I am genuinely naive when it comes to internet culture/drama, but I find rabbit holes to go down and Gigachad was one. I really don’t know what youtuber or minecrafter is grooming what tiktoker and who shit on who’s pet cat so it is going viral. I don’t vomit on twitter, or care about youtube drama. However, the giga was one of note.

The GigaChad Arc is Already Happening.

Gather round’ wanderers, I have a tale to tell. Hey, you! Outside in the cold, get in here. Yes, yes, there is plenty of kino for everyone. Of how the Gigachad, became the GigaKing. Let me lay some context, before I get to his training arc and actualization.

So, obviously there is photoshop (talking about the original) but the dude is indeed shredded, and he has cartoon level jawline. A lot of people are overestimating, or perhaps over emphasizing the role of the photoshop in relations to the Giga, it is there, but mainly sharpening and contrasting to make it stand out.

It is pretty easy to do. Black and white is great for highlighting curves also. Don’t get me wrong though THERE IS COSMETIC EDITING, obviously, but if that is the style his gf wants to do of her babe looking like a hunka-dunk, it is what it is. I’ve seen worse shoops in my day. I’ve been doing photography since back when I wore red/orange cargo shorts (good for hiding in fires) and played middle school basketball (GO FALCONS!!)

More importantly, the editing is irrelevant. How does the man handle the spotlight? Well, the internet is not known for its kindness, best we try.

These photos are highly stylized, but the dude is genuinely ripped and honestly he looks like handsome squidward. My guess is in addition to what I just said this dude dehydrates himself before the photoshoots, and probably some plastic surgery.

(Sidenote, I never understood the hate of plastic surgery. I am big on one’s own autonomy, and not judging others by their appearances to the best of my ability. If you got a bimbo fetish or something, I’m not going to knock you. I judge people harshly for many reasons, but if you want to be a JoJo character, be my guest king/queen).

So Gigachad in general DOES look like that with a lot of touching up, and probably other stuff. Prep is king in photos. Also his girlfriend is his photographer, and that is just straight up cute as Hell. They are both ripped. Yes, everything is very edited, but you can find much less stylistic photos of them being cute together. Even if he did use the warp feature to asurdity, why is this your focus? Look to the flame of a man’s soul, not the coals he rests on, to decide if he is worth knowing or not.

**Yet, I don’t care if a man is jacked? Yeah, you are swole of the biceps but where is the swole of thy’s soul? I judge my boys on the caliber of their passion and heart.**So Gigachad once he realized the internet was kinda sorta clowning on him he changed his Insta to read “I don’t like memes.”

Now this is a fair response. The dude doesn’t speak english that well, and in all honesty he looks confused in every picture he is in. He didn’t ask for a bunch of bozos to flood his insta comments spamming “GIGACHAD” OR “I HATE WOMEN TOO!!” so yeah, he doesn’t like memes, I can see why.

Yet, I am pretty sure this is his first interaction with a meme and it was him. So he went dead silent. No posting gym pics. No posting pics of him dancing. He vanished.That is when Gigachad did what Eren could not. What Naruto could never do. What Ichigo couldn’t even conceptualize because all his character development is finding out he is a new species.

He returned. Did he come to spew spite? To scream out at the vitrol of the internet neckbeards as many people have only to be crushed? To flex only to fail?No, he grew. Not in muscle, but in heart. In an Instagram post which reads like a mentally slow 8 year old child that just saw a Terminator movie and is trying to imitate Arnold he affirmed us all. He climbed mountains and meditated in whatever (Eastern European???) place he lives in. He wrestled bears, and sang the songs of ancestors long past. He injected whey protein directly into his faces. He said:

“I have read all the comments and messages. Think so. Must admit I’m shocked there are so many of you, and that are not negative.

Sorry for not answering. I’m not very sociable, T.Rex. But it was pleased to read. In any case I look much interesting from your words.

***I’m very flattered and overshadows my commonness. Thank you for kind words. Thank you for positive energy, don’t doubt guys I mentally return to you. Take your time and keep calm. Take care of yourself and your loved ones.”- The Gigachad, roughly.***Posted under a picture of him humbly holding his beefed up arms behind his back.Instead of “I don’t like memes,” it is now “heard about the memes you guys make 👍”

You love to see it.

His next post was about failure, and how it is ok to fail. Then he weirdly asked “I will not ressurect after a car accident, what is a real person?” That is based as fuck. What IS a real person? You DON’T ressurect after a fatal car crash. He is spitting straight up facts. Cars kill people, but WHAT ARE PEOPLE??? Dude is just tearing apart the fabric of physics right now.

And now he has fully embraced being the gigachad. Not to milk it for money and fame (he actually is quite shy), but to use it to give motivation speeches and cheer people up. He got clowned on for looking like Roblox character for months despite doing NOTHING wrong but be a sweetheart, and he came back with the zen of a monk and the fire of Apollo reigning down from crimson tether’s of the sun itself.

He isn’t a meme. In his own word, he “see’s your memes.” To stand with you instead of being above you.

That is what it means to be a Gigachad. To hold that creed in the face of hundreds of thousands of people spamming you with the dumbest shit? That is what it means to be a Gigaking.
