The shit posters drive a wedge in a community and the people who don't like the "innocent" jokes leave. This makes fertile ground for ideological take over. Rinse and repeat in Fandoms, subreddits, message boards, etc.

Very enlightening meme you have added to the conversation.

Alternatively, the people who are so brittle that shit-posting causes them to somehow turn on half of the community were always going to volatile puritans.

What? Maybe some people join communities for fun and togetherness. Not amateur hour jew jokes or whatever.

I agree. But the discussion was shit-posting, not racist jokes, or am I missing something?

A careful read of the meme shows were talking about edgy, borderline right wing shit postings.
