'''R9K''' is a [[pseudo-incelospherian]], [[hikikomori]], and [[astroturfing]] 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 [[Tfw no gf|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 sharing similar experiences of not being able to get a single date online for years. Users of r9k are called [[robot]]s. | '''R9K''' is a [[pseudo-incelospherian]], [[hikikomori]], and [[astroturfing]] board on [[4chan]] where, theoretically, users can only post original content due to a software bot that rejects unoriginal content.

Despite some genuine [[incel]] discussion, r9k has also served as a place for people to pretend to be incel to trolls incels, and the board contains a lot of [[anti-incel]] bad actors, [[astroturfing|astroturfers]], [[trolls]], and [[volcel|volcel]] misogynists. As it was never a self-identfied incel board there was never any mechanism in place to keep the aforementioned types out. | Despite some genuine [[incel]] discussion, r9k has also served as a place for people to pretend to be incel to trolls incels, and the board contains a lot of [[anti-incel]] bad actors, [[Incelphobia|incelphobes]], [[astroturfing|astroturfers]], [[trolls]], and [[volcel|volcel]] misogynists.

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]]'.
