The story is vague, but the title is not.

I like the its-actually-not-a-karen viewpoint, but you did set a certain view on the story by giving it that title, there's no denying that.

Very intentionally, yes, as I was certain that it would appeal to Lemmy's superiority complex. I wondered how long it would take for a single comment to point out the assumption, and the answer was 12 hours. No presumption of innocence here. I don’t really have a horse in this race, I just like baiting and seeing what bites.
