KnowYourMeme, also known by its acronym KYM, is a website that is supposedly dedicated to documenting memes and hosting meme images. It bans anything that isn't advertiser friendly and outright deletes articles such as their page on Geiger Counter for being too unpleasant.
Despite ostensibly being a meme site, KYM hosts an enormous amount of anime[1], furry[2], and My Little Pony art[3], much of which is unrelated to any memes[4].
Soyjak has an article on KYM whose image gallery is an excellent resource for soyjaks, despite being controversial with the site's userbase.[5] Many KYM users object to soyjaks being posted there.
Those in favor of posting soyjaks on KYM argue that soyjaks are a meme that must be documented like any other, while those opposed claim it is posted far too much, clogging the site's image feed.
The soyjak article's image gallery has been "raided" several time by various based soybros from 4chan[6]. These heroes bravely soyposted in hostile territory, many of them eventually getting their KYM accounts banned.
