Have you ever picked Pokemon for a competitive team not simply because of their statistical advantage and moveset, but because you liked that Pokemon?
Then you're a Karenfag. Nowhere in her speech does she prohibit using any kind of Pokemon, just relying on subjective labeling. If you have any modicum of skill, you can find a place on your team for a Pokemon you like and you probably have.
The only person who could be strictly defined as a "Smogonfag" would be someone who refuses to use anything not drafted from a 1500+ player cookiecutter copypaste team. The real point Karen was trying to make was that a skilled player values Pokemon subjectively not only for their personal value but their unique capabilities, limited as they might be in a realistic scenario.
