Rydarwins

Rydarwins is a term that has emerged in online communities, particularly within discussions related to evolutionary biology and online culture. It is not a recognized scientific term but rather a portmanteau combining "Rydar," a likely reference to the popular YouTuber and commentator known for his online persona, and "Darwin," referencing Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution. The term is often used colloquially to describe individuals who exhibit behaviors or hold beliefs that are perceived, within a certain online subculture, as being particularly adaptive or advantageous in a social or digital environment, drawing a parallel to natural selection.

The usage of Rydarwins can vary. In some contexts, it might be used humorously or ironically to describe someone's successful navigation of online social dynamics or their ability to gain influence or followers. In other instances, it can be employed more critically to suggest that certain actions, perceived as self-serving or manipulative, are being justified through a warped interpretation of evolutionary principles. The term's meaning is fluid and highly dependent on the specific online community and the context of its use. It reflects a trend of blending scientific concepts with internet slang to comment on social phenomena.
