The term 'Shitlord' evolved from a pejorative used in social justice circles into a badge of honor for internet trolls and denizens of imageboards like 4chan. It typically describes someone who intentionally posts offensive, inflammatory, or controversial content to elicit a reaction or mock others' sensibilities. The visual representation often features a smug, self-satisfied character who revels in their status as an agent of chaos. As a meme, it is used to dismiss criticism or to proudly claim one's role in a heated online debate, embodying the defiant spirit of internet counter-culture and the art of 'shitposting' for the sake of amusement.
