The 'Chud' meme, primarily manifested through the 'Chudjak' illustration, evolved from the acronym for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers into a potent piece of internet slang. Originally used on imageboards like 4chan as a derogatory term for a specific type of reactionary individual, the character is often depicted with thick glasses, a specific haircut, and a blank or smug expression. It became globally recognized through the 'The West has fallen, billions must die' catchphrase, which parodies extreme doom-posting and hyper-dramatic geopolitical commentary. Today, it is used both unironically and as a layer of meta-irony to mock various online subcultures, political stances, and the 'Soyjak' vs 'Chad' dichotomy.
