Over the past year or so I've seen "chud" cross over from Chapo-adjacent online leftist spaces to general internet lingo. In the process it seems like the meaning has shifted though. To me it was a catch-all term for dumb and buffoonish right-wingers and fascists in general frothingfash

It seems in non-leftist usage chud is just the school shooter wojak and basically means "weird ugly unemployed redditor with mass murder fantasies and implied autism." The chud is not worthy of scorn because of his far-right politics, but because he is cringe. The original political context of the word has been stripped and replaced by ableism

I mean, incels are not always unattractive, and unattractive people are not always incels. Assuming by unattractive we mean conventionally physically unattractive and not, like, completely off-putting personality and beliefs. "Ugly" people are often attractive to somebody, so they may not end up incels. Or somebody likes them for who they are and not how they look. Meanwhile I've seen people I'd consider attractive who have thoughts and beliefs that make me wanna never interact with them.
