>>4731343>What has a gaggle of mindless spammers ever done for you?Made me laugh a lot. Soijaks are the epitome of modern humour. Specifically, in /qa/ culture - I believe that soijaks are largely hated because they originated as a low-effort strawmanning meme, where people would respond to any attempts at argument by posting a crying wojak quoting the argument and pretend they won the exchange. But nowadays that meme is almost extinct; meanwhile, here on /qa/, wojaks have grown into something more, something vastly bigger than what anyone could have anticipated. Soijaks, as they live today, have nothing in common with their low-effort derailment roots anymore.
Tell me, why do you hate soijaks? Is there any reason you don't consider them worth enjoying - other than their tainted origin? Nowadays, memes like gigachad, "average enjoyer" and many others are FAR more representative of the "you: bad, me: good" low-effort meme format that can be used to maliciously derail genuine arguments. Those types of memes carry an agenda, they're meant to ridicule your opponent's point of view while bringing nothing genuine to the table, and yet they're widely accepted and celebrated; when someone replies to some accusation with a "Yes." face, people laugh, where in the same situation if they were to quote the accusation with a soijak, they'd be ran out of the board.
Meanwhile, soijaks themselves have become a vehicle of absurdist humour; they are pure, and their posters have no agenda. Is sproke a way to ridicule people with opposing opinions? Is thoughjak used to express political views? Are soiduel threads attempts at genuine argument that get "ruined" by shitposting? The answers are of course no, no and no. Soijaks are genuine, pure shitposting culture, created for the single purpose of having a laugh at absurdity and surrealism. At worst, they're a satire of shitposting itself.
