About
Wojak (from Polish wojak [vɔjak], loosely 'soldier' or fighter), also known as Feels Guy, is an Internet meme. In the meme's original form, he is a simple, black-outlined cartoon drawing of a bald man with a wistful expression, and is posted to generically represent emotions such as melancholy, regret, or loneliness.
The image originated in 2009 on a Polish imageboard called vichan, and was later reposted to the German/international imageboard krautchan in 2010 by a Polish poster called "wojak." It grew to popularity on 4chan, where the character became associated with the phrases formerly used by wojak such as "that feel", "that feel when", and "I know that feel, bro". Countless variants of the meme have since emerged, expressing different emotions or representing various archetypes.
History
"Wojak" was originally the nickname of a Polish user on the defunct German imageboard Krautchan, who started posting the image around 2010, often accompanied with lament about not having a girlfriend.[1] According to him, the image originally came from the Polish imageboard vichan, where it was posted with the filename "ciepła twarz.jpg" ('warm face'). Brian Feldman of Intelligencer describes Wojak's expression as "pained but dealing with it."
The image spread to other imageboards, including 4chan, where by 2011 an image of two Wojaks hugging each other under the caption "I know that feel bro" gained popularity. Wojak was also paired with the template phrase "that feel" or "that feel when", shortened to "tfw". Some variants paired him with the character Pepe the Frog (catchphrase "feels good/bad man") in what Feldman describes as a "platonic romance within the memescape".
