Keyboard Warrior

1. 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.
2. The term is a combination of the word 'keyboard' (the main tool by which the person expresses his/her latent rage) and 'warrior' (due to the warrior-like aggression, tendency towards violence, headstrong nature and propensity towards brute force as a means of resolving conflict rather than more subtle means dependant on finesse).
3. 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 (other virtual identities he has encountered on the internet). In essence, the keyboard (ie. text input ability) allows the keyboard warrior to manifest his true warrior nature in a safe and removed environment, from which no real-life repercussions .
4. Keyboard Warriors are generally identified by unneccessary rage in their written communications, and are regarded as 'losers' by other virtual identities on the internet.
Ken is such a keyboard warrior when he gets onto the internet.

Play him off, Keyboard Cat

Play him off, Keyboard Cat is an internet meme that broke in early 2009. The meme features a video of a cat playing a keyboard added as a punchline to a fail video. The original video of Keyboard Cat was shot in the 1980s and uploaded to YouTube by the cat's owner Charlie Schmidt in 2007. Another YouTuber, Brad O'Farrell, uploaded the first Play him off, Keyboard Cat video in February 2009, combining a clip of a man in a weelchair falling down an escalator with the Keyboard Cat clip. The meme started to spread soon after as other users began creating more Play him (or her) off, Keyboard Cat clips, and msm coverage followed. Keyboard Cat (real name Fatso) died in 2000.
Example of a Play him off, Keyboard Cat video:
Bill O'Reilly: We'll do it live! Fuck it! I'll write it and we'll do it live! Fucking thing sucks!
Keyboard Cat: Doo doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo.
