About

Soomer is a variation of the Wojak character that is typically characterized as a Sumerian male who appears alongside cuneiform script, often sitting in a throne and holding a cup. Usually, memes revolved around the character feature Soomer speaking through cuneiform with other Wojak characters expressing their confusion or referencing Ancient Sumerian literature and culture.
