Shitlord

A person who basks in the bitterness and misery of others.

Amongst other things, an expression used by feminists to mock anyone who doesn't agree with their opinions.

1. A derogatory word used by fat activists on Tumblr to insult people who disagreed with them. Slang for gay person. The words has since been reassigned to mean someone who cares about health, and doesn't believe in fat activism or 'health at every size', and probably who frequents reddit.com/r/fatlogic. Shitlords have taken ownership of the word.

A lord of shitposting. An internet troll who identifies as a person who posts allegedly nonsensical, meaningless, random, time-wasting and sometimes sexually explicit words, pictures and gifs/videos (i.e., "shitposts") on social media.

Often these posts are not "nonsensical," "meaningless" or "random," but rather are abusive, racist, misogynist, anti-LGBTQA and bigoted in other ways. The shitlord hides behind a mask of gleeful anarchy and random neutrality, when in fact he (and a shitlord, as the name implies, is usually -- though not always -- a "he") engages in the usual hate-spewing, bigotry, harassment and abuse of other kinds of trolls.

A lot of shitposts focus on the dodgier aspects of video-games and anime. There's a large overlap between self-described shitlords and Gamergaters.

The shitlord identity is a defensive posture, adopted after someone has accused the troll of being a troll. The troll's response is, "I'm not a troll! I'm just a shitlord -- the lord of random, anarchic, offensive, gonzo and therefore mildly amusing posts! It's all harmless. Just a bit of fun."

Since they're looking for attention via "getting a rise" out of their mark, when encountering a shitlord, it's best to use the time-honored method of dealing with trolls: DNFTT.

A derogatory term originally used by feminists and Social Justice Warriors, now taken over by the ones they accused of being one. Used by people who actually care about their health and take care of their bodies and know fat people won't magically become healthy by insisting that they are, which is what Health At Every Size (HAES), another fat acceptance movement, does. Commonly known to make fun of fat acceptance and feminists.

A well rounded insult for general usage, applied in much the same manner as gaylord. May be applicable in a whole variety of situations, as an admonishment, slur or even a greeting.

A term used to define ignorant players with negative intentions for their team, often referred to as trolls.
