Chadshi

Chadshi is a term that emerged from online communities, particularly on platforms like Twitch and Reddit, to describe a specific archetype of online personality. It is generally used in a pejorative or critical manner to refer to individuals who exhibit a perceived sense of entitlement, often combined with a boastful or arrogant demeanor.

The "chadshi" persona is often associated with online gamers, streamers, or content creators who are seen as acting superior to others, demanding special treatment, or displaying a lack of self-awareness regarding their own behavior. The term itself is a portmanteau, blending the internet slang term "chad," which typically refers to an attractive, confident, and often idealized male, with a suffix that implies a negative or diminutive quality, though the exact origin of the suffix is debated.

While not a formally recognized psychological term, "chadshi" serves as a shorthand within certain online subcultures to critique and dismiss individuals perceived as exhibiting negative social traits. The use of the term is almost exclusively informal and exists within the context of internet slang.
