Shitpost trends get old fast and the joke isn't funny anymore as people try to hop on the band wagon for easy upvotes - eviltoast

The most recent being the jeans trend. It was funny, I get why everyone enjoys a good shitpost. Some of the shitpost are top quality and fun for all to enjoy. But after a couple of days the shitposts just turn to shit posts and its just upvote farming low quality content and kills the joke.

    Generally, this. I feel like its my fault if a joke on the Internet is getting too old.

    I’m pretty proud of the fact that I self-moderated my internet use so well, I never learned the words to “Let it Go” until someone decided it was good to start playing it as holiday music at my workplace a while back.

    And i that case, I got paid to get frostrolled, or whatever it was called

    (Still though, there’s limits to this kind of thinking. its a useful coping mechanism for dumb shit, but a therapist did point out that its actually pretty unhealthy with genuinely abusive situations. So be cognizant of blame assignment!)

      Ain’t nothing wrong with let it go. It’s a good song. Just played to death is all.

        Yeah, it is a good song, and I get why people love the movie, but its not one of my personal most favorite things ever.

        Which is why its good I didn’t have it ruined by the meme- I can still go watch the movie and enjoy it with people who really are that into it and have a good time.

        I love a good fanwatch with super nerds, (recently watched Revolutionary Girl Utena with my sibling who is a huge fan, and am trying to get through a reading of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms because of a friend who is a big fan, but that’s gonna take some time) and I feel bad for Frozen fans, because one of their favorite things has a bit of a stigma attached. I really like My Little Pony and considering the reputation of G4, I get it.
