The Dumb Wojak, often referred to as a 'Brainlet,' is a sub-variation of the classic Wojak character. It first gained traction on imageboards like 4chan around 2016 to mock individuals perceived as having low intelligence or holding illogical opinions. The character is typically depicted with extreme physical deformities of the head, such as an exceptionally small skull or a leaking brain, symbolizing a lack of cognitive function. Over time, the meme evolved into a wide variety of 'Brainlet' tiers used to satirize everything from crypto trends to heated internet arguments, serving as the ultimate visual shorthand for a 'smooth brain' take.
