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 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.

The revelation through r9k's [[Tinder]] [[dating]] experiments was that a very, very small % of men were getting literally all the attention and [[date]]s 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 an online [[Catfishing|catfish]] dating experiment [[Chadfishing|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. | The revelation through r9k's [[Tinder]] [[dating]] experiments was that a very, very small % of men were getting literally all the attention and [[date]]s accross all [[dating]] sites.
