No, i’m just saying that this is shitpost. Don’t tell me you don’t what shitpost is.
There is a difference between a shitpost and a meme and you got it backwards.
“Shitposting is posting large amounts of content “aggressively, ironically, and of trollishly poor quality” to an online forum or social network, in some cases intended to derail discussions or otherwise make the site unusable to its regular visitors.” - Wikipedia
Yeah Wikipedia isn’t a credible source, but when you’re dealing with internet lingo, it’s just as good of a source as any. A shitpost is something that has much less work put into it than “real” art (think of cheap & quick MS Paint images), is intentionally ironic, and it’s meant to derail a thread. Once a particular idea is repeated enough times, it becomes a meme - a meme literally just means “a repeated idea or thing”. Some shitposts actually have become memes, like that one where people take the title of something and MS-Paint the letters in a different order so it says a weird thing. This however, is more of just a straight forward and honest meme.
If you really want to get down to it, it’s also a meme to abuse the word “shitpost”, to instead make it describe a “cheap meme”. The definition of what a “cheap” meme even is, is of course arbitrary.

Yes, actually.
1: MLP is done, so there is nothing new to talk about
2: The pandemic has trapped a lot of people inside, meaning they have nothing to do
3: People want to see something a bit more lighthearted to help ease the pain a bit.
Combine all those things, and you got the perfect scenario for dumb-yet-humorous memes like this one to develop

Don’t take it personal, I like it.

fair enough
Long ponies existed before so it was entirely possible. Doesn’t change the fact that it is still freaky to see a bridge crossing so far.
you are a seer and you know it. How did you even get to edit that mindless picture back in November 2018? You could have prevented this.

Covid-19 is a direct responsible about this.

You just said my content was shit.
No, i’m just saying that this is shitpost. Don’t tell me you don’t what shitpost is.
Excuse me? Is that an insult?
Maybe you’re right, but that doesn’t change its shitpost nature.
No, tons of people talking about it does in fact make it a meme
Then this is shitpost, not a meme.
