Orthobro 

An Eastern Orthodox Christian male within the Millenial or Generation Z age cohorts. Usually a convert from Protestant or a disillusioned Roman Catholic background. Often seen sporting a beard while maintaining a muscular physique. Shitposts against perceived heretical forms of Christianity, drawing on quotes from theological treatises, and usually has an overabundance of Orthodox iconography on his social media. Tends to be rigidly conservative, often to the point of supporting a return to monarchical forms of government. Although often involved in incessant online arguments with fellow Orthobros over theology and the limited dating pool of Eastern Orthodox Christians females, a deep camaraderie exists between them.
The Orthobros bestowed the title of 'king' on one another as they gleefully left scathing remarks on Dr. Taylor Marshall's YouTube channel, condemning his visions of the Papist church's milkers as prelest.
