The Chad and the Chat


To think that two different, nebulous ideas, yet so similarly pronounced, have recently populated the imaginarium of Gen Z onwards: the concept of the Chad, a mythical being that embodies the total imperviousness to criticism, the ultimate Stoic; and the concept of the Chat, the representation of the collective conscious that some chosen famous people can directly commune with and be directly endorsed by, in a paraphilic symbiosis where one cannot grow without the other, yet one can certainly harm the other.

And yet, the relation between the Chad and the Chat would be single-sided: the Chad does not rely on the flattery of the Chat, nor is he affected by the Chat's insults; the Chat can admire and sponsor the Chad, but the Chad will most probably never respond to the Chat's pleas.
