'''R9K''' is a board on [[4chan]] where, theoretically, users can only post original content due to a software bot that rejects unoriginal content.  It turns out when you ask a bunch of lonely weeaboos to create original content it comes out in the form of complaining about not having a girlfriend.  This complaining grew so frequent that the board morphed into a board where online dating experiments were done to try to figure out why so many men were being rejected.  The revelation through r9k's Tinder dating experiments was that a very, very small % of men were getting literally all the attention and dates accross all dating sites.  Users hypothesized this type of man would look like your stereotypical college jock, and they were right.  The word '[[Chad]]' came from a online dating experiment catfishing with an image of a stereotypical sports jock.  Using this image, r9k users found themselves able to be racist, childish, and rude with women and it in no way hampered the conversationThese online dating experiment threads were quite popular.

==Online Dating Experiments==
The revelation through r9k's Tinder dating experiments was that a very, very small % of men were getting literally all the attention and dates accross all dating sites.  Users hypothesized this type of man would look like your stereotypical college jock, and they were right.  The word '[[Chad]]' came from a online dating experiment catfishing with an image of a stereotypical sports jock.  Using this image, r9k users found themselves able to be racist, childish, and rude with women and it in no way hampered the conversation.  These online dating experiment threads were quite popular.
==Eggman==
This was around the same time [[eggman]]'s pics were being spammed on r9k by an aquiantence jokingly as an example of a butt ugly guy.  This forced [[eggman]] into a meme, and [[eggman|eggy] himself began posting on the boards.

r9k users eventually migrated to the incel subreddits that [[Marjan Siklic]] helped shape and mold, like /r/truecels and /r/incels.  When those subreddits were banned, the users then migrated to [[incels.me]] making [[incels.me]] a third iteration of r9k
==Spread==
r9k users eventually migrated to the incel subreddits that [[Marjan Siklic]] helped shape and mold, like /r/truecels and /r/incels.  When those subreddits were banned, the users then migrated to [[incels.me]] making [[incels.me]] a third iteration of r9k.  r9k users often talked about [[love-shy.com]] but did not fully invade [[love-shy.com]].


==Demographics==
Almost all r9k users are male.  There was a time when black women started posting in r9k talking about how they were not valued in the dating scene and wanted to be recognized as not wanted as well.  They were poorly received by the rest of r9k.
