i hate corporate shitposting so much. not only because it’s a cynical attempt to sell a product to an audience it thinks is too dumb to realize they’re being played, but also because it’s not really shitposting. there’s a stylistic conflict. corporate shitposting cares too much. i’ve always felt like real shitposting has a sort of nihilistic “fuck it all” undercurrent to it, like “i’m gonna make a waluigi vaporwave edit because why the fuck SHOULDN’T there be such a thing”. not to mention the (at least partial) ironic appreciation-nearing-deification of such figures as waluigi or shrek or what have you, which could have its own analysis post in and of itself because it’s so interesting why shitpost culture chooses the subjects it does. corporate shitposting is too carefully crafted for that “fuck it all” attitude, and thus betrays the core of what shitposting was meant to be. it’s impure. it doesn’t understand the heart and soul of shitposting, so it can never be anything better than a hollow interpretation of what advertising execs think shitposting is. so we get some out-of-touch dumbasses who decide shitposting is just weird for the sake of weird, and they commission some bullshit like a badly animated gif of a llama growing a fake onion ring in a lab, because isn’t that what the kids are into these days?

my point is, fuck the funyuns blog.
