        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.

      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.

          You’re the one claiming its ableist, but you want others to ‘look it up’ to research potentials for why you think it’s ableist?

          That ain’t gonna win anyone over to your position.
