The Mysterious Meme Man Explained FEATURED EPISODE Play Meme Status Confirmed Type: Character Year 2017 Origin 4chan Tags ernest khalimov, sleek'n'tears, lookism, forgottenshark, goldfuzzy, giga chad, sleekntears, can you feel my heart, bring me the horizon Additional References Instagram Urban Dictionary 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. Powered By 10 Sec March 2024's Meme Of The Month Revealed Next Stay 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, a post about Khalimov was submitted to the Lookism Forums,[5] referring to him as "Ultra Chad." On October 24th, 2017, Ia picture was submitted to Imgur "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). On May 7th, a thread lamenting the existence of Khalimov was submitted to the /int/ (international) board on 4chan (shown below). 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 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] Play 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. On April 13rd, 2021, Ernest Khalimov, writing from his Instagram[13] account berlin.1969, 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 that he was (post shown below, right).
