The origin
A simple black-outlined drawing of a bald man with a wistful expression appeared on Polish imageboards and spread through the rage-comic world.
How it spread
It grew into a large family of variants, each standing for a different type of person, and became one of the most-edited drawings online.
What it means
A blank emotional template. Its neutrality is why it survived, and why some variants were later used cruelly.
