Man I hate how so many people have gotten secondhand and thirdhand knowledge and don't know jackshit about anything.
It was originally a pretty old meme on /pol/ and was made to be a visualization of an aryan ideal. It predates the proliferation of chad/virgin shit by years and had nothing to do with wojaks. To my knowledge its not based on any one individual in particular.
(Its also ironic that it became so popular given that it came from one of the edgiest and most "racist" places on the internet, but ah well, you can't stop imageboard memes from getting popular)
The left can't meme so they steal them and rewrite their histories. I've also seen Chad used in cringe images that imply certain kinds of censorship are good and that real men are completely subservient to women.
The original is the Nordic Mediterranean meme. Know Your Meme still has better history about things than wikipedia. The beardless version was common at first.
Worth pointing out that the leftist in the OP probably thinks Pepe is a racist right wing meme when it was originally a frog drawn by a leftist artist and he was so pissed off 4chan hijacked it he killed off the character permanently. It's true that most people don't know what they're talking about and that's partially because they're a bunch of brainwashed phone zombies who just tap on what's trending and think that's the depth there is to life.

The very word "based" had now been hijacked and is being used by the left to mean what they perceive to be cool.
I thought the original beardless version was pewdiepie saying no to sjws, the beard was a later addition

Was it really only from 2019 (the beardless one) ? It feels much older than that
A half-decade ago is plenty of time on the internet.

Which accomplished nothing in the real world of memes.
