Gigachud
Pay your respects here |
Gigachud is a variant of the original chudjak where he is seen as stronger and wearing a salmon t-shirt.
History[edit | edit source]
Gigachud was created at November 2020 by /pol/. it was an early attempt at embracing and claiming the then-recent Chud meme in /pol/'s favor. He is notably stronger than his original counterpart, and his appearance is based on the character of Big Lez (from a webshow called The Big Lez Show).[2] The meme started around once an user realized that Lez resembles Patrick Cruisus because of the haircut and glasses.[3] Then, the Gigachud template was created, with some also noting the resemblence to Senator Armstrong (from Metal Gear Rising),[4] which inspired other formats. The name is obviously a combination between "Gigachad" and "Chud".
Usage[edit | edit source]
The variant is used in context with someone who embraced the pejorative chud adjective and is proud of it. He is shown to have a rivalry with a character called "Bunkercuck" which is in reference to a user of bunkerchan, the creators of "Le /pol/ face". Bunkercuck is often depicted as the regular chud, because of this, some newer memes have created a new dynamic to display Gigachud as a role model for his weaker counterpart. Besides this, he is also notable for his romance with the Pink-Haired Enbie[a], whom he has a pretty good relationship and serves to subvert the common depiction of the average chud as an incel.
Gigachud has occasionally re-appeared in the Sharty, with soyteens creating their own content about it, although since then it has largely died out because of the emergence of similar and more popular Chudjak subvariants, such as Muscular Chud, Unbothered Chud and Perceptive Chud.
