Found this whilst scouring Reddit.

Also, can someone advise: is this the right community for this, or would it be better off in the politics/meme (though it’s not really a meme, even if it should be) kind of post?

    It reminds me of that picture from Napoleon Dynamite. I spent like an hour shading your upper lip.

    Every time I remember that he was killed by the hateful environment he helped create, I smile.

    A shitpost is an art style. If you had posted the image without your drawing on top of it, it would have fit perfect, but because you added your own opinion to it, you ruined it. Making fun of people’s skills isnt cool.

        He’s right tho. Pro-level shit posting requires that you don’t mark up the original, and leave a reasonable doubt that you are the OP

          Rule of thumb

          Edit: plus, if I didn’t make it clear my opinion, you can guarantee someone (probably most people) would misconstrue it as me advocating it, which isn’t the case. I don’t agree with the Reddit post, so I have no choice but to smudge my opinion over it. You and him are literally the only two people who have ‘complained’ about it, everyone else gets it (so far). Dont believe me, read through the comments section in full. Seriously, read through it - you two are the only two so far who just don’t ’get’ it (I.e. the modifications) or at least are the only two who have voiced issue with it. I’m obviously going to go with the majority, not the minority

            Ya thats the point of shitposting and trolling, you want them to accuse you of thinking like that, thats the engagement bait. Thats what makes it a shit post. Like the classic “mental retardation or bait” You just post the dumbest thing you can find and then play along with the comments for engagement. It’s supposed to confuse and frusterate the viewer. Im not complaining im just helping your shit posting grow and mature, you can do what you want its a free fediverse

    Engagement and rage baiting … everyone knows it’s stupid, the creator knows its stupid, everyone who reads it knows it stupid … so it causes everyone to get upset, confused, angry and interested in it … even the fact you reposted it to share with us is a form of engagement and rage baiting.

    It’s all just mindless stupidity to keep us all angry and upset at thing we are already angry and upset about.

      Isn’t that called shitposting?

      I am for real with my question. I always thought that is the definition of that term.

        Shit posting is mostly just posting low quality memes i think. So the guy who posted was serious and OP of this conversation is shitposting. He took a stupid ass post that makes no sense out of context and jabaited us into commenting
