Wojak, also known as Feels Guy, is a simple MS Paint illustration of a bald man with a melancholic expression. It first surfaced on the Polish imageboard Vichan in 2009 before gaining massive popularity on 4chan boards. Initially used to express feelings of loneliness, sadness, or empathy—often accompanied by the phrase 'I know that feel bro'—the character has since evolved into a foundational piece of internet culture. Wojak has spawned countless variations, including the Doomer, Boomer, Soyjak, and Chad, serving as a versatile vessel for social commentary, political satire, and personal relatability across the digital landscape.
