Wojak

Wojak（/ˈwoʊdʒæk/；WOH-jak，波兰语：wojak [vɔjak]，松散的士兵或战士），又叫Feels Guy, 是一个互联网迷因，其原始形式是一个简单黑色轮廓卡通画，描绘了一个带著渴望表达抑郁的孤独表情秃头男人。插图来源未知。[1]首次可能出现于2009年vichan的波兰图像板上，后来2010年被一张名为wojak的海报转发到德国图像板krautchan。

该迷因随后在4chan爆红，与短语例如“我知道那种感觉，兄弟（英语：I know that feel, bro）”、“那种感觉（英语：that feel）”、“那种感觉当（英语：that feel when）”相关联。

历史

最一开始“wojak”是一位波兰用户在德国图像网站在英文版的用户名称，这位用户在2010年左右开始上传这张图片，并经常伴随著有关单身，没有女朋友的哀叹，跟据这位用户的说法，这图像原先来自波兰的vinchan 图像网站，以“ciepla twarz.jpg”(波兰语:温暖的脸)为档案名被上传到vinchan的，纽约时报的布莱恩·费尔德曼（Brian Feldman）对这wojak迷因的描述是“虽然痛苦，但还是要试著面对。”

目前已知的最早的“Wojak”是一位波兰用户在已关闭的德国图像讨论版Krautchan的英语讨论区/int/上的用户名称，他在2010年左右开始张贴该图像，通常伴随著对于没有女朋友的哀叹。[2] 据他所说，该图像最初来自波兰的图像讨论版vichan，当时的文件名称为“ciepła twarz.jpg”（波兰语中的“温暖的脸”）。[3] Brian Feldman of Intelligencer describes the meme Wojak's expression as "pained but dealing with it".[4]

该图像亦传播至其他图像讨论版，如4chan等。在2011年时，一张标题为“I know that feel bro”，两个Wojak人物互相拥抱的图像使得此迷因流行了起来。[2]

Wojak亦经常与模板短语“that feel”或“that feel when”（简称为“tfw”）结合使用。[2][3]

一些迷因创作将其与佩佩蛙结合在一起（口号为“feels good man/feels bad man”），费尔德曼称之为“memescape内的柏拉图式浪漫”。[3]

Variants

NPC

主条目：NPC (meme)

In October 2018, a Wojak with a gray face, pointy nose and blank, emotionless facial expression, dubbed "NPC Wojak", became a popular visual representation for people who supposedly cannot think for themselves or make their own decisions, comparing them to non-player characters – computer-automated characters within a video game. NPC Wojak has gained online notoriety.[5][6] The meme gained media attention, initially in Kotaku and The New York Times, due to its usage in parodying the supposed herd mentality of American liberals.[5][7] This usage of the meme has been attributed to Donald Trump rivals.[8] About 1,500 Twitter accounts falsely posing as liberal activists with the NPC meme as a profile picture were suspended for allegedly spreading misinformation about the 2018 United States elections.[7] [8] On January 13, 2019, a conservative art collective known as "The Faction" hijacked a billboard for Real Time with Bill Maher, replacing Maher's image with that of the NPC Wojak.[9]

Coomer

In November 2019, the "Coomer" Wojak picked up in popularity with the "No Nut November" trend. The Coomer depicts a smiling Wojak edit with unkempt hair, red rimmed eyes, and an untidy beard. This Wojak is sometimes depicted with a skinny frame, and a large, muscular right arm resulting from excessive masturbation. It is generally understood to represent someone with a pornography addiction.[10] Much of this meme's popularity can be attributed to the "Coomer Pledge", a viral internet trend which dared people to abstain from masturbation for all of November, and change their profile picture to an image of the Coomer if they were to fail.[11]

Doomer

更多信息：Doomer

The doomer is an image macro and character archetype that first appeared on 4chan. The image typically depicts Wojak wearing a black beanie and a black hoodie, with dark circles under its eyes, while smoking a cigarette. The archetype often embodies nihilism, clinical depression, hopelessness, and despair, with a belief in the incipient end of the world to causes ranging from climate apocalypse, to peak oil, to alcoholism, to (more locally) opioid addiction.[12][13][14] The meme first appeared on 4chan's /r9k/ board in September 2018.[15]

A related meme format, "doomer girl", began appearing on 4chan in January 2020, and it soon moved to other online communities, including Reddit and Tumblr, often by women claiming it from its 4chan origins.[15] This format is described by The Atlantic as "a quickly sketched cartoon woman with black hair, black clothes, and sad eyes ringed with red makeup". The doomer girl character is often associated with the e-girl and alternative subcultures. The character often appears in image macros interacting with the original doomer character.[15][16] The format is often compared to rage comics.[17]

Soyjak

Soyjak, a portmanteau of "soy" and "wojak", is a variation of Wojak that combines Wojak-style illustrations with features of a soy boy or "nu-male".[18][19] It is typically used in online discourse, such as on 4chan and various other sites and imageboards, to mock an opponent's position by quoting them alongside a Soyjak image.[20] The first example of Soyjak appeared in December 2017 on 4chan's /int/ board. It quickly gained notoriety on the site, spawning many edits and variants, commonly mocking interests associated with "soy boys", including use of sites such as Reddit or 9gag, playing Nintendo Switch, or cuckoldry, among other things. Soyjaks usually have large open mouths. Aside from the original Soyjak variant, a Wojak edit with glasses and a scraggly beard, it became popular to trace real-life people perceived to fit the "soy boy" stereotype.[21]

相关角色

  • Yeschad - 外貌帅气而自信的中年白人男子，经常用于表达meme作者的真实意图。部分人士认为该形象涉嫌将真理垄断于白人男性手中，于是出现了多元化的Yeschad变种。
  • Soyjak - 具有胡子和眼镜的Wojak变种，情绪激动，一般用于被讽刺。后来很多具有夸张表情的政治人物也被画进了相关漫画，也属于Soyjak。其著名变种为Soyjak pointing，即两个Soyjak用滑稽夸张的方式指着什么。
  • Chudjak - 一个外貌严肃而猥琐的相关形象，又名Poljak，源自于帕特里克·克鲁修斯，2019年埃尔帕索枪击案凶手。该形象被用于讽刺另类右翼（尤其是4chan用户与非自愿单身群体）。常用语录为“西方已沦陷，数十亿人必须死去”(The West Has Fallen. Billions Must Die)和“已经结束了”(It's over...)
  • Trannyjak - 具有大量男性特征，头发色彩杂乱而不整理，还有着胡子的跨性别女士形象。经常作为Chudjak仇恨的对象并被吊死。
