That’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…”
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.
