Wojak's face[spelled voyack, pronounced “woah jack”], also known as Feels Guy or erroneously Wojak, is a rage face drawing that portrays a trollface with a sad or blank expression, also on which the original Soyjak face was based on. The original Wojak lacks facial hair unlike Soyjak.
Wojak has probably originated as alternative to trollface.[1] If the evidence is true, it would mean soyjaks, which are based on wojak, are directly related to the rage comics that some express wojaks and soyjaks have replaced. Wojak is troll face theory points out that wojak's nose and wrinkles on the forehead are incredibly similar to the troll face. Additionally, wojak's earliest known file name ciepła twarz.png, (Polish “warm face”) riffs of "cool face" a common name for the troll face at the time.
Wojak was originally used as a stand-in for the author of a post to express emotions and feelings in a candid manner, but with the years have gone by it is mostly used for depicting strawmen or societal stereotypes.
