K E Y B O A R D     W A R R I O R

  

A Person who, being unable to express his anger through physical violence (owning to their 

physical weakness, lack of bravery and/or conviction in real life), instead manifests said emotions 

through the text-based medium of the internet, usually in the form of aggressive writing that the 

keyboard warrior would not (for reasons previously mentioned) be able to give form to in real life.

The Keyboard Warrior seeks to use the power imbued in his 'weapon' to effect death and 

destruction (in a strictly-metaphorical sense) upon his foes. In essence, the keyboard allows 

the keyboard warrior to manifest his anger and frustration in a safe and removed environment, 

from which no real-life repercussions.

Keyboard Warriors are generally identified by unneccessary rage in their written communications, 

and are regarded as 'losers' by other virtual identities on the internet.
