About

GigaChad is a nickname associated with the art project berlin.1969 / Ernest Khalimov,^[1] which is a series of photoshopped photographs of several models created by Russian photographer Krista Sudmalis for her project Sleek'N'Tears.^[4] The name "GigaChad" indicates that the person, who was initially assumed to be real, is the ultimate Chad Thundercock, an internet archetype representing an ultra-masculine, physically attractive male. Online, the term was popularized within various incel communities.

Origin

On October 15th, 2017, an anonymous Redditor published a link to the @sleekntears Instagram page in /r/bodybuilding^[7] subreddit. The post received more than 495 points (92% upvoted) and 100 comments in less than four years.

On October 16th, 2017, a photo of Khalimov was submitted to the /pol/ board^[3] on 4chan, which described him as "Gigachad. The perfect human specimen destined to lead us against the reptilians" (shown below).

Spread

That day, October 16th, 2017, a post about Khalimov was submitted to the Lookism Forums,^[5] referring to him as "Ultra Chad." On October 24th, a picture was submitted to Imgur with the text, "It appears that The Gigachad is attempting to clone himself" (shown below).

On February 17th, 2018, Redditor ForgottenShark uploaded a photograph of Khalimov titled "Gigachad, the destroyer of virgins" to the /r/Bossfight^[2] subreddit (shown below, left). On April 27th, Redditor GoldFuzzy uploaded an image macro titled "Full Explanation of GIGACHAD" to /r/braincels^[6] (shown below, right).

Average Fan vs. Average Enjoyer

In March 2021, GigaChad saw a spike in popularity online after a montage of his photographs was used in the video version of Average Fan vs. Average Enjoyer meme format.

On February 7th, 2021, content creator Socialism Done Left made a version of the meme that gained over 190,000 views on YouTube^[8] and 134,000 views on Twitter^[9] in one month (shown below). The video features the sped-up video "itzmefraz episode 7" by YouTube^[10] user itz me Fraz as "fan" and a slideshow of GigaChad images as "enjoyer." The video features the song Can You Feel My Heart by Bring Me The Horizon. Also on the same day, Socialism Done Left uploaded a template for the meme to Twitter^[11] and Google Drive.^[12]

Following the video, the video format gained viral popularity online, with multiple viral versions posted in February and March 2021.

Opinion on Memes

Until April 2021, the person writing as Khalimov did not speak about the likeness being used in GigaChad and Average Enjoyer memes, also disabling comments on his Instagram posts. Additionally, even before his meme popularity Khalimov had very limited online activity, which, combined with his unwillingness to acknowledge the memes and refusal to give interviews, was interpreted by some as fitting for the GigaChad persona.

venus wormwood ... @wormwood_stars cannot get over how this man, who i assumed until yesterday was a 3D render, is actually real, refuses every single interview and business request because he "doesn't cooperate with anyone," and he does not know what a "podcast" is 10:12 PM · Apr 7, 2021 · Twitter Web App

On April 13th, 2021, Ernest Khalimov, wrote from his Instagram^[13] account berlin.1969 and spoke about the GigaChad memes, writing that "he likes them" and inviting everyone to comment on the post (post shown below, left). On April 23rd, Khalimov made another Instagram^[14] post, writing that he enjoyed the comments and that they painted him as a much more interesting person than he was (post shown below, right).

berlin.1969 • Follow berlin.1969 Hello. I have read all the comments and messages. Think so. Must admit I'm shocked that there are so many of you and that you are not negative. Sorry for not answering. I'm not very sociable (T.rex), but it was pleased to read. In any case I have nothing to say to you, probably because I look much more interesting from your words. It's very flattering and overshadows my commonness. Thanks for your kind words. Thank you for the positive energy, don't doubt guys I mentally return it to you. Take your time and keep calm. Take care of yourself and your loved ones. Yours faithfully, Average person. SLEEK'N'TEARS Liked by and 119,724 others 2 DAYS AGO Add a comment... Post
