Bearjak is a prominent variation of the classic Wojak meme character, redesigned to resemble a bear to represent 'bearish' sentiment in financial markets. Primarily popular within crypto and stock trading communities on platforms like 4chan’s /biz/ and Reddit, Bearjak serves as the pessimistic counterpart to the exuberant Bullish Wojak. The character is often depicted with a somber or smug expression, signaling a market downturn or mocking investors during a crash. Over time, it has evolved beyond finance to represent a general state of grumpiness or cynical realism in various online subcultures.
