That whole "Karen Farms" thing is clumsy all around
Ethan's repeating it because Dick said it.
Dick said it because Dick followed Scott Adams religiously during the 2016 election, and probably read Win Bigly, where Adams talks about Trump's branding technique.

So Dick tried to use a Trump persuasion technique to rebrand us as Karens... even though Kiwi Farms isn't known in the public eye for being the "I want to speak to your manager" types. Someone labeled a "Karen" doesn't really fit with a gray and green forum. The association just doesn't pop. Credit where credit's due, Dick knew what he was doing, he's just not Trump.
Ralph is too dumb to see that as anything more than a fancy way to call someone a faggot.
