The same is largely true of consciously “anti-woke” comedy, much of which is very poor quality; or, if I were to be charitable, is aimed at older people. Perhaps it is because it employs a similar tactic to clapter, using a political out-group as a punchline, without in any way hitting a taboo. Memes, in contrast, are more provocative and darker, coming from a place of genuine contempt and despair. By 2022, a wide variety of Wojak-based meme characters had emerged -- enough that Wojaks themselves could constitute a vocabulary to articulate highly sophisticated stories and arguments. For example, Redditor u/perpetualhillman posted a 7 × 7 political compass grid meme on September 5th, 2022, representing the types of people they had met during a trip to Ukraine as the Russian war against that country unfolded. Each personality in the meme is represented by a different Wojak or Wojak-adjacent character. [11] Following the viral spread of the post, in early May 2021 the six-panel You're Such a Dumb Animal version of the format gained viral popularity online, particularly on Reddit. Various Examples On October 18th, an anonymous 4chan user submitted a post to /r9k/ with the green text "think for your whole life that you are intelligent / you are actually a brainlet" (shown below). That day, a screenshot of the post was submitted to the subreddit /r/4chan, [4] where it gathered more than 800 points (96% upvoted) within one week.

Soon after, the picture became known as “Wojak’s face” and “ciepła twarz” (“warm face”). The image spread to other international image boards, including the Italian Pastachan [3] and the Russian Dobrochan.

As many Wojak memes, the Frustrated Wojak had a lot of success on various 4chan boards, where it was often paired with the line "IT'S NOT FAAAAAIIIIIIR". One of its most common usages at the beginning of its existence was in conjunction with the Smug Frog meme in drawings known as Pepe x Wojak, where the memetic characters Pepe the Frog and Wojak interacted, mostly as enemies. The Pepe supporters would often use the Smug Frog to emphasize Pepe's dominance, and the Frustrated Wojak to emphasize Wojak's defeat. a b Alexander, Julia (23 October 2018).

Soyboy on the Internet [7] derived from the word Wojak, who wears horn-rimmed glasses and opens his mouth wide enough to look stupid in a state where he doesn't look neat because of his beard, exudes a very nerdy + nerd image even among various memes, and in 2017, some Nintendo Switch users and adults started demeaning them .

Polandball – another meme which originated on Krautchan to make fun of the user Wojak before spreading to the English-speaking world. Many memes aren’t necessarily far-Right or even Right-wing but are just socially obscene, which is basically the same thing now. For example, Norf FC, a satire of English football fans, would certainly be considered “problematic”, to use the language of sanctimonious bores who police discourse. Originating on 4chan, it’s decidedly offensive but also funny, at its best a modern-day Hogarth, making fun of certain aspects of English life, including the English abroad, their obsession with football above all else, and their tendency to drink and fight. But it has also expanded organically to cover our history, including the Napoleonic Wars and the Roman invasion. (A remake of Our Island Story but illustrated with Norf FC would make an excellent book). This is the Soyboy version of Wojak. The word soyboy is derived from the claim that phytoestrogens in soybeans feminize men who consume soybean products. Wojak has evolved into various other forms — Withered Wojak is a favourite, often used in response to the latest self-harm masquerading as life advice spread by journalists and other opinion formers, or to children being exposed to drag queens, or the most recent race-baiting directives from on high. He represents despair that this will never be over and will only get worse.The same is true in Britain, where the Right has limited political power and the Left has unlimited cultural power; following the American lead with Wojak-like conformity, British clapter-comedy such as the Mash Report, where the audience applauds rather than laughs, has made the political out-group the butt of jokes, while avoiding the sort of unspoken, absurd truths that make political humour bite. These new official jokes were often about peasant stupidity, or when they made fun of the system, it was because it wasn’t being properly implemented by local officials; the beliefs behind that system were sacrosanct. As a result “there were now two kinds of humour: official and unofficial – the written and the spoken, the public and the private. In the censored void, a culture of the spoken joke would develop, a collective satirical work produced by the whole population”. The meme subsequently grew in popularity on 4chan, where the character became associated with the phrases formerly used by wojak such as "I know that feel, bro", "that feel" or "that feel when".
