Are there any texts or something akin about 'shitposting' as a form of writing or creating? I'm very interested on it as a form of expression, but I can't seem to find anything about the topic.

I've only found faggots like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmzyGNXxwdo talking about the topic. The resourses he cites are as shitty as his video. I think it diminishes the expression one can achieve. Help me find some good stuff /lit/

while not reading your links and being half-drunk i have to ask: are there useful historical analogues to shitposting? Im thinking that with the advent of the Internet offering the ability to communicate shitposts economically, whereas printing books/newspapers had to have some degree of seriousness because of the cost involved.

Almost thinking shitposts are the written equivalent of shittalking with your bros or at a bar. What’s the history of that? Why do people do it? Is this all just medium is the message shit?

I'd guess it depends on what you mean by 'shitposting'. As >>18977580 states, if one sees Nietzsche as a shitposter then shitposting would be something more than mere 'shittalking with your bros or at a bar'.

Call of the Crocodile (and all of F. Gardner's books really) are like one big 4chan shitpost. If there is one author that has captured the spirit of 4chan is him, and that must be why he is so popular here, so start with him.

I think the point is more about literature that talks about shitposting, not so much about literature that is a big shitpost. I don't know if the same applies to >>18977841 as I have not read it.

Does this count as shitposting?

When I became captain of the town, I decided to extend asylum to certain citizens who were persona non grata elsewhere in the area because of their disgusting and disquieting deformities.

One was known as Spare Ass Annie. She had an auxiliary asshole in the middle of her forehead, like a baneful bronze eye.

Another was a scorpion from the neck down. He had retained the human attribute of voice and was given to revolting paroxysms of self-pity and self-disgust during which he would threaten to kill himself by a sting in the back of the neck. He never threatened anyone else, though his sting would have caused instant death.

Another, and by far the most detrimental, was like a giant centipede, but terminated in human legs and lower abdomen. Sometimes he walked half-erect, his centipede body swaying ahead of him. At other times he crawled, dragging his human portion as an awkward burden. At first sight he looked like a giant, crippled centipede. He was known as the Centipeter, because he was continually making sexual advances to anyone he could corner, and anyone who passed out was subject to wake up with Centipete in his bed.

One degenerate hermaphrodite known as Fish Cunt Sara claimed he was the best lay in town: Besides, he’s a perfect gentleman in every sense of the word. He’s kind and good, which means nothing to the likes of you...

These creatures had developed in a region where the priests carried out strange rites. They built boxes from the moist, fresh bones of healthy youths, captives from neighboring tribes.

Pregnant women were placed in the boxes and left on the peak for a period of three hours. Often the women died, but those who survived usually produced monsters. The priests considered these monstrosities a way of humiliating the human race before the gods, in the hope of diverting their anger.

These horrible freaks were highly prized, and they lived in the temple. The women who gave birth to the most monsters received gold stars, which they were authorized to wear on ceremonial occasions.
