What’s KEK supposed to mean?

From www.urbandictionary.com:

Kek (Kuk, Keku, Keki) means darkness. He was the god of the darkness of chaos, the darkness before time began. He was the god of obscurity, hidden in the darkness. The Egyptians saw the night-time, the time without the light of the sun, as reflecting this chaotic darkness.

In latter days a cult of Kek has risen on /pol/ and other less interesting boards. "PRAISE KEK!"

Google it and read the explanation. It is bizarre but in a good way IMO.

Here’s what the top definition of “KEK” is in the Urban Dictionary:

“Kek literally translates to lol on World of Warcraft. When someone from the Horde side types lol in /say, members of the alliance side see kek instead. Not specific to Orcs.

Human Paladin: Dude, that Orc totally just pwned you.
Orc: Kek.
Human: Dude, now he’s laughing at you. Kick his ass.”

In fact 6 of the top 7 definitions refer to “KEK” as part of video gaming terminology and the next 7 definitions have nothing to do with anything sinister. My interpretation of the use of it on the the subreddit The_Donald is they are using it as “LOL”.
