I mean, it is a slur. It's a derogatory term for a specific group of people. But it's like with cracker, it's never been used to oppress anyone so I don't care and neither should you.

💡 Key Point: "Chud" is not a neutral term—it's a slur meant to dehumanise or mock, often implying someone is primitive, ugly, hateful, or socially disconnected.

Calling for this to be made a tagline

It’s like watching a teacher do nothing about the much stronger and bigger captain of the football team beating up the nerd every day, but getting the nerd in trouble because he weakly and lightly slapped his bully, who easily laughed it off.

i used to be on this other small forum like a decade ago, and this mid 40s right-wing, pro-war, stereotypical social conservative used to get Huge Mad when i referred to right wingers as "reactionaries". as in "the reactionaries are using their blundered handling of katrina as an example of why federal emergency support and aid is a bad idea and shouldn't be funded."

he constantly tried to claim it was a slur and have its use banned.

people just laughed at him or tried to explain how innocuous/historically factual it was, but eventually (years) some other right wing douche bought the small forum, became admin, and banned me.

no matter what you call these sniveling worms, the absolute slime of humanity, they will cry foul and piss themselves in rage.

[-] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 35 points 4 weeks ago

The best thing to call them is "liberals". Because it's factually accurate, and they'd hate it more than anything.

[-] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 13 points 4 weeks ago

Works on this website too! For the same reason!

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 18 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

This. Bullies are almost always extremely powerful both physically and socially, and know society will always take their side.

Same reason bullies in school will fake cry when the nerd they’re bullying tells them “please stop, you’re being a jerk!”

Charisma is a suspect trait.

[-] purpleworm@hexbear.net 3 points 4 weeks ago

Bullies are almost always extremely powerful both physically and socially,

Very often it's just one or the other, and not necessarily "extremely powerful" either. There are lots of people who are looked down upon by most of the people in their life and use whatever little bit of power they have to abuse people with even less power to feel better about themselves.

and know society will always take their side.

The state often will, but broader society is in fact different from high school.

[-] Llituro@hexbear.net 43 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

i'm still pissed that the kids changed the meaning of chud. now they essentially use it as a synonym of loser.

source: it's the number one insult i hear the high school kids hurl at each other.

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 37 points 4 weeks ago

I’ll take it as a win. An insult for the right entered the mainstream and can be used apolitically.

Whenever it happens, if you can bait an actual reactionary to say how it’s a left-wing dogwhistle, just play dumb and make them look unhinged.

[-] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 10 points 4 weeks ago

I thought it meant more like a stereotypical fat slob to them. The few times I heard it that seemed to be the implication.

[-] Llituro@hexbear.net 10 points 4 weeks ago

definitely part of the connotations

[-] mar_k@hexbear.net 8 points 4 weeks ago

it predominantly means ugly but I'd say 50/50 know there's still connotation with right-wingers/ 4chan basement dwellers

[-] supafuzz@hexbear.net 34 points 4 weeks ago

isn't chud a Matt Christman original banger? the LLMs aren't giving credit to our philosopher king

[-] InexplicableLunchFiend@hexbear.net 29 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

technically it came from C.H.U.D. a crappy horror b-movie made in 1984*. Stands for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers

Christman popularized it in the modern usage yes.

This one is even funnier, this is what google gave me:

lmao it just means fascist. Google AI trying to read into to make it ableist or punching down when it literally just means fascist goober.

[-] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 19 points 4 weeks ago

No it means chewing gum, idiot

[-] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 17 points 4 weeks ago

Jeeze when did you get so mean cri

[-] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 16 points 4 weeks ago
[-] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 10 points 4 weeks ago

There is something wrong with our owl. They are far more aggressive than usual. Anything you wanna talk about friend? (slightly serious)

Moulting season (I'm just being a silly. Sorry, didn't mean to take it too far)

[-] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 10 points 4 weeks ago

Nah you are fine I know you well enough just going on with the bit but shit is all fucked rn so just making sure.

[-] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 25 points 4 weeks ago

if they don't want to be called chuds maybe they should stop being cannibal human underground dwellers? shrug-outta-hecks

[-] Crucible@hexbear.net 23 points 4 weeks ago

Dumb fuck LLM didn't even train on cinema classic Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers

[-] tamagotchicowboy@hexbear.net 8 points 4 weeks ago

Silly Markov chained up LLMs have gaps in their knowledge you could run a herd of elephants through fools trust them with important things.

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 19 points 4 weeks ago

Didn’t a bunch of landlords complain about the “lord” part of their title being uncomfortable when people complained about their landlords?

[-] axont@hexbear.net 19 points 4 weeks ago

I'll acquiesce to their demands and call them blood drinking ghouls

[-] Rom@hexbear.net 18 points 4 weeks ago

It's a hate crime! Well, I hated it.

[-] Arahnya@hexbear.net 17 points 4 weeks ago

fun fact : "slop" originated as a slur

[-] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 5 points 4 weeks ago

Thought it was a verb to begin with

[-] Arahnya@hexbear.net 3 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Turns out the real enemy all along was 4chxn, not the slop trough!

Aww man this while time I thought it was a type of cheese! Mmm mmm chudder cheeeeese

[-] Dr_Pepper@hexbear.net 8 points 4 weeks ago

Need a chudder cheese emoji

[-] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 14 points 4 weeks ago

This is dated information. Chud has been metabolized to generally mean ugly.

Me when I'm laughing at the latest internet drama but remember I'm an unemployed whatever year old: I'm such a fat fuckin chud :(

The Twitch streamer Ludwig had a Minecraft music parody contest while he was speed running and had dozens of people call him a chud for being low ranked.

You might even see people talk about someone having "chud face" when they look like the meme or like that guy who started it.

Right wingers have even reclaimed it in a sense of "sorry lefty, the chud gets the girl". They are, of course, ripped and the girl is dotting and unthinking.

So chud has been passed around the ecosystem.

[-] purpleworm@hexbear.net 4 points 4 weeks ago

dotting

Doting?

[-] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 3 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah I've seen people start to label themselves as chuddies.

[-] someone@hexbear.net 13 points 4 weeks ago

We should make up some new slurs for weirdly specific actions. I hereby declare that anyone who rubs chunky peanut butter into their hair is a "burlaimist". Normal people rub smooth peanut butter into their hair instead.

Fucking burlaimists.

[-] WokePalpatine@hexbear.net 6 points 4 weeks ago

I'm trying to make modspawn a thing.

[-] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 12 points 4 weeks ago

Screw my stupid chud life... ooooooooooooooh

[-] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 7 points 4 weeks ago

That sounds like a terrible reboot spinoff of a '90s sitcom lol

[-] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 9 points 4 weeks ago

Its ok as a chud i give everyone here the pass

[-] SchillMenaker@hexbear.net 7 points 4 weeks ago

I am so primitive and ugly. Looks like it's my time to shine.

[-] quarrk@hexbear.net 3 points 4 weeks ago

Isn’t the term used specifically because it isn’t a slur? Unlike the litany of ableist slurs in mainstream rotation
