About

Fap Guy is a rage comic character wearing a strained facial expression accompanied by the caption fap fap fap fap, indicating that he or she is masturbating.

Its humorous association with masturbation jokes is believed to have begun on May 31st, when FunnyJunk^[18] user TehEman submitted a comic titled “Fap Fap Fap Fap Guy!” (shown below, right).
