Based On | Guinness World Record Soyjak |
Wholesome Soyjak is a common subvariant of the Guinness World Record Soyjak who wears a trimmed beard, sometimes has no eyebrows, and is usually smiling. He is generally portrayed as benevolent and kind. This variant is often used to express or point out simple happiness or joy.[1] [2] [3] Sometimes, however, his wholesome nature is subverted entirely and he is shown performing bad deeds.[4] This is shown most frequently in the "ominous" version of Wholesome Soyjak, who is seen cloaked in shadow at all times.
Over time this soyjak has evolved into Impish Soyak Ears and Ishish Soyak Ears.
History
The first known occurrence of this soyjak was on 4channel's /qa/ board. [5] but it judging by the filename, it was likely downloaded from elsewhere. Given that the Unix filename starts with 15, it could not have come from soyjak.party (filenames had already reached long after 16 by Post 3,)[6] but also the Unix filenames of the two variants posted in the first thread are sequential, meaning that they must have come from a board where multiple images per post are allowed (not 4chan).

Ishish Soyak Ears is a variant of the Wholesome Soyjak with large eyes, a large nose, a small mouth, trimmed hair, a monobrow and, as the name would imply, a pair of ears. It was created by the same Swedish chud who created the original Soyjak and Impish Soyjak Ears. [7]
The variant remained rarely used for a long time, but saw a resurgence on soyjak.party in mid-May 2021, [8] where it was mostly used to portray Muslims. [9] [10] [11] [12]
