'''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 complaining about not having a girlfriend. Users of [[r9k]] are called [[robot]]s.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, [[astroturfing|astroturfers]], [[trolls]], and [[volcel|volcel]] misogynists.
