    When you say LOL as Alliance character in World of Warcraft, it’s seen as KEK for Horde characters. W is added the same way as saying that something is KEWL instead of COOL.

    So this person basically said LOL in a manner that’s understandable mostly for 30+ year olds ;)

      pushes up glasses ackshually, the “W” part just comes from how the Risitas (am i spelling his name right?) emote is named on twitch. but the original “kek” lore is spot on. but even the WoW stuff is a reference to korean starcraft. it goes wayyyyyy back
