their heads?
A while ago a friend showed me a link to Marie Kondo shop where she was selling exorbitantly expensive shit. Like....nearly $300 for a metal cup.
Authentic Japanese Brass Tool or Utensil Holder
The Futagami brass foundry is renowned for its sand-casting technique, which creates a distinctive, rustic texture that will develop a rich patina over time. This faceted brass vessel was designed by Oji Masanori to hold kitchen utensils and is striking enough to be used as a vase. Lined in...shop.konmari.com
That's certainly unnecessary, but her lesson isn't to strictly remove everything you don't directly need.
Off topic, but his letter to Ann Coulter from 14 years ago still makes me laugh.
That is a luxury brand. Costs about the same on the brands website. It would be like Goop selling a Gucci thumbtack for $150. It's not the website, it's the niche of rich people home decor.A while ago a friend showed me a link to Marie Kondo shop where she was selling exorbitantly expensive shit.

No, they are shitting on her for the causal racism and putting down of others
Could be one of the other. Could be both depending on you ask. Doesn't really benefit me of you to pretend we definitively know, so maybe more of us could acknowledge that when commenting on the specifics of things we have no real idea about. The only honest critique I see here is her racist paraphrasing of Kondo, which contributed nothing to the point she was making. Other than that, she's free to feel however the heck she likes about whoever else imo, just like folks are free to call her a sell out for doing something similar. Personally, I don't see her point in trying to tear folks down one way or the other to lift herself up.
.....
But yea yea, totally just "opinionated" and not hyper-aggressive/racist. She just "telling it like it is."
how are you sitting this out while posting, agreeing with the criticisms, and perching yourself above other posters as if the racism, for starters, wasn't a factor
I mean Chrissy's Twitter account annoys me but this exactly wasn't that egregious or anti black.
First of all actually learn something about Kondo's stated philosophy, second of all it's cute watching people defend a white woman whose peddling the exact same shit complain about two women of color "selling out" but you do you! Oh and the blatantly racist joke but we've decided to ignore that obviously.
When she says "I didn't mention any men because there aren't any doing anything I find comparable, so", It's just ridiculous. Tons of male chefs built up high quality brands on television only to slap their names on cookware for coins.
She has already built an empire and is actively trying to make it larger. All this wanting to stay small junk is just folksy pandering to people running Etsy shops and doing MLMs to look like "one of them" and keep their support while making herself look like a homegrown authentic success compared to Marie and Chrissy. It's textbook.
