𝔼𝕩𝕦𝕤𝕚𝕒That’s not a shitpost, that’s a basic meme that took effort to make and come up with, it’s only absurd for comedic effect & low-effort. It’s not trollishly low-quality, nor meet enough of the other key hallmarks to condone qualifying as a shitpost.
^Actual shitpost, AI generated image with text slapped on it. Another example is the common “all Linux users are femboys” memes/inside joke. They are intentionally poor quality, absurd, and designed to provoke reactions with minimal effort.
The “average X fan vs average Y enjoyer” meme is another good example of a shitpost. It’s intentionally provocative through its absurd comparison and exaggeration.
“aggressively, ironically, and trollishly poor quality… cause the biggest reaction with the least effort. …internet mockery… …absurd… …confusing… …awkward and irrelevant…”
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shitposting
My post that was unfairly removed was intentionally provocative (Oxford), and ironically, trollishly poor quality (Wikipedia) and exaggeration, just as the example shitposts provided are.
provocative ≠ inflammatory
Provocative : causing annoyance, anger, or another strong reaction, especially deliberately.
Inflammatory : deliberately arousing or intended to arouse angry or violent feelings.
(Oxford)
Provocative in the context of shitpost essentially means deliberately causing a strong reaction usually via exaggeration for comedic effect.
While Inflammatory just means to deliberately insight violence usually via slander or liable.
Another shitpost for example :
This meets : intentionally provocative (Oxford), and ironically, trollishly poor quality and absurd, exaggeration, etc. (Wikipedia).

Both are shitposts, bruh.
One is literally a shitpost from a prominent shitposter. (What, you really think Trump and Biden were making out during the debate?)
The other is a shitpost targeted to fuck with a particular community, in a manner that’s intentionally provocative; Mockery and Amusement, and ironically, trollishly poor quality and absurd, exaggeration, etc.

SharkEatingBreakfastMaybe this whole post is an ironic shitpost? If not, that makes it even funnier, tbh.
Why the hell do you think I used multiple examples from prominent shitposters.
