I agree that ableist wojaks exist, and that almost any meme can be weaponised to be such, but the specific ones used in the OP do not represent any real disability and is not meant to discriminate against anyone with any, but to showcase the opinions stated as ‘brainless’
If you wanna be progressive, maybe don’t use ableist wojaks
Ableist? It’s a wojak with no brain.
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.
Is it bigoted, or has it been used for bigotry?
Nerd alert 🤓
But those people the comics refer to are mentally disabled. Just look at the shit they are spewing.
That 4Chan have culturally appropriated them is their fault.
4Chan invented them.
And don’t insult people with mental disabilities by comparing them to shit people.
4Chan didn’t invent Wojaks, they first appeared on Sad and Useless then reddit before becoming suffused through the rest of the internet

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…
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.
If we have to look it up, the link isn’t very integral, now is it?
caring about ableism might start with lack of alt text
☹️
I was calling the commenter’s claim insincere, but you can fix the alt text, OP. I have faith in you. ☺️
Ableist against Carlos Rodriguez specifically or?
