@herzleid @ninawillburger It's not even "as if from an old children's book", it's actually taken from Der Struwwelpeter.

@dentaku Sure, whatever? It's a volunteer image description, not a dissertation on German folk tales.

But a good illustration of why it's so much better when the person posting the image writes the alt text, since they have the full context.

@herzleid @ninawillburger Maybe they also don't know. I just thought it might be interesting that it's not just a meme pic but an actual children's book (that I also had in my childhood).

@dentaku Just frustrating that no matter what you post on the internet, some dude will come along to point out that it wasn't perfect. 🤷

But we probably experience online social spaces very differently for a lot of reasons, and I'm currently a bit prickly for reasons not related to you, so let's just leave it at that.

Thank you for the added context. 🌼
