Because of the spam, I can make a psychological thriller comic about soyjak.

Actual good idea. It would be interesting to see Soyjak characters in scenarios that aren't played entirely for laughs, and actually had some depth to them.

Since my theory is a psychological one, it's hard to prove or disprove either way, but I understand the rebuttals.

Is the issue really the number of images though? Even at its most spammy, I highly doubt the number of images could possibly ever exceed the amount of art (some of the most popular content on the site) that floods the new uploads on a daily basis. Add on to that that it's also confined (almost) exclusively to one gallery, and you should understand why I think people's anger at the images may run deeper.

There is nothing even remotely touching on reality in soyjacks, it's nothing but stereotypes

-Kenetic Kups

As Wrazid has said already, stereotypes are based on reality. But this meme especially is grounded in truth, as it originated not as a Wojak drawing but as an arguably accurate depiction of real people. Parts of the stereotype also do overlap with a decent portion of the userbase, as I described in my theory.

It stopped being a meme about making fun of a real life stereotype when people started making wojaks about mocking every single category of people in existence. There are wojaks made to mock right wingers, left wingers, Tumblr users, anime fans, 4channers, redditors, people of every single nationality, people who like any console, PC, game, comic, TV show, political belief etc etc etc.

You can stop with your bullshit excuse/self made belief that people here find soyjak annoying because it hits them close. Of fucking course there must be at least one among the thousands made that hits something they like.

This meme format is not about making fun of stereotypical SJWs anymore, it's about making a parody of every single human being that isn't a jaded cunt that hates everything and which only hobby is browsing chan boards to vent their anger anonymously.

Contrarianism isn't following a consistent mindset. If ALL spam of memes – regardless whether you like it or not – was bad, then make it a fucking point. Don't single out one thing and act like you're doing justice for the site when really, you look like a fool silly with a bias. The "deliberate trolling campaign" came about after you all pretended like it was a big issue and so it really is yourselves to blame by making a mountain out of an anthill.

Give me some examples of meme entries in recent memory where the grand majority of the images spammed are low quality cut and pastes of a face shoddily tacked on to other random memes, celebrities and game characters, because if there are, there aren't many and certainly not as prominent as soyjak.

Most users don't actually hate the soyjak meme itself, if that were the case, why on earth do they appear on the trending page every so often? It's because those specific images are actually well made and not just a copy paste. The consistent, low quality copy paste spam is the reason people hate it, at least with art spam you get different styles and artists instead of one singular piece constantly being posted.

How about instead of this black and white fallacy of "Either all spam is okay or none of it is" you actually try to understand the reasons why this particular one is hated, rather than yelling into the void about biases.

Nobody likes to hear the truth therefore your message means nothing. Still a decent reason.

IDK about that, kid. Don't immediately ban them until they actually spam the gallery.

Maybe if you want to get them to stop, maybe give them a taste of their own medicine like spamming fetish art on /qa/ or something

Like that time I visited a thread where someone spammed that shitty Willie Wonka reference porn or buff characters. I saw one with Venture Bros. kids (forgot their name though). Blonde one was fat and the brown one was buff. My ID was banned.

It was banned because I commented on the image

Oh, you're Artichoke, I've heard of you. Anyway, they're upset that it keeps getting spammed constantly. It's not like the softcore hentai spam whereas that's at least appealing to look at, wojaks are grotesque and usually unfunny due to overuse.

Sure without any context it's "just" a silly face. The intent of the meme is mean-spirited, it's meant to be a "this is what people who like this look like: unflattering, unkempt, and lacking self-awareness". They were being posted quite frequently to all fandom galleries (I think I saw three alone with minor differences in the Gura gallery). In the grand scheme of things it's relatively minor but a repeated annoyance at a favored location of people is going to make that minor annoyance a frequent annoyance, which is by far the intent of the spam posting.

Yet channels like MilleniaThinker use it as something else. I do appreciate few videos I have seen like the one where Chad gives him some guy an instructions or the one that shows who is a fake Chad.

Ya know, I can appreciate that someone finally just steps forward and admits they specifically dislike soyspam because it's not smutspam.

It will change absolutely nothing. But just wanted to drop that.

Actually, I take that "worse than /v/" part back, at least it's just a niche board where all the autism is contained rather than one people actually use.

