Quoted By:
Basedjak, a portmanteau of "onions" and "wojak", is a variation of Wojak that combines Wojak-style illustrations with features of a onions boy or "nu-male". It is typically used in online discourse, such as 4chan and various other sites and imageboards, to mock an opponent's position by quoting them alongside a Basedjak image. The first example of Basedjak appeared in December 2017 on 4chan's /int/ board. It quickly gained notoriety on the site, spawning many edits and variants, commonly mocking interests associated with "onions boys", including use of sites such as Reddit or 9gag, playing Nintendo Switch, or cuckoldry, among other things. Basedjaks usually have large open mouths. Aside from the original Basedjak variant, a Wojak edit with glasses and a scraggly beard, it became popular to trace real-life people perceived to fit the "onions boy" stereotype, a common example being a photograph posted by John Oberg on Twitter, in which he is shown alongside another man who is pointing to a sign for Beyond Fried Chicken outside of a KFC restaurant.
