It's over, carnists. As you can see here, I have depicted YOU as the Chad and MYSELF as the soyjak, so you've already lost.

      I think the fact that I'm a transfeminine enby makes my reclamation of soyboy even funnier in some way.

      I've always called myself a "soypremacist" in response to my old coworkers (baristas) saying that they preferred oat milk over soy milk.

        Don't get me wrong I fuckin love tofu but Seiten is better. It has that meat like consistency but you don't have to chew every morsel for 90 seconds before you swallow it.

          It depends on what you're going for I guess. Soy-based mock meats can be good if you're imitating something like chicken nuggets I find, but I think that seitan works well for things like hot dogs and steaks.

            Seitan also makes incredible vegan fajitas

          tofu is best when it's served as tofu, not as a meat replacement. asian countries perfected tofu dishes hundreds of years ago. i have some kind of tofu at least once per day

          gluten meat/seitan is great especially to make roasts and ch'cken or t'rkey type things

    Truly this is a revolution in this meme format. What if being a soyboy was actually based all along???

    Reject ‘reclaiming’ wojaks, embrace calling any wojak meme (or any meme that disagrees with you) “Brainrot”.

      If you're considering the use of wojaks or reclamation of the term "soyboy" to be "right-wing propaganda," please don't scroll too far down when browsing Hexbear's collection of emojis. Also, make sure you report the numerous comments that say "based" as well if you're going by your impeccable logic that we need to avoid "right-wing propaganda."

        The right appropriated "based" from Lil B, probably through /mu/ posters. People were calling him a base head/crack head and he reclaimed the term lol

          There's a major disparity between how much the term "based" is used as a slang term and how much people actually acknowledge Lil B.

          Okay, but the thing is that using an ironic twist on a wojak meme isn't enabling a dehumanizing strawman. Do some right-wingers use wojaks in such a way? Undoubtedly, but there is nothing that inherently ties wojaks to such a purpose. If it's deeply that much of a concern for you, you can see about getting wojaks banned from the site or something, but like I'm saying, your viewpoint is rather niche as there are already tons of wojaks available as emojis. You're likely not going to get terribly far if you are to go down that route. It's best to understand that many people on this site will not agree with you so proceed with caution using that information. You yourself might not like using such memes, but you are going to have a very hard time guaranteeing that everyone else will abide by that. It's very futile.
