Both had someone brushing it off as “a bad day”
Central park lady committed a crime ho for which she was not prosecuted.
And? I’m just pointing out people “having a bad day” to excuse poor behavior
I don't see how these stories are being mixed together.
He said fuck you which is a dick move
She made a false police report which is a crime.
Putting these two together is making a false equivalency
I’m not comparing the acts at all which are clearly very different in severity, I’m highlighting that some people tried to excuse the behavior of both as merely having “a bad day” while I am of the opinion these are clear signs of who they are as a person rather than a “normal” (I know that’s subjective) person simply having “a bad day” - it was said in one of the above comments I replied to earlier which is why my comments all hinge on the “bad day” excuse.
And yet the more obvious analogy is between the two Karens in these stories, no?
No, full stop. You're trying to compare someone being racist with someone who didn't give a tip big enough for the delivery driver. Reporting someone for verbally abusing you isn't being a Karen, doing something like yelling "fuck you" at a customer because they didn't give you enough extra money is being a Karen.
