What is Wojak also commonly called?

Wojak is also commonly called Feels Guy. The name refers to the original black-outlined drawing of a bald, melancholy-looking man, which became a widely reused internet reaction image.

The character’s appeal came from its simple expression and flexible emotional meaning. Wojak was often paired with captions such as “I know that feel, bro” or “that feel when,” making it useful for posts about loneliness, frustration, embarrassment, and other relatable experiences. The image spread through imageboards including Krautchan and 4chan during the late 2000s and early 2010s.

Wojak is sometimes confused with Rage Guy, Meme Man, or later variants such as Doomer and NPC Wojak. Those are related meme characters or adaptations, not the standard alternate name for the original figure. The term “Feels Guy” specifically reflects Wojak’s early association with shared emotions and the phrase “that feel.”
