A new study made by the University of Buenos Aires (Argentina), shows that the practice commonly refered to "shitposting" is slowly becoming a new form of artistic expression.

Lead researcher of the proyect, Prof. Carlos Bilardo, well known for his previous work in Social and Political Science related to internet communities, gave a conference early this week about the scope of the study he and his team carried for the past five years over the most popular forums on the web.

During his speach, Prof. Bilardo explained that the slang shitposting is commonly used to describe a range of user misbehaviors and rhetoric on forums and message boards that are intended to deral a conversation off-topic, and how a growing number of individuals, protected by the anonymity provided by usernames not related to real identities has been specializing in this form of comunication.



He also stated that "People should have seen this coming", and that in fact, "URGAYPWNED".
