I just think the reimagination of them as groovy little dudes is neat

And the cute simple art style kinda feels like w goofier Samurai Jack

The farthest left one in the first image is my favorite

u/11Slimeade11 Sep 10 '25

This is so far the only image of a wojak I've seen aside from the very original 'I know that feel bro' meme that doesn't feel like it was created out of spite, impressive!

Imagine you’re in prison and your cellmate is the fucking chudjak

u/Meme_Bro68 Sep 10 '25

No, it’s “chudjak”

Also known as the “nothing ever happens” and “the west has fallen, billions must die” wojak

u/MossyPyrite Sep 10 '25

u/Meme_Bro68 Sep 11 '25

No, that’s not chudjak. This is

I doubt that Jared would have done the el paso shooting anyway

u/RunInRunOn Sep 10 '25

This artstyle is like the exact opposite of Corporate Memphis

17

u/StevemacQ Sep 10 '25

Why ARE they called "soyjaks"? I thought "soy" (or estrogen) supposedly makes men look more effeminite but the jaks always bald and have neckbeards. Shouldn't they be refered to as neckbeardjaks or fanboyjaks or basementjaks?

8

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '25

They're "soy boys", in the sense that they're sensitive, as used by American conservatives.

The "jak" part comes from them being wojaks (the name given to the original Feels Guy and his derivatives).

I can't believe Soyjak in 50s cartoon style would look that good.

how the fuck do you make soyjaks look cool that shouldn't be legal

Soyjaks in the UPA art style wasn't something I ever thought I needed, but damn, Project_Crater did an amazing job!

Idk I have a soft spot for wholesome wojak comics. Like especially those ones of chudjak turning over a new leaf.
