@nyx @RustyCrab To add to this; shitposting isn't counter-cultural when it's mainstream shit like what dril posts, doesn't offend any sacred cows, and doesn't offend the viewer in some way, without having a joke that some people get as well. At that point it's a different kind of shitposting: literally taking a shit on your keyboard.

If it is, it'd get canceled from the TV like MDE: World Peace was. Or it'd be that underground video series passed around by people in this sphere, only hosted on Odysee or some shit. Or it'd be censored like South Park was several times, and cause at least one cast member to quit the show.

It's why saying forbidden words is more in the spirit of shitposting than say, some kid on Twitter slapping "shitposter" in his bio. While others have pioneered the arts of it.

Shitposting for a certain viewpoint is not so counter cultural when some of the richest people in the world are funding it, and have made any criticism of it illegal.
