History
Protojaks
Portraying someone you don't like as a whiny bitch who says that and looks like that is a crucial component of the human condition, and has been observed in soyciety since antiquity.
Technological development
On September 19th, 1982, some nerd posted the first emoticon ever, :-) on his university system.[1] No doubt a lot of jakking went on when they later invented :O
September 19th is also the day the 'party launched in 2020. This is just a coincidence and you WILL NOT investigate it further.
Theories
The entire field of ajakogenesis can essentially be reduced to one simple but deceptive question: what was the first 'jak? As of the time of writing, archeological investigation has uncovered 4 potential candidates, but there are still major gaps in knowledge in most of them and debate rages on whether certain candidates qualify as 'jaks. Therefore, what constitutes the first soyjak is now no longer a matter of history, but one of philosophy: what is a jak? The answer depends on one's opinion of what's NAS and what's IAS.
Out of Swedish Win theory
The out of Swedish Win theory posits that the first soyjak was posted to /int/ by a Swede on December 30th, 2017, constituting a Swedish Win.[2] All sides agree that this was the first appearance of the particular Wojak edit that would later be known as the "classic soyjak variant" by the soy community, and it is also uncontroversial that the filename soyak.png was the original Swedish name for the creation; however, the extremely late posting date compared to other first 'jak candidates raises skepticism among researchers.
The out of Swedish Win theory is the traditional explanation for the origin of soyjak and remains the most accepted theory, even in the light of new evidence and on-going research.
Soylent Wojak theory
On November 19th, 2017, a /v/ user started a thread[3] with an image titled soylent-wojak.jpg. The image not only bore superficial resemble to a conventional 'jak (glasses, stubble, soylent), but the post was also a you-say-this-and-look-like-this type affair. Furthermore, the filename Soylent Wojak neatly shortens to "Soylent Wojak".
Phantom replies
The replies to the first known thread containing soylent-wojak.jpg seem to suggest that similar threads had been made before—the first reply calls it a "forced meme",[4] while another reads "ive been here for some really unfunny and forced memes, but soyboy might take the cake".[5]
NAS allegations
Upon the proposal of the Soylent Wojak theory, critics discounted that soylent-wojak.jpg was the first soyjak on the basis that it's not a soyjak at all,[6][7] as it had a closed mouth and bore little resemblance to modern soyjaks. This prompted a contracted debate.[8]
Other theories
To be researched: further datamining into this thread https://desuarchive.org/qa/thread/4970397/. Can (You) help us?
Furry artist conspiracy theory
Main article: Furry artist conspiracy theory
The furry falseflag is a fabricated myth and debunked conspiracy theory which falsely claims that soyjak was commissioned by a "massive diaper shit loving sperg". The hoax purports that the soy community is actually just one guy spamming "over 100+ wojak edits" which he commissioned instead of his usual order of "furry diaper scat images". Despite having no evidence and being thoroughly debunked and fact-checked by Snopes Politifact the CIA and Mossad, the fraud circulated around /v/ and other boards for a while.[9][10]
Censorship
On September 1st, 2021, an innocuous thread on the 'party discussing the then-recent discoveries was "accidentally" deleted by Soot. He later uploaded a screenshot of the deleted thread for the historical record, but there is no telling what he sanitised or otherwise edited out.
We can only infer that there is something about the origin of soyjak that Soot does not want us to know.
The Lost Basedjaks
For the last time, there is NO SUCH THING as "the lost basedjaks". You WILL NOT attempt to unearth the lost soy scrolls, they DO NOT exist
