SoyBooru (formerly OnionsBooru) is an online imageboard that serves as a platform for sharing and discussing Soyjaks, a type of internet meme that originated on 4chan. The site is also known as OnionsBooru and is a replacement for soybooru.booru.org, which was deleted due to spam flooding in August 2021. On September 6th, 2021, the owner of OnionsBooru transferred ownership to Soot, and the booru was released to the public once again on September 7th, 2021.

History[edit]

SoyBooru was launched on August 23rd, 2021 with the purpose of hosting a user-submitted archive of Soyjak images.[1]

It was recognized as a good source for soyjaks, but its moderation was not always sufficient. The owner and moderator of SoyBooru was inactive, and as a result, the site was often subject to spam and "coal" attacks.

On August 25th, 2021, after user Soyak requested ownership of the site, the entire site was deleted by booru.org admin "Mr K.", due to prohibited content, including real-life pornography and low-resolution gore images.

A few days prior to the deletion of SoyBooru, a "Chud" posted a thread on the /soy/ board of soyjak.party, requesting that someone make a new soyjak booru. Shortly after, a private soyjak booru was made public, and later received official recognition as SoyBooru's successor in a pinned post on / soy /.

This new site, originally called OnionsBooru, is now known as SoyBooru, and is a platform for the collection and sharing of soyjak images.

On September 6th, 2021, the owner of OnionsBooru transferred ownership to Soot, and the booru was released to the public once again on September 7th, 2021.

Culture[edit]

A “Soyjak” is an internet meme consisting of a drawing of a bald man with a surprised expression. The term “Soyjak” is a combination of “Soy” (boy) and “Wojak” (another internet meme drawing). The term is often used to describe men who are perceived as nerdy, weak or feminine.

In addition to Soyjaks, the site also features a variant of Wojaks known as :

- Chudjak or Polljak, which pokes fun at right-wing / pol / users. Chudjak's facial features include almond-shaped eyes, thick-rimmed glasses, and a prominent chin. The face is based on the El Paso shooter.

- Cobson, a Soyjak based on Jobe Smith from the 1992 Sci-Fi film "The Lawnmower Man. "Being one of the more controversial characters, a clique of new users formed Cobson around 2022.

In Addition, Anonymous users are called "Chuds" if they do not have an account.
