Ѕоујаkѕ
Ѕоујаkѕ, also known as Soyboy 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.

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.
As an art form
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 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.
Counterparts
Soyak
Ѕоујаk, also known as soyak or soijak, is a high quality, untraced, well drawn edit of the Wojak face as a soy boy. His characteristic features are his glasses, scraggly beard, and usually wide open mouth. The wide-mouthed expression he often has is known as the "Soylent Grin", and usually indicates that he is happy.
Early life
Main article: Origin of soyjak
Soyjak in his most well-known form, the "classic soyjak variant", was first posted to /int/ by a Swede on December 30th, 2017. (swedish win btw)
On September 1 2021, Soyjak historians on /qa/ unearthed bombshell evidence that called into question everything we know about the origin of Soyjak by discovering possible "first jak" candidates which pre-dated the timescale for the previously-accepted "Out of Swedish Win" theory.
As of 2025, research into this topic is still ongoing.
Early life
Soyjak was born in San Francisco, California. Throughout his life, he always happily took whatever meds he was prescribed by Dr. Soyberg, washed down with soymilk. He was fed processed, microwaved and frozen food with poor nutrition as a child, which is the reason he has fucked up hormones and is 5'1 (155 cm) in height today.
He graduated from UC, berkeley with computer science degree and now works at apple
He still resides in California today, married to his wife, Megan. Together they had Nate and caca.
A24 Slow-Burn Soyjak
The A24 Slow-Burn Soyjak (often shortened to just A24) is a popular soyjak variant. He is the second-oldest soyjak, releasing just under 4 months after the original. He is also the first soyjak to be traced from a real-life soyboy instead of being a Wojak derivative.
History
On March 23, 2018, /tv/ exploded with discussion and mockery pertaining to the YouTube reactor James' Youniverse and his over-the-top soyface reaction to capeshit movie trailers. The same day, somebody traced a soyjak of him and uploaded it to one of the mockery threads under the filename soy.png.
Naming
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. {{clear]}
Feraljak
Feraljak, also known as Eat The Bugs Soyjak, and You WILL Soyjak, is a soyjak variant composed of a semi-realistic soy face looking at the viewer with a vaguely angry expression. Despite a strong tendency to follow rules, he demonstrates extremely violent impulses and is known to easily fly into fits of rage.[1][2][3] Feraljak is a vocal proponent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and Veganism.
On November 27, 2024, Feraljak was diagnosed with autism.[4]
