Introduction

The story of the sharty (soyjak.party) is one that you dramanauts are hopefully at least crudely familiar with. If not, the only thing you really need to know is that the sharty is a website for posting soyjaks. However, certain soyteens noticed a problem with their hobby: Due to the nature of being an imageboard, their gems would quickly get slid off and disappear, with no guarantee anyone would save them. Thus, in the summer of 2021 the Soybooru was created under the domain booru.soy (currently soybooru.com).

As you can see by the oldest submissions, the original purpose of the 'ru was simple: Archiving soyboy woahjacks so no one would ever face the horrible situation of not having the correct soyjak to quote someone online with. For a long time this was all there was to the site.

War of the Shitalians

But where things get interesting for us is on July 31st 2022, on the 4chan /int/ board. A local Bolivian residing in Argentina has snapped and fired first shot in what would soon be known as the Italo-Argentine war.

This bold declaration of war would not go unanswered of course, and soon the board fought a fierce battle between Italians and Argentinians, both calling each other obsessed. But as local jannies swept up the fighting, countrywarriors would soon find refuge in the booru to continue their crusade. A user called Italian_Chad, self proclaimed "germanic aryan", would post a brown 'plier edit mocking "Shitgentinians" for being not white, in order to troll Satoko_houjo_fan during an argument of Lionel Messi's true ancestry. Things escalated and not soon after, the site looked like this:

This war would last for a few weeks, with both sides consistently pumping out brown 'jak edits and making the 'ru unusable for anyone just looking for soyjaks. Irishmen and Belgians would also briefly get involved. But eventually, even the mods of the booru had enough and added filters for the words italaryan and shitgentinian, among other changes. Some users would evade the filters (such as spelling shitalian as shitalalalian), but the conflict mostly froze over. That was until...

The Mexcrement Campaign

When the users realized the anti-shitalian from /int/ was a latinx , they quickly suspected it was the aforementioned Satoko_Houjo_Fan. Mexico quickly took Argentina's place as the #1 target for GODtalians to unleash their daily attacks on. Famously, Satoko (better known as Shitoko among 'ru users) would comment "obsessed brimstone" under every single post mentioning him, enticing the rest to keep making more and more anti-mexibrap content. Some would engage in falseflaggng, such as creating accounts with names similar to Satoko and uploading images proclaiming their love for BBC and trans-affirming surgery .

Shitoko would ally with other users to take turns calling Italian_Chad an an "offsite subhuman" , "groomercord foodist p-dophile" and even "shitskin" , but they would change teams after Braptoko was found commenting "cute" under a post featuring a child drawn in a shota artstyle . Now he was the target of provocative countrywar edits, and eventually one user having him in mind (obsessed) would draw the now famous (and most succesful post-/qa/) variant, Meximutt.

Shortly after his release, Satoko would delete his account, citing too much bullying as the reason for his departure. Shitalians were ready to pop their champagne bottles , but then suddenly, a revelation would shake the foundations of the website...

The (wo)man behind it all

One day it was uncovered that a user called moot (not to be confused with the valid transwoman from 4chan ) was behind more than 300 accounts falseflagging both as Satoko_Houjo_Fan and Italian_Chad, to make it seem like they were falseflagging in order to poison the entire conflict. 'Ru users were in disarray . Have they been duped? More digging was done, and people found out that this nebulous moot was in fact a regular of jakparty.soy (or the jarty), a splinter site of the sharty and historically hostile. Setting aside their differences; Shitalians, Shitgentinians and Mexcrements would team up to create the ultimate soyjak to BTFO the jartycuck for all eternity. As you can see below, great effort was taken in each iteration to portray their enemy fairly and accurately, while maintaining their status of not being obsessed:

Along with this stunning portrait some have accompanied him with music , singing "Oh I'm a Jartycuck" to the tune of the gummy bear song. Give it a listen!

It hits mainstream

By now booru culture has become so neurodivergent that even regular soyteens have trouble understanding them at times. On the sharty, a thread was made discussing this trend of what they call "slopjaks": Soyjaks that require more seethe to be created than they will ever generate. They typically have an abundance of things attached that the creator doesn't like, are brown, and usually pedophilic, gay, stinky, fat and every other conceivable insult. In order to parody this trend, the ultimate slopjak was made:

But what they didn't realize was that booru users did not understand it was supposed to be a parody. Instead they one-upped it with even more extreme slopjaks to fight an imaginary enemy attacking them, and soon enough they became a staple of sharty culture. Slopjak quoting has in parts replaced soyquoting, and is sometimes blamed as the reason for the soysphere losing relevance on the general Internet.

Conclusion

I will now end this post with a collection of booru gems . Treat these like museum artworks, and remember that you specifically look like all of these.
