Sarah Manavis added,
It’s very clear that whoever briefed this (if it isn’t just LK’s own analysis) had never seen the term shitposting before that Tory party graphic with comic sans and neon text and then just assumed they knew all there was to know about it
There are SO MANY PEOPLE that are experts on this *increasingly very important language* and the BBC just doing fat fingered explainers based on clearly zero research is insanely irresponsible and is literally spreading misinformation
