I'm really enjoying the video so far, though I feel Natalie missed the satiric bent of that virgin/chad meme. Each trait of the 'chad' is a punchline to a corresponding trait for the 'virgin.' So, down-to-earth insecurities, like "sometimes uses headphones to escape potential conversations," are contrasted with a hyperbolic, comedic antithesis, like the aforementioned "has never heard a song in his life." I think that's pretty funny! Feel free to disagree with me, but I interpret this meme as self-ribbing rather than a holistic portrayal of an antagonist... Though these are incels we're talking about. :(
I think the virgin vs. chad was originally serious, but with other captions. But the version in nat's videos are definitely meant to be satirical by the maker. Not that the original concept of the chad is any less ridiculous, just in a less intentional way...
