    Fucking everything is political. If you think something is too political its because your not political enough.

    Your weekend is political, the 8 hour work day is political, the fucking air you breath and the pollution it is fucking political. EVERYTHING IS FUCKING POLITICAL!

        Yes. First thing to mind are the copyright implications of remixing someone else’s character, and the copyright the meme creator gets to the work regardless. Is it explicitly legal to do or is it just that most creates don’t care much, what about if you try to earn profit by publishing a book of meme?

        Then there are the platforms the meme it is hosted on, is it home hosted, is it hosted on a mega tech site, both of which come with a host of differing legal responsibilities and implications.

        Absurdist humor has a long history of being political. Shitposting is how disenfranchised young generations process and cope with societal alienation.

        The underlying Chad Farquaad is funny because it is a commentary on beauty standards. And regular Farquaad is funny because of Shrek’s satirical and political nature (ESPECIALLY Farquaad and his kingdom which both overtly represent Disney Corporation and capitalism).
        These underlying, inherently politically-laden factors, are core to the shitpost’s comedic value.
