    It’s bigoted shit from 4chan, that’s origins are it being used to mock “low intelligence” or those with mental disabilities.

    We can do better.

    caring about ableism might start with lack of alt text

    I think it's a bit overboard to say a caricature of someone with a crescent-moon-shaped head is a representative of a real group of people.

    Is the one with a tricycle for a brain ableist too?

    FWIW I would completely agree if they were drawn to look like they had downs syndrome or some other visual identifier of real people.

    It's an integral part of a family of a very specific set of wojaks, it doesn't exist in a vacuum, look it up...
