About
Nujak, also known as Nujack and Nu Wojak, is a series of illustrations featuring a cartoonish depiction of the MS Paint character Wojak, which has been widely accused of being a forced meme on various 4chan boards.
Origin
On January 19th, 2018, a cartoon-style Pink Wojak was submitted in a thread about cryptocurrency crashes to 4chan's /biz/ board (shown below).[2] In response, many derided the updated illustration as being "too Reddit."

I have seen the thread, but I just can't tell Did he geniunely just want to share his art with people? Did he try to create a new meme? Was it a ploy to destroy Wojak from the inside out?

This is pretty much what "Normie" was to "Normalfag".
A clean, soul-less, family friendly imitation.

The original looks more or less like an outline of a human face. This one clearly looks like a streamlined, stylized version, drawn in accordance with cartooning conventions. I mean, check out that classic h-shaped ear detail.

it's clean, and that's the problem.
wojack and other mspaint faces are great because of how grungy and rough they look and how easy they are to slap together.
also how bizarre or gross the subject matter is, clean wojack will always have less of a good feel to it
