      Who says satire/shitpostery can’t cut close to the bone? The best ones are the ones that make us evaluate ourselves under a critical lens.

        I don’t dispute the point for satire, but shitposts never struck me as being concerned with reality… Maybe I just misunderstand the genre.

          Yeah, I’m with you. My understanding of the term “shitpost” is that it’s, by definition, low-effort and/or low-quality.
