Kek is one of those words I've never wanted to look up on urban dictionary
Its origins are fairly benign and kind of interesting imo: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=kek
Ofc still unfortunate that it's been adopted by obnoxious memelord racists.
It's lol. In the game world of Warcraft it scrambles enemy faction global coms through a Caeser cipher. 4chan adopted it as an in joke.
