The 'Woke Toddler' meme, also known as the Progressive Toddler, features a photo of a young child with a skeptical, side-eye expression that implies deep intellectual judgment. It gained massive popularity as a satirical response to 'woke' parents on social media who often attribute complex political or social justice quotes to their very young children. Users typically caption the image with overly academic jargon or revolutionary rhetoric that contrasts hilariously with the child's age. Beyond mocking performative parenting, it has evolved into a general-purpose template for expressing skepticism toward pretentious statements or presenting unexpected, high-level critiques of everyday situations.
