What is soyface?

Soyface is an internet meme that depicts a person with a facial expression characterized by wide eyes, an open mouth, and a slight smile. It is often used online to mock or criticize individuals perceived as overly enthusiastic, naive, or easily impressed, particularly regarding topics considered politically correct or aligned with certain ideologies. The expression is often associated with consuming soy-based products, hence the name, although this is often used in a derogatory or stereotypical manner. The meme frequently appears in online discussions and imageboards as a reaction image or as part of a larger comic or illustration. It is used to express disagreement or derision towards the subject being depicted, often implying a lack of critical thinking or genuine emotion. The usage of soyface can be seen as offensive and is often used in a politically charged context. The meme is usually linked to the NPC Wojak image and is often used by people on the opposite end of the political spectrum, usually right-leaning people.
