The Okay Guy is a quintessential character from the 'Rage Comics' era that first surfaced on 4chan and Reddit around 2010. Unlike other rage faces that express intense anger or joy, the Okay Guy represents a state of pathetic resignation and submissive acceptance of an undesirable outcome. He is typically depicted as the victim of a joke or a situation where he has no power to argue, simply responding with a quiet, sad 'okay.' This relatable portrayal of minor defeat turned it into one of the most enduring symbols of early 2010s internet culture, often used to close out multi-panel comic strips after a moment of rejection.
