Guided by the Cartoons
This amusing yet perplexing restroom sign relies on gendered outlines in blue and pink, with the female figure characterized by a ponytail and a dress. However, the designer didn’t stop there and added cartoons to the signs.
The use of Hello Kitty for girls and Pepe for boys raises questions about whether this is another form of stereotypical categorization based on gender. Additionally, the cartoons’ expressions, with Hello Kitty appearing to struggle and Pepe seemingly in a quiet relief, add another layer of curiosity to the sign’s overall message.
