The board doesn't prefer using the term 'incel' instead preferring the [[hikikomori]] term '[[robot (r9k)|robot]]'. The board is schizophrenic with regards to it's attitude towards incels. R9k has entirely defined what the media calls, 'incel culture', however the board is extremely populated with various [[noncel]] [[troll]]s, [[astroturfing|astroturfers]], [[noncel]] misogynists, and [[/pol/]]acks that quite a lot of [[anti-incel]] posting occurs there, but with more of a dismissive air than a [[feminist]] spirit. Nonetheless, perhaps due to the media and [[Wikipedia]] admins like [[GorillaWarfare]] constantly insisting that [[4chan]] culture is all that the incel label is, there has been a moderate influx of genuine self-identified incel posters. [[r9k]] is most accurately viewed as [[4chan]] subculture's enormous influence on incel forums, rather than an incel forum in itself. | The board doesn't prefer using the term 'incel' instead preferring the [[hikikomori]] term '[[robot (r9k)|robot]]'.

R9k used to be ground-zero for incel discussions because all the internet's ragefuel downpoured into this undefined board where aimless venting is allowed.- however as time passed many hostile entities have taken over the the board and its culture, turning it into a more offensive /b/ esque experience. | R9k used to be ground-zero for incel discussions because all the internet's ragefuel downpoured into this undefined board where aimless venting is allowed.- however as time passed many hostile entities have taken over the the board and its culture, turning it into a more offensive /b/ esque experience. | ||
R9K is truly a unique browsing experience, mostly because every bit of content on the site is meant to irritate,enrage and upset unwary users. the overall 'mentality' of the board is taken directly from /b/'s rage culture where shitposting and swearing is part & parcel of the general browsing experience. anyone who tries to re-direct the board culture in a different direction is met with heavy resistance. | R9K is truly a unique browsing experience, mostly because every bit of content on the site is meant to irritate,enrage and upset unwary users. the overall 'mentality' of the board is taken directly from /b/'s rage culture where shitposting and swearing is part & parcel of the general browsing experience. anyone who tries to re-direct the board culture in a different direction is met with heavy resistance. |
