Gibased

Gibased is a term that emerged within online communities, particularly on social media platforms and imageboards. It is generally used to describe a particular type of opinion or sentiment that is considered to be unorthodox, contrarian, or departing from mainstream viewpoints. The term often carries a connotation of being deliberately provocative or intended to elicit a strong reaction.

The origin of "gibased" is not definitively documented, but it is believed to be a portmanteau of "give" and "based." The term "based" itself is a slang term that gained popularity in internet culture, often used to describe an opinion that is seen as authentic, courageous, and unconcerned with popular opinion. By adding "gi," the term "gibased" suggests an action or an inclination to express such a "based" opinion.

"Gibased" opinions can span a wide range of topics, from politics and social issues to pop culture and personal preferences. The user expressing a "gibased" view might be seen as an individualist, someone willing to challenge established norms or popular consensus, even if their opinion is unpopular or unconventional. The term is often used humorously or ironically, but it can also be used sincerely to denote a genuine belief in an unconventional idea. Its usage is largely confined to informal online discourse.
