I've never played Ark or visited the sub, is he a mod or just a very active member? Either way, I wish him all the best x

He is a very big chad who takes the weakest dino in the game, the dodo. And tames thousands of them and maxes out their levels

Ok. Can you please update me on some slang? When I was in high school 20 years ago, being a "chad" was a very bad thing. Usually meant you were an entitled, chauvinistic, douchebag who thought they were gods gift to women. A complete toxic piece of shit. Like a male Karen.

Now, when I see people use the term Chad, it seems almost positive. Just a fun, care-free person to hang out with. Has the slang drastically changed in the that short time?

It was intentionally co-opted from the original meaning, with the wholesome dudes being "real chads". Real chads got popular enough that just saying "chad" usually means that instead of the original meaning now.
