    Soyjaks

    Which is another harmful stereotype around the manly meat-eater vs. weak ‘soyboy’ tropes (which also has a history in anti-Asian racism)

      Is this a bit where you play a caricature of a 2010 Tumblr user? Soyjak is the name of the meme character.

          And like the chad guy, we’re using it to make fun of people who use it in earnest. We’re not calling people soyboys and do not need to avoid the word “soyjak”

      Technically yes, but the irony is that soyjak is usually used to depict exactly the sort of people who’d perpertrate the soyboy trope, rather than people who’d fit the trope.
