The left panel features the Soyjak (glasses, receding hairline, mouth agape in outrage) delivering a long, emotional objection. The right panel features the Nordic/Yes Chad (muscular, bearded, calm blue eyes) responding with a single word or short phrase, usually just \"Yes.\" The format distills every online argument into its final form: one person losing their mind, the other unmoved. The Soyjak originated from the broader Wojak family around 2017-2018; see Soyjak Pointing for the enthusiastic variant and NPC Wojak for the conformist angle.","format":"template","textBoxes":[{"label":"Soyboy Text","x":3,"y":75,"w":47,"h":22,"placeholder":"NOOO YOU CANT JUST","fontFamily":"Impact","fontColor":"#000000","strokeWidth":0,"isBold":true,"isItalic":false,"isAllCaps":true,"textAlign":"center","fontSize":32},{"label":"Chad Text","x":50,"y":75,"w":47,"h":22,"placeholder":"YES","fontFamily":"Impact","fontColor":"#000000","strokeWidth":0,"isBold":true,"isItalic":false,"isAllCaps":true,"textAlign":"center","fontSize":32}],"howToMake":["Soyboy vs Yes Chad is loaded and ready for your text","Left text goes below the Soyjak: something long, panicked, or overly emotional.
