Real CHADS

"Real CHADS" is the 47th video in the MillenniaThinker series, following "Incel Logic".

## Plot

Doomer arrives at a gym and begins bench-pressing, while a group of Chads nearby mock him for his thin figure. A different Chad arrives to help Doomer as a spotter to help replace the bar. Chad and Doomer start talking about the gym lifestyle and how Doomer needs to work to get where he wants to be, with Chad saying "nothing falls from the sky". Doomer counters, noting Chad's near-perfect feautures. Chad asks Doomer if he thinks all in life will be perfect if your looks are good, and Doomer states how Chad sleeps with a lot of women, has a nice job, and drives a sports car. Chad counters, telling Doomer to look at the nearby group of Chads. He tells Doomer to note how they spend every moment of their current lives trying to look good to get women to sleep with them, but that "apart from their appearance, they have nothing- no talent, knowledge, drive for work". Chad implies that they are fake Chads, saying, "a real Chad ... uplifts others because he knows that nothing threatens his position". Doomer asks Chad if he thinks he is a real Chad. Chad says, "I don't know, lets find out", and goes up to a Chad from the group and hits his face. Doomer dully says, "You just commited an offence", Chad cheerfully replies that Doomer worries "too much about trivial things". Chad and Doomer are then shown enjoying time together as good friends, eating together and riding a rollercoaster.

2 years pass, and a now-muscular Doomer visits Chad. He knocks on Chads door, and a drastically changed Chad answers. Chad repeatedly denies knowing Doomer despite attempts from Doomer to get him to talk, as Doomer states that they worked out together for 2 years before Chad disappeared. Doomer asks what happened to Chad. Chad says, "life got me", and states that he's given up. Doomer breaks the door chain, and says that he won't let Chad go, thanking him for helping him realize what is important in life, and that he no longer invests effort in chasing women, but investing in himself by being there for Chad.

Doomer says he has found his meaning in life and that he is there because he needs Chad. Chad asks, "Why?", and Doomer looks at the viewer, replying, "We are gathering a team."

The ending quote reads, "When, after watching the unattainable life from the TV, they try to sell you a patent on how to get one."

## Analysis

Attention is drawn from the start to the group of "Chads" having a laugh at Doomer. As Doomer struggles to work out, a different Chad appears and helps him. The turn the conversation takes indicates self-awareness from this Chads part of what people like Doomer think of him. Chad comes off as mature and wise, educating Doomer about what traits of a person are actually worth something in lfe. Things like appearance and wealth can fade with time, but having a good heart and being a headstrong individual are things that will aid one for a lifetime.
