What value is there to shitposting?

[sidewalksurfboard]

I will never understand people who shitpost. What is so funny about being an obnoxious little prick? Same goes for spamming. All I can imagine when I see people spam is an immature brat who decided to be annoying because he didn't get his way.

The better question is, well that is a good question but man I see loads of people posting stuff in R&R that should go here and the other way around, when did that start happening so much???

That's why.

I'll offer up a more satisfactory answer to your little gripe. While there may be no real value to the art of shitposting, if there is one thing that Furries know how to do best, and that's have fun. A lot in this culture don't have a stick up their ass and don't take themselves to seriously, and for good reason. Could you imagine what this culture would be like if everyone took everything seriously? I perish the thought! *shudders*

Personally I find posting provocative messages to online forums quite entertaining.

I've never even really known what "shitposting" means, I feel like an old fart here.

I can tolerate shitposters as long as they also throw some quality content into there. But it's if you're an insufferable, self-righteous prick that I really can't stand you and if you're an insufferable shitposting prickster, I'll fuck your ass like Iron Shiek did to that no good jabroni Hulk Hogan at Madison Square Garden and make you humble.

I love the smell of a shitpost in the morning.

Because you touch yourself at night?

I'm not sure if that's shit posting or horribly attempted trolling, please educate me.

The real question is do any of these people have the balls to shitpost IRL. An internet opinion is only worth it if you actually hold it forth in every conversation. Otherwise its just humor.

I'm just legit curious. I wanna know what others think of it.

 

[Zeitzbach]

It's funny seeing the butthurt side throwing the "I'm more mature than you card".

 

[Volkodav]

Because its so much fun, jan

I see it as practice to train one's self to be more quick-witted IRL. You've got the time online to think of something stupid to say - and the anonymity that people will respond based purely on the things you say and not judge your posts because it's, well.... you.

 

[Mikazuki Marazhu]

I do nothing but shitpost in this forum.

I'm the worst person in this forum

everybody hates me

Ive simply found that people are so much more bold and witty online than they are IRL. Me, Im worse in life. Im much louder than quiet words on a computer.

Don't play with it you'll go blind. :V

 

[1000bluntz]

Because people get mad and react. I'm guessing you made this thread after what happened in that gamergate thread ? I guess I struck a nerve *sprouts demon angel wings, crossing my arms as I slowly ascend above you* nothing personal...kid.

Are you my dad??



Serious question.

 

[Yarra]

Shit, I post shit.

 

[Tiamat]

I once took a fat dump in a mailbox, does that count?

It's primarily meant to straight insult the other party. If you have no substance, shitposting follows.

 

[PlusThirtyOne]

i don't mind shitpost threads but i've little patience for posters who're outright disrespectful and derail threads and otherwise "healthy" topics. if starting a stupid new thread will get your jollies off, fine, so long as you keep it faaaaaar away from the serious conversation. There's a time and place for everything. Joking around and being stupid is fun in moderation; we're all human.

 

[Cyanomega]

No idea what shit posting is. I assume its like trolling, which I dont understand at all
