Usually I'm all for uncanny ugly stuff

But there is something so genuinely annoying about how they look that makes me cringe so hard its actually a visceral reaction. I don't know if it's because 90% of them make eye contact at the veiwer (my autism hates eye contact), or that most of them are such mean-spirited characatures (the anti-trans ones in particular) that it immediately disgusts me or what.

It's like I can smell the intent to manipulate with stereotypes and it immediately rage baits me.

I personally really enjoy wojaks, but wojak community is generally filled with far-right content. The best example of it is the soyjak wiki. Not to mention the fact that one of the most popular wojak, the soy wojak has originated from 4chan

TL:DR:
