Chudjak, sometimes also called Poljak, is a Wojak variant that was made to mock right-wing /pol/ users. His facial features include almond-shaped eyes, thick-framed glasses, and a distinct lack of chin. While these particular features are often attributed to adolescent mass-shooters and far-right extremists, 'jak fact-checkers have found evidence to suggest that an obsession with American politics, regardless of affiliation, can often cause an individual to develop this particular phenotype. As such, it is also commonly used as a template for trannyjaks, commiejaks, and other wojak edits meant to mock left-wingers. Because of Chudjak's polarizing nature and extreme versatility in being used against various political demographics, posting a Chudjak can often result in other posters retaliating with their own Chudjaks. This can lead to a thread devolving into warring factions quoting each other with Chudjak edits, a phenomenon remarkably similar to a conventional soy duel. Some /pol/ users have also chosen to self-identify as the Chudjak, making images such as Roman art parodies depicting chuds "looking like and saying that."
The word "Chud" stands for "Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller", which comes from the 1984 science fiction horror movie C.H.U.D.
Origin
The origin of the Chudjak is disputed, but it is said that an earlier front-facing version of the Chudjak, originally called "le /pol/ face", originated on the German imageboard Kohlchan to make fun of raiding /pol/ users before the currently popular "Wojakified" version was created in August 30th, 2020 on the now-defunct website Bunkerchan.[2]
Status As A Soyjak
Currently, there's no consensus on whether Chudjak should be considered a soyjak or not. Some people consider Chudjak to not be a soyjak due to lack of defining soyboy features (open mouth and a stubble), while others consider him to be as valid as any other soyjak since the usage is pretty much the same, and he is as soy as any other self insert soyjak like Wholesome Soyjak and Impish Soyak Ears. SoyBooru currently allows all Chudjak edits.[3]
The usage of Chudjaks in Soy Duels is generally despised, although in 2022 Chudjak vs Trannyjak edits saw an increase in popularity, and are probably the most popular type of dueling these days.[4]
Right Wing Usage
Registered Democrat
Many right-wing /pol/ users tried to reclaim the meme in their favor, a popular example of these attempts is the registered democrat image (shown here) which claims that Patrick Crusius, the person Chudjak is based on, was actually a registered democrat. This image gained a lot of popularity on /pol/ even though popular fact-checking websites like Snopes already debunked it.[5]
There has also been attempts at relating Chudjak to other popular leftists rather than Patrick Crusius such as John Oliver, Bernie Sanders, Stephen Colbert, and many more.[6] But the most popular one of these is Doreen Ford, a tranny r/antiwork janny who participated in a Fox News interview.[7]
Self Insert
Some chuds choose to identify as Chudjaks online, this usage isn't very common on /pol/ but it's more popular on /qa/ and soyjak.party. Popular edits include Chudjak killing trannies,[8] Chudjak Roman Art parodies,[9] and Chudjak edits featuring a big white cock.[10]
