Okay nu gravede jeg simpelthen den videnskabelige artikel frem.

Der er fx dette citat:

‘Then there are ‘shitposts’, that you just post without having to think about the picture for three days and whether or not you look good in it’ (Anne, 9th-grade girl).

Så det er åbenbart noget unge mennesker siger. De hentyder også i artiklen at det mest er den feminine brug af ordet der har den betydning, mens det blandt mænd har en anden betydning:

As part of a wider project studying the well-being of contemporary early adolescents, we initially observed how the participants of the study, independently of one another and across different schools, defined and understood shitposting in a way that differed greatly from previous findings, particularly in terms of its gendered dimensions. While previous research has found shitposting to be a masculine practice, particularly within more extreme groups, the feminine version of shitposting may have been overlooked due to its hidden, mundane, and unspectacular nature. It is, however, equally important as it informs us about contemporary young femininity as a site of resistance.

Equally important is the fact that it also differs from the picture of ‘shitposting’ as a predominantly masculine and masculinist practice prevalent in existing research (Cavanaugh 2021; Daly and Nichols 2024; Daly and Reed 2022; Southern 2022).

We argue that combining these specific strands allows us to understand how the recent feminine version of shitposting has emerged within youth culture.

Så det som pressen ikke har formået at få med er at dette er en "feminin" version af shitposting der bruges mest af kvinder/piger på Instagram og Snapchat.

Det er faktisk interessant sådan som kulturen på internettet er så forskellig afhængig af hvem man er og hvilke sider man besøger. Ærgerligt at pressen også misser den interessante pointe.
