Feraljak, also known as Eat The Bugs Soyjak, You WILL Soyjak, and Gobbler (to discord trannies), is a soyjak variant composed of a semi-realistic soy face looking at the viewer with a vaguely angry expression. Despite a strong tendency to follow rules, he demonstrates extremely violent impulses and is known to easily fly into fits of rage. Feraljak is a vocal proponent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

History

Whereas other variants have a close connection with their source material, Feraljak's source material was not immediately apparent to the sommunity (soy community). The origin of Feraljak eventually became a long-running mystery, and was the subject of much speculation by experts who attempted to unearth evidence of a possible first trace target. Most teens settled on the opinion that Feraljak was traced from either Sam Hyde or Anthony Fantano, due to superficial similarities. A fringe minority of disgraced soyentists peddled the debunked conspiracy theory that Feraljak was not traced from any image at all and was in fact a wholly original drawing, despite the fact that this is NOT possible and there are ZERO peer-reviewed studies that suggest so.

On October 29th, 2021, Twitter user @Alsuus_official revealed himself as the original artist behind Feraljak, claiming that he had traced it from a thumbnail made by Irish YouTuber and Markiplier collaborator Jacksepticeye. The Tweet soon circulated around both The Party and /qa/, once and for all settling the long-running debate.
