About

Cuckjak is a Wojak character that portrays a bespectacled Soyjak looking on as his girlfriend or wife embraces another man, with her shown to be looking back at him and asking, "Are you sure?" to which he responds, "Yes." The meme originates from a 2023 YouTube video titled, "Cuck Cope," but wasn't popularized until 2024 after being reposted to Reddit. In August 2024, the Cuckjak meme was used to attack Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz after Libs of TikTok accused Walz of lying about his wife receiving IVF treatment. The exploitable format is typically used by editing elements of Cuckjak but is also used in object-labeling memes.
