MELTDOWN COMICS TWITCH SERIES

On April 26th, 2021, the subreddit /r/schizopostingmemes was created, gaining over 20,000 members before being banned after users began posting images of dead birds they had supposedly killed in a competition to prove they were the 'top schizo.' One such post was made by Redditor bemmington (awesome) on July 3rd, 2022, which gathered over 95 upvotes and 45 comments in seven hours. The word 'schizoposting' also began to be used regularly on Twitter in 2020. Įarly Instagram mentions include a February 21st, 2020, video post by user that gathered over 2,000 views in nearly three years (seen below). Early Facebook mentions include the caption of a December 2nd, 2019, image posted by a meme page about cryptids that gathered over 100 likes in three years (seen below). However, the term only gained significant virality on other social media platforms after the year 2019.

Use of the term 'schizoposting,' when defined as the act of posting illogical memes that could be made by someone suffering a mental breakdown, persisted across 4chan threads in the years following 2016, often in reference to QAnon] conspiracy theorists.

The label 'schizoposting' drew continued usage on 4chan in consecutive months, with an anonymous user posting a picture of Charles Manson to /pol/ on December 28th, 2016, alongside a caption that read, 'Fuck shitposting, try Schizoposting' (seen below). The earliest known use of the term on 4chan was in response to a post about memes as occultism in /pol/ in which an anonymous reader responded to a thread saying, 'nice schizoposting, friend' (seen below). The phrase itself has been used on 4chan since at least November 6th, 2016, when it was used as a general slang term and without its Rage Comic connotation. The exciting unveiling of the new storyline will follow at 4pm PT along with the accompanying line of products from partners including miniatures, online play aids and video games from WizKids, Gale Force 9, Penny Arcade, Fantasy Grounds and Cryptic/Perfect World.įor more information on Dungeons & Dragons, visit.
