'Karen' never became a meme. ...

It's often called a meme (or "stereotype", "term", or "slur").

    Oh, by the way, I just learned the technical term for
   "acting like a Karen" without using the name Karen -
   it's called "having an entitlement rage."

Einen Anspruchs-Wutanfall haben
Total ausgerastet sein, weil man nicht bekommen hat, was man wollte
Auf dicke Hose machen, weil man meint, etwas Besonderes zu sein
Rumzicken, weil man meint, die Welt drehe sich nur um einen selbst
Germany:      While Germans might understand the concept, they have their own term, "Alman". This refers to a stereotype of a grumpy, rule-obsessed German tourist who can be impatient and demanding.
France:      Similar to Germany, France doesn't have a direct equivalent. However, some might use "cliente pénible" (difficult customer) or "cliente exigeante" (demanding customer) to describe similar behavior.
A lot of the "Karen" memes and stories center around retail experiences.
