'''Ѕоујаkѕ''', also known as '''Soyboy [[Wojak|Wojaks]]''' and '''bald men with glasses''', are humorous depictions of effeminate males called soy boys. '''Soyjaks''' and their use has become its own subculture, originally on the now-defunct Question & Answer board of the website [[4chan]], and now on Ѕоујаk.party and other websites known collectively as the Soysphere, where a community of individuals known as soyteens have gathered. '''Ѕоујаkѕ''' are traditionally used to imply that one's opponent is, in fact, a soy boy who looks like these depictions and says whatever is being quoted (usually their own past words). Two soyteens may quote each other back and forth with '''Ѕоујаkѕ''' in a competitive event known as a soyduel.
'''Ѕоујаkѕ''', also known as '''Soyboy [[Wojak|Wojaks]]''', are humorous depictions of effeminate males called soy boys drawn usually in a black and white drawing, based off the [[Wojak]] drawing from 2008-2009. '''Soyjaks''' and their use has become its own subculture, originally on the now-defunct Question & Answer board of the website [[4chan]], and now on Ѕоујаk.party and other websites known collectively as the Soysphere, where a community of individuals known as soyteens have gathered. '''Ѕоујаkѕ''' are traditionally used to imply that one's opponent is, in fact, a soy boy who looks like these depictions and says whatever is being quoted (usually their own past words).

Although the exact origin of '''Ѕоујаkѕ''' is a contentious topic, with multiple proto-sоујаkѕ being discussed as potential first '''Ѕоујаkѕ''', most agree that the '''Soyak''' image created by the artist known as The Swede on December 30th, 2017 is the first instance to meet all the known characteristics of a '''Ѕоујаk'''.

Although the concept of 'jakking is frequently dismissed as strawman argumentation by the masses and criticized by trannies, 'jakking and it's culture has been acknowledged by some spectators as a form of subversive commentary on modern human nature, as well as expressionist and sometimes (as the CIA would put it) surrealist art, especially in regard to its following, wide variety of images, and their literary contexts produced as a result.

The vast majority of '''Ѕоујаkѕ''' are not anti-aliased. This means that they are easy to edit, even with basic software like [[MS Paint|Microsoft Paint]]. As a result, '''Ѕоујаkѕ''' can be quickly modified to create personalized attacks on individuals of any race, creed, color, nationality, or gender. An excess of these '''Ѕоујаkѕ''' can be found on the SoyBooru, a website that serves as a repository of them.

Although originally designed to mock a certain kind of stereotypical, left-leaning, media-consuming male, '''Ѕоујаkѕ''' have evolved far beyond their original scope and can now be used to represent any being or object, or even oneself.

During and preceding the marketing campaign for The Lighthouse in mid-2019, the as-of-then unnamed soyjak became heavily associated with bone-chilling, character-development-driven, cheap-jumpscares-free, emotionally-draining, slow-burn "horror kino" created by A24, due to a Gigachad spammer with some kind of vendetta. The connection has stuck ever since.

He is frequently cited in arguments about what is IAS, as an example of a beardless soyjak. There have been edits that try to make him fresh, or add the beard, but none of them have taken off. This is usually because they're iron edits. Another reason might be because soyteens are too irony poisoned to accept a vanilla looking '''Ѕоујаk''', and because of the existent front facing self-insert '''Ѕоујаk''' meta.

[[File:Guinnessworldrecordsoyjak.png|thumb]]
'''Gapejak''' (also known as '''Cobson''', and previously known as '''Guinness World Record Ѕоујаk''', '''Screaming Ѕоујаk''', '''Schizophrenia Ѕоујаk''', and '''ScreamingbaldЅоујаk''') is a '''Ѕоујаk''' with a uniquely shaped head and a large mouth. His name comes from the image he was based on, showing the former 2016 German Guinness world record holder Bernd Schmidt for the largest mouth gape. This '''Ѕоујаk''' and '''Ѕоујаks''' from his bloodline are often edited into new variants.


This '''Ѕоујаk''' can be highly unpredictable. Sometimes he has good intentions, as seen in the Wholesome '''Ѕоујаk''' variant, but even the wholesome variant has (intentionally or unintentionally) done bad things. The angry mask-wearing variant, much like Eat The Bugs '''Ѕоујаk''', militantly supports every tenet of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.  


According to the Booru, '''Gapejak''' is the second most popular variant (it used to be the most popular before getting overtaken by [[Chudjak]]), although this is likely due to the large number of subvariants made from him. As of December 16th, 2024, he has the third highest number of posts (10,843), and he is one of only four to have over 10,000 posts on the Booru (the others being Cobson, Chudjak and Soyak.) If one counts Impish Soyak Ears as a subvariant of Gapejak, Gapejak would blow everyone else out of the water, with over 16,000 posts (combined).
