I always see the chad meme as making fun of toxic culture, rather than being a part of it

Parody communities have a habit of being taken over by people that aren't being ironic and honestly believe the exaggerated views. Poe's law in action. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law

/r/GamersRiseUp went that way: https://old.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/fefycf/whats_...

The opposite happens too - terms used seriously by one community are adopted by others to parody them. Eg, “woke” started as a term used seriously by the left, and was later adopted by the right as a way to make fun of the left.

"Yankee" and "Macaroni" for an older example. This stuff has been going on for centuries. (Stuck a feather in his cap and called it Macaroni)"
