i never understood this meme until it got fleshed out by a person instead of a drawing.

like, in what sort of mind does a chad hold this sort of posture and, even if they did, wouldn't that make them bizarre and off putting? lol

i still don't get the tights, though; i was always under the impression that straight and neurotypical people thought that tights were strange.

Seems to just be a capture mid-movement of a dance

i wondered if it was that too, but it would have to be a ballet dancer since those are probably the only dancers that the straight/neutrotypical people wouldn't think are odd for dancing in tights.

but that doesn't seem to work because ballet dancers aren't typically the people think of when they think "chad"; atleast not so to me in my middle aged mindset.

If he wants to ballet dance, then he does it. That's why he's the Chad.

Because I am very intelligent, this is also how I analyze politics and world eventsthink-about-it

Don't mind me, I'm just frantically extrapolating thoughts and feelings like it's a perpetual Death Note episode or an Ace Attorney chapter...

Me when I see someone crying: They must be sad.
