this isn't a story i enjoy telling, but here goes anyway. in summer 2009 krautchan's /int/ board was a slow moving relatively civilized place. it had 7 threads per page and 7 pages and it usually took about a week for a thread to 404. people discussed things, generally asking people in other countries about this or that bit of minutae which was different from their homeland, there was a lot of language study as well and history discussion. then this polish kid showed up and started spamming moronic threads and generally being a retarded ITG & attention whore , so this british guy first started having some fun with the guy, mimicking him and whatnot and then he invented the polandball comics as another way to make fun of this polish guy who was called wojak because wojak is a brand of beer, its pretty much the bud light of poland or maybe a bit more lowbrow. after polandball , krautchan's /int/ board became wildly popular, the post counts started going up like mad, they've actually been doubling every three months and polandball was created at the end of august 2009, so thats 2^5 by now. wojak was lost in the flood of polandball popularity and nobody would pay attention to him. after a few months of being ignored, wojak took a drawing from whatever the fuck the polish imagebaord was before tapchan (i forget), which was and started posting "that feel when no GF" threads about 50 times a day. after a few weeks of doing this, people stopped just ignoring wojak and stated to make funny variations on the drawing and this is how the "that feel" "meme" was started.