You weren’t even cued to speak about how ok it is to see big titty anime babes showing up in the uploads vs. a meme you don’t like and you did so anyways

This all seems a little ridiculous and far fetched, don't you think? An entire conspiracy theory about a silly bald guy? The meme's kind of dumb, but it's a meme, they're just dumb, and this is a meme documenting site, of course there's gonna be a lot of it being posted here, there are many examples of soyjak online because it's popular.

And if you don't like it… you can just… ignore it? Sure it might be all over the place sometimes but… just… does it really matter….?

I seriously don't get it.

I was comparing it to something seen as annoying and then explaining why people are annoyed more than usual about soyspam than by other types of spam. Also, to point out "big titty anime babes showing up in the uploads vs. a meme you don’t like", I don't like either types of spam and you're twisting what I said. Lastly, I don't need your or anyone's fucking "cue" to post, Artichoke, when what I'm saying is on topic.

It's not a conspiracy when they've repeatedly admitted flooding the gallery. But, yeah, this is dumb, so I suggest people to just block the gallery instead of complaining about it, because what they want is attention and a rise from people, so just ignore it. Speaking of which, how do you block galleries? There's no block button when I go to it so I assume there's something else you have to do.

You don't need a block button to ignore things like this. It's not like the site sends you a notification every time a soyjak is uploaded. The soyjaks aren't disrupting your life and they barely affect browsing aside from… existing. Like, oh shit, a soyjak. Okay. It isn't comparable to gore or straight up porn because those can be seen as legitimately disturbing sometimes, this is just a dumb face. If you consider it at that same level, you probably shouldn't be on a meme website. People call soyjaks low effort garbage, which they do tend to be, but that's because it's a meme; 90% of memes that get made are low effort garbage. And maybe a few people have flooded, but that doesn't mean we should ban soyjaks altogether, take care of the people that are actually causing problems, but don't take away the entire thing. I mean, what exactly are you expecting to happen here? It's a shitty meme. Oh well. You can talk about how shitty it is all you want, but don't get too ridiculous.

I agree, I didn't say anything contrary to that other than asking if there is even a way to block the gallery. I literally said in my post to ignore them because they want attention.

>Okay. It isn't comparable to gore or straight up porn because those can be seen as legitimately disturbing sometimes, this is just a dumb face. If you consider it at that same level, you probably shouldn't be on a meme website.
Nobody brought up anything like this, nobody thinks soyjaks are comparable to gore porn, that is dumb. If you're referring to me comparing it to the softcore hentai spam then you're twisting what I said.

>People call soyjaks low effort garbage, which they do tend to be, but that's because it's a meme; 90% of memes that get made are low effort garbage.

Are you referring to me? Other people have probably suggested this but I never said that nor do I agree a meme should be banned on a meme documentation site because some people are being annoying or because the meme itself is bad, that's stupid.

>I mean, what exactly are you expecting to happen here? It's a shitty meme.
I expect the mods to just clean up the spam, which is what they have been doing.

>Oh well. You can talk about how shitty it is all you want
That is what we are already doing.

>but don't get too ridiculous.
Ridiculous doing what? It is a little ridiculous about us fussing about wojaks considering there are bigger issues with the site currently and mods basically have the spam handled. But what are we doing here that is so ridiculous other than complaining about image spam?

Can you explain in a much more reasonable and understandable way*

It was a big reply so I had to break it up into sections and I didn't want to use quotation marks, so I used the ebin meme arrow and italicized the paragraphs which were theirs and put my response one line below without the arrow and unitalicized, then put a space between each section to make the wall of text as readable as possible. That is the most understandable way I can think to format a sectioned up response like that. If you're referring to my responses themselves, I responded directly to what he was saying, was very clear in my language and used proper grammar and spelling. You want to know what isn't "reasonable and understandable"? Replying to someone by saying that they're not being "reasonable and understandable" without elaborating why that is at all.

so is that all you came to say, or was there another reason you've been bumping a two week old decrepit thread that hasn't had any recent posts besides yourself?

But joke aside, IDK what to say, kiddo. I just wanna know why users like green light and I_Love_Wojaks, the ine who made a Soyjak variant of Carnage, got banned.

I didn't see them act like douchebags, unlike Mohn and Albinorhino who "just couldn't stop"., even if I had a normal chat with them.

I have nothing else to say. ;)

Douchebags, son.

They can use it out of context and turn it as a weapon to put your opinion under it. However, it never bothered me, but I joined the wagon. Even I still think this site has an "unhealthy hate boner", but I don't want to act like a jerk or complainer.
