That word gained popularity through 4chan where its used either in a ironic or acknowledging way, often in the context of shitposts of alt-right. Nowdays, which surprises me a little, it is also used in a good context.

So, imho using this word is basically the definition of dogwhistling.
Every time i watch videos or have conversations with people and this word is used i usually look like this: :blobcatglaresad:-
