It seems like many of you just consider it any non offensive meme. If it approaches the definition I've provided, you let it genuinely upset you. Based on my individual experience at least.
Shitpost is a low effort humor.
I think it's low quality more than low effort. Low effort often gets low quality, but someone could spend hours making a bad Photoshop joke and it's still shit
This is my understanding too
That's a quick easy definition.
Often posted and commented on from a toilet
A shitpost should both entertain (via shock, absurdity, low-brow humour, etc) but also do so in such a way as to be a waste of time to actually read, time that could have been better spent on just about anything else.
I'd agree
If its deliberately provocative and offensive then its ragebait.
Is that a difference you draw or can they be both?
I think of them as different.
Shitpost are for laughs. Ragebait is mean spirited.
Interesting distinction
There can definitely be overlap between the two, though.
I take the Supreme Court's line on shitposts. They're hard to define, but I know it when I see it
Gang shit
My definition of shitpost is content with a joke that isn't that good. It doesn't matter that the media took 3 minutes to makes, or a month, or that it made you laugh for a whole minute, as long as the joke is simple and "stupid" that's a shitpost.
This is a prime example of a shitpost.
The joke isn't deep. It's just that it wasted your time.
Another example is this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CToEldwJdI
Despite being high quality and making me laugh hard when I first heard it, the joke is pretty shallow, thus a shitpost
I think the spirit of shitposting is in opposition to the spirit of taxonomy. And it's super ironic to argue over the definition.
Precisely defining shitpost would annihilate it's meaning and we'd be forced to use another word.
If you pay attention, you'll notice that English is actually pretty bad at keeping slippery meanings contained inside her words.
Uh oh big man with big words coming in. Good to get your feedback though considering you're one of the people I'm talking about not seeming to understand the concept.
Its not all about feces. There has to be something else.
Piss
Right, how could we forget! Piss. Truly a remarkable archivement by almost every human alive today.
Pee pee poo poo
It should fundamentally be deliberately stupid. It could be offensive, but if so it should be offensive in a stupid way.
Interesting
Oh god I haven’t checked my posts yet…
