"We've been told our games are too expensive in some countries but we've been using Steam's recommended pricing for a while. We trust Valve enough to not change this. If our games are still too expensive for you, you can pirate them until you have enough to support us."

No, it's not the "opposite of cringe" and it's not an alt-right dog whistle. It just means the person or group is willing to do the right thing, above politics or greed. It's more comparable to Giga Chad, but it's more accurate to say that Giga Chad when used in memes is the representation of a based individual.
Also, "alt-right" is a dog whistle for "white supremacist", invented by a white supremacist to soften the language. Stop using it. Just call them white supremacists or fascists.
My understanding of "based" from years and years ago was that it was used as an exclamation when people essentially weren't afraid to speak their minds even if they're likely to get shit for said opinion.
That's why it's gotten associated with the alt-right because it was usually bigoted douchebags saying bigoted shit that other bigots would then respond "based" to. I feel like the terminology was associated with 4chan in its early usage and spread to reddit.
I believe your definition that is popular with Gen Z is a newer development.
Years and years?

From 2014? So yes years and years. Maybe use Google before you decide to be a douche.
And then do it anyway right?
Fuck you dickhead

Those "giga Chad" bullshits are dumb as hell too.
