Over the past year or so I’ve seen “chud” cross over from Chapo-adjacent online leftist spaces to general internet lingo. In the process it seems like the meaning has shifted though. To me it was a catch-all term for dumb and buffoonish right-wingers and fascists in general frothingfash

It seems in non-leftist usage chud is just the school shooter wojak and basically means “weird ugly unemployed redditor with mass murder fantasies and implied autism.” The chud is not worthy of scorn because of his far-right politics, but because he is cringe. The original political context of the word has been stripped and replaced by ableism

Are they gonna take large adult son away from us next oooaaaaaaauhhh

    It’s not the opposite of Chad?

    I’m leftist because I thought I could become a Chad while right wingers become chuds and you telling me that I can’t? I hate this site.

      Over the past year or so I’ve seen “Chad” cross over from north-central African-adjacent online geography spaces to general internet lingo. In the process it seems like the meaning has shifted though. To me it was a catch-all term for landlocked countries between Libya and the Central African Republic in general

      It seems in non-geographical usage Chad is just the cheerleader-banging wojak and basically means “weird attractive muscular guy with an active sex life and implied massive dong.” The Chad is not worthy of admiration because of his rich cultural heritage, but because he gets laid. The original geographic context of the word has been stripped and replaced by high school insecurities

      Are they gonna take Djibouti away from us next
