As a professional shitposter, I find your post offensive and demeaning.

What people fail to understand is that shitposting isn't just deliberately posting low-quality material to an online message board; it's a way of life. Shitposting isn't something I DO, it's something I AM. Shitposting is what helps me get out of bed in the morning, and what puts me to bed at night. I don't know what I'd do without shitposting in my life. Through all the ups and the downs, shitposting has always been there for me.

I've been a shitposter as long as I could remember. It all started when I was 12-years-old. It all started from when began posting low-quality comments on YouTube videos for attention; humble beginnings. I was discriminated against from all directions. People called me a "shitposter," a "troll," a "spammer," and a "retarded faggot." However, the word "shitposter," in particular, resonated with me. Like an African American wears the word "nigga" as a badge of honor, I decided to proudly identify as a shitposter. Shitposting became who I was and what I stood for.

My shitposting abilities allowed me to get through my college creative writing classes with a solid C- average, and go on to make something real of my life with my unique talent. Before I knew it, a shitposting talent scout searched me out, and next thing I knew, I became a high profile columnist for the Huffington Post. I now do what I love for a living. Can you say the same for yourself? So the next time you use the harsh pejorative "shitposter" in a derogatory sense, remember the struggles, trials, and tribulations of my people, and try to walk a mile in our shoes.

I am a shitposter and I am proud.
