Chadding is when somebody talks about a category of people in order to imply that they are a member of this category without explicitly saying so. They often do this by defending this category against some sort of attack, imagined or otherwise. For example, somebody will react angrily to some low profile Twitter comment and leap to the defence of the criticised group purely so people will associate them with it. Derived from the incel community's word for an in-group male, "chad".
Guy 1: You know, with all these new rules it's just impossible to be a man these days! Guys are just not able to be masculine anymore.
Guy 2: Dude, are you chadding right now? Cause no-one thinks you're even remotely masculine.
