Karen will ALWAYS mean that little Nazi down the street calling the Mask Hotline to report your kids playing with the neighbors when they're not supposed to, you not wearing a mask in public or tattling on your quiet party with 30 friends and family in your back yard because "Governor said"
The local "news" last night was running a truly Nazi-esque promo for their 10:00pm show. They showed photos of all the local supermarkets and claimed the local Board of Health's office was being "overrun with phone calls reporting shoppers not wearing masks." Of course, the Board of Health has no authority so it doesn't matter. It was just their way of sending a passive-aggressive threat, "Wear your mask or be reported to the authorities. We're watching." These people are disgusting.
I’ve heard leftists I know using it to mean women who are against wearing masks and/or are protesting against the government shutdown of businesses. Like OP said, the left is co-opting the Karen meme, even though your definition is 100% the correct one.
Yeah but I dislike giving that name. It just makes it ok to dismiss a person's view/argument based on their race and sex (white female). It's the same as if you say a white person can't "understand" racism because of white priviledge. A woman mad at someone for harassing them can be called a Karen as if that proves they are wrong.

It's sickening.
The positive to take from this is I'm not the only one not wearing the mask. Unless all those people were reporting me.

I haven't had one person have the guts to confront me yet for not wearing the compliance flag. My prepared response is similar to yours.
