We shouldn’t have started using the name Karen as a negative term for whiny, entitled women.

Imagine your name, the one that you’ve gone by for several decades since you were born, was suddenly turned into a complete joke and stereotype used to describe an amalgamation of the worst characteristics in a woman. Wouldn’t you be more than slightly miffed? I’ve heard of accounts where women named Karen changed their names or were in fear of speaking up because people would immediately dismiss them as a “Karen.” Or that they were constantly made fun of for their name even if they were kind, decent people. I’m just saying that we should have at least found another term instead of using a name that many women already go by. Edit: No, my name is not Karen, and you’re only proving my point if you respond “okay/shut up, Karen.” Now I’m beginning to really see how people named Karens are treated. submitted by /u/DoubleAbalone2148 to r/unpopularopinion link comments

*Who’s an actor that’s technically a “nepo baby,” but their work and talent is so undeniable that you don’t really consider them to be one? I’ll start: Bill Skarsgård.*

I always forget his dad is an actor too. I feel like with children of celebrities who get famous, there’s always the question of if they’re good enough to have made it otherwise. After IT especially, I don’t there’s any question of Bill’s talent. submitted by /u/EnigmaticRaccoon to r/popculturechat [link] [comments]

*AITA for refusing to share my inheritance with my dad and brother after discovering a family secret?*

My grandma (dad's mom) left me (27F) my dad's (52M) portion of her inheritance but left him and my brother (30M) nothing. For context, me and my brother have never met my grandad. According to my dad, he and his father had a very toxic relationship. After my dad and my mom (49F) met they started dating at university and they had my brother. My parents then got married which made my grandad stop talking to my dad. A couple of years later had me and we've been living happily ever after. After my grandad died, my dad began to spend more time with his mom. We got to also spend more time with her and we even spent the Christmas holidays at their house. She was this sweet old lady who just loved us so much. Her energy was so electric and contagious. I won't lie when I say that Christmas as a teenager were my most cherished times. Sadly my grandma passed away last year. After her funeral, I and my two aunties were called to speak to a lawyer. She died with a house worth more than £500K (for context she lived near Oxford) to her name, and over £200K worth of cash and other heirlooms. When we went through the inheritance, the lawyer explained that she divided it into three equal parts. It was between her two daughters and me, who got my dad's share of the inheritance. She left her son nothing. When my dad found out, he protested and asked how was that possible but I wasn't too concerned. During the proceedings, my grandma's lawyer who was in charge of the inheritance, gave me a letter written by her a year ago. In this letter, to be read after her death, she explained that her husband (my grandad) had disowned my dad completely. This is because my dad is not my brother's actual father as he's a child from a relationship my mom had previously. My dad met my mom when she was pregnant with my brother. My grandparents, my grandad, in particular, thought this was extremely weird. He did not approve of this and was vehemently against it. My dad didn't listen and married my mom a year after my brother was born, which prompted my grandad to excommunicate him for good. During the years my grandma stayed in contact with my dad but we (my brother and I) did not meet her until after my grandad died. The thing is, neither my brother nor I knew that my dad wasn't his biological father. A day later, my dad called me to discuss the inheritance but I didn't want to meet him. He doesn't know that I know and I don't know how to tell him I know. I haven't received any money yet but based on this I feel like I will not share it. My family are understandably calling me greedy but I just don't really trust them anymore. This is already causing heavy division in my family and now I feel like dropping this news will destroy my family completely, should I just be truthful about the reasoning or what should I do? submitted by /u/combientu to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]
