- xondono 3y agoWether you like the origin or not (I don’t particularly care), I think it’s fair to argue “Chad” is pretty much common parlance on the internet at this point.
- mikrl 3y ago‘Chad’ is common across the whole cyberculture and I’ve seen it used by many of my IRL friends: male, female, cis, trans, left, right and none of whom hate women or are incels. It was popularized in the 2010s by ironic image macros like “the virgin ‘walk’ vs the chad ‘stride’ “
