I’ve always thought this but never said it until it came up in a conversation today.... Chad is basically a slightly more PC Pepe in human avatar. Both have a clearly incel-like figure as natural antithesis. Has anyone unpacked this further? I’m not imagining this rhyme am I?

Pepe is the incel and Chad is their enemy, because Pepe is an adaptable symbol you _could_ make a Chad Pepe but the frog is a clear symbol of the rejected and outcast

I’m not sure that works. The meme template above clearly violates that reading though. And the signature knowing smirk is inconsistent with the abject humiliation position of the incel. Pepe is never shown humiliated or wretched.
