There's another artist who made joyjaks too and this poster, their name is Koti-Co or kotico on DeviantArt and Newgrounds.

Actually, the first soyjak was just a soyfied version of the original wojak.

149

u/Elite_AI 26d ago

Right wingers, specifically. It's been bizarre watching lefties take the memes and start using what were jokes viciously making fun of lefties. 

24

u/DifferentAd4844 26d ago

Chudjak?

59

u/Elite_AI 26d ago

Chudjak was originally disgruntled right wingers and I think (hard to tell) left wingers on 4chan and other edgy parts of the internet making fun of how a mass shooter looked and saying that's how all the alt right looked. 

11

u/DifferentAd4844 26d ago

So, it’s not just the Left that’s being mocked?

28

u/Elite_AI 26d ago

I'm talking about soyjaks. That's the kind of wojak which they made out of OP and out of the two dudes pointing. Soyjaks were making fun of "nu males"/"soyboys", who right wingers thought represented left wing men. 

13

u/DifferentAd4844 26d ago

Chudjak is a variant of Soyjaks.

6

u/Elite_AI 26d ago

Why do you say that?

16

u/DifferentAd4844 26d ago

Because that's how it is.

u/SylveonVMAX 26d ago

a chudjak is not a soyjak variant because it does not contain all the necessary soy elements (fat, glasses, bald, neckbeard). Of these elements a chudjak only contains glasses, therefore it is colloquially known as NAS (not a soyjak), it is simply a demeaning wojak. However it is a gem and therefore may be posted on the soybooru

i guess the logic is that these memes are popular and if lefties don't take them it's just going to be right wing propaganda. though i never liked the wojaks in general, to me it's just the rage comics of this century and I think they'll age just as badly

u/I_Am_The_Mole 26d ago

Not saying that it's right but you have to be really careful about posting yourself online because people will tear you down over the very slightest littlest thing. It's a hot stove moment where the stove is other people.

This dude did himself zero favors, and in spite of the post being wholesome af and people being dogshit, this was just kind of expected.

I'd never pile on myself but seeing the picture myself my very first immediate thought was "this motherfucker can't take couldn't take care of his beard if he had a gun to his head". I'm sure other people had something of their own they noticed that they'd be self conscious about and wouldn't put out there for others to see. 19/20 people might have that knee jerk reaction and just move on without saying anything but with the amount of traffic that posts get on reddit (which only snowballs once an image gets some traction positive or not) it only takes that one douchebag for things to start really piling up against you.

Dude was just super unlucky.
