About
Nujak, also known as Nujack and Nu Wojak, is a series of illustrations featuring a cartoonish depiction of the MS Paint character Wojak, which has been widely accused of being a forced meme on various 4chan boards.
Origin
On January 19th, 2018, a cartoon-style Pink Wojak was submitted in a thread about cryptocurrency crashes to 4chan's /biz/ board (shown below).[2] In response, many derided the updated illustration as being "too Reddit."

I have seen the thread, but I just can't tell Did he geniunely just want to share his art with people? Did he try to create a new meme? Was it a ploy to destroy Wojak from the inside out?
