Based

You know that half of the vernacular that most people probably the result of some illiterate motherfucker saying a word wrong and people just adopting it because the either are also illiterate or are some kind of sheeple follower.
That guy is based as fuck.

You mean biased? Because the in which context the word is being used suggests that you meant "Biased"... Based is like "Based on a true story" it's derived from another thing. Just like transgenders using the word "Valid". It's just people trying to destroy a language they don't understand because they don't want anything to mean anything. Why? Because is definitions are concrete then you can't weasel your way out of situations were the words you use create consequences for the choices you make.

based

A word used when you agree with something; or when you want to recognize someone for being themselves, i.e. courageous and unique or not caring what others think. Especially common in online political slang.

The opposite of cringe, some times the opposite of biased.

The latter usage is the original use as coined by rapper Lil B, and the word originally took off on the meta-ironic website 4Chan with the latter meaning. For that reason the word is largely used meta-ironically (without context you can't tell if it's being used ironically or sincerely as it's used in both ways) and was popularized in online political slang of conservatives and the political right before being adopted into mainstream online political slang (likely through shitposting websites or subreddits such as r/politicalcompass memes that are similar to 4chan in their meta-irony and "edginess" but contain a wider variety of political beliefs) and eventually adopted into general online vernacular.

When used in online political language it can mean "based in fact" or the opposite of biased due to the number of people who saw it being first used seriously by the online political right and came to the conclusion that is was related to the phrase "destroyed with facts and logic" in reference to right wing personality Ben Shapiro.
