At first it was a niche reference to a niche b-horror movie that soon became a niche insult then that niche insult became applied mostly to the right and someone had the bright idea of making a wojak meme out of a racist mass shooter and it became associated with chud itself and that stopped chud being a wing meme after that, it’s similar to what happened to woke. Nowadays whenever I hear the word chud I wince a little, especially when it’s coming from a fellow leftist. Similar thing happened the stonetoss edits, leftists kept editing those comics which usually had racist/transphobic/offensive jokes to like not be offensive and that became a meme to the point that the right wing is now editing the stonetoss comics to be ironically “woke” and the left by engaging with the right wing meme sphere have inadvertently created a reactionary force against themselves. TLDR the left shot itself in the foot by making the chud meme.
I like hog because they can't turn it around. If they ironically call themselves hogs, it has the same exact negative association. Chud has a villain mystique to it if the word has any meaning at all to most people.

Chud or Chude (Old East Slavic: чудь, Finnish: tšuudi, Northern Sami: čuhti) is a term historically applied in the early East Slavic annals to several Baltic Finnic peoples in the area of what is now Estonia, Karelia[1] and Northwestern Russia.[2] It has also been used to refer to other Finno-Ugric peoples.
I think it's just a broader symptom of language and memes in the internet age hyper evolving and running it's course through popular culture ever quicker
