ALERT: THIS IS A FORCED MEME |
Feels Guy will be posted by the same unfunny newfag until you like it. |
Feels Guy (also called Wojak) is an expression meme used to convey empathy towards or agree with someone else's feeling or opinion, popular by the saying "I feel you, bro" or "I know that feel, bro" on many chans. It is also known as "tu uczucie" or "to uczócie." It's a simple exploitable reaction image of a bald man that's always sad. The face is often seen in TFW threads that describe emotional situations, usually regarding "tfw no gf". It's almost the same as Pepe, the sad frog. Like Pepe, the feels meme has been taken over by 16 year old girls and normies on Tumblr and Reddit who commment "omg right in the feels" on every sob story or nostalgic picture.
Feel threads are mostly found on boards such as /r9k/ and /adv/, however, they have become commonplace on almost every board. /mu/, /v/, /fit/ and /sp/ have constant feel threads which are mostly normalfags complaining about fucking up with their date on Tinder or being too shy to talk to the qt girl in their math class.
Origin
It has been rumored that it was first posted on a German image board called Krautchan[1] on May, 2010. On February 26th of 2012, a user named "Voyack" posted an AMA thread on Reddit[2] saying that he was "Wojak," the creator of the meme.
Voyack also said that the face came from a Polish image board called Vichan and was named "ciepła twarz.jpg," which means "warm face." A decade later, in January 2023, a user replied to the thread taking credit for the original drawing; the name "warm face" being a riff on "cool face", a common misnomer for Trollface around the time, and a meme that Wojak/Voyack incessantly posted on the board. Though it's impossible to know whether this is the actual artist, users of soyjak.party have pointed out the similarities between Feels Guy and Trollface, such as the shape of his nose, his eyebrows, and the lines on his forehead. These similarities, combined with the original filename, is generally accepted as proof that Feels Guy and Trollface are canonically the same character with different facial expressions.

The phrase was usually paired with the face drawn simply in Paint to share mostly butthurt by You. By then, it exploded on 4chan as usual by suicidal faggots in green text story threads with the caption "I know that feel, bro" and the face is often used in discussions such as that feel and/or that feel when. It's a great way to turn a thread into an instant hugbox.
