Wojak（/ˈwoʊdʒæk/；WOH-jak，波蘭語：wojak [vɔjak]，鬆散的士兵或戰士），又叫Feels Guy, 是一個網際網路迷因，其原始形式是一個簡單黑色輪廓卡通畫，描繪了一個帶著渴望表達抑鬱的孤獨表情禿頭男人。插圖來源未知。[1]首次可能出現於2009年vichan的波蘭圖像板上，後來2010年被一張名為wojak的海報轉發到德國圖像板krautchan。

該迷因隨後在4chan爆紅，與短語例如「我知道那種感覺，兄弟（英語：I know that feel, bro）」、「那種感覺（英語：that feel）」、「那種感覺當（英語：that feel when）」相關聯。

歷史

[編輯]

最一開始「wojak」是一位波蘭用戶在德國圖像網站在英文版的用戶名稱，這位用戶在2010年左右開始上傳這張圖片，並經常伴隨著有關單身，沒有女朋友的哀嘆，跟據這位用戶的說法，這圖像原先來自波蘭的vinchan 圖像網站，以「ciepla twarz.jpg」(波蘭語:溫暖的臉)為檔案名被上傳到vinchan的，紐約時報的布萊恩·費爾德曼（Brian Feldman）對這wojak迷因的描述是「雖然痛苦，但還是要試著面對。」

目前已知的最早的「Wojak」是一位波蘭用戶在已關閉的德國圖像討論版Krautchan的英語討論區/int/上的用戶名稱，他在2010年左右開始張貼該圖像，通常伴隨著對於沒有女朋友的哀嘆。[2] 據他所說，該圖像最初來自波蘭的圖像討論版vichan，當時的文件名稱為「ciepła twarz.jpg」（波蘭語中的「溫暖的臉」）。[3] Brian Feldman of Intelligencer describes the meme Wojak's expression as "pained but dealing with it".[4]

該圖像亦傳播至其他圖像討論版，如4chan等。在2011年時，一張標題為「I know that feel bro」，兩個Wojak人物互相擁抱的圖像使得此迷因流行了起來。[2]

Wojak亦經常與模板短語「that feel」或「that feel when」（簡稱為「tfw」）結合使用。[2][3]

一些迷因創作將其與佩佩蛙結合在一起（口號為「feels good man/feels bad man」），費爾德曼稱之為「memescape內的柏拉圖式浪漫」。[3]

Variants

NPC

[編輯]
主條目：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

[編輯]

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

[編輯]
更多資訊：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

[編輯]

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]
