nah, it's a sign of the psychological regression

this is a baby face

super simplified and exaggerated

this is why although cartoons started as adult entertainment they became a tool for brainwashing children because children understand the overt gestures easier, for adults the purpose of the simplification is parody

i think there's more going on. not saying its good! but eg the reason one pic works brilliantly as a meme base and another doesn't.. if you try to explain objectively you realise is very very subtle

nothing new fundamentally - its from humans biological ability to distinguish facial expressions etc. but now its evolving at a completely new rate
