Soyjak.party (often called "The Sharty" or "The Party") is an online imageboard website built around the "Soyjak" meme.
What is Soyjak.party?
• Origin: The site was launched in September 2020 by an anonymous user known as "Soot" after users and threads featuring Soyjak memes were pushed off or purged from traditional 4chan boards.
• Content: It is an anonymous imageboard dedicated to posting crude internet memes, reaction images, and text discussions.
• Reputation: Major watchdog groups, including the Anti-Defamation League, classify the site as an extreme or fringe platform known for hosting toxic, racist, antisemitic, and harassing content.
• The 4chan Hack (2025): The site gained broader attention in April 2025 when a user on soyjak.party claimed responsibility for hacking 4chan, leaking source code, exposing user and janitor/admin emails, and temporarily restoring deleted boards.
• Connection to Violence: Portions of the community and its imagery have occasionally been linked to real-world extremist incidents, including online harassment campaigns and manifestos tied to violent threats.
What is a "Soyjak"?
• Definition: A "Soyjak" is a variation of the classic Wojak (or "Feels Guy") internet drawing.
• Appearance: It typically features an exaggerated, open-mouthed, stressed, or screaming face with distorted features, created in 2017 to mock the stereotypical "soy boy" persona.
• Subtypes: Over the years, dozens of spinoff characters and "jaks" have evolved (such as Smugjak, Chudjak, and Troonjak) used across various fringe internet communities to mock political opponents or cultural archetypes.
