Is Godfrey Elfwick the greatest Sh*tposter on the Internet?
FTFA:In a time when satire and Shitposting are on the rise, one satirical Shitposter stands tall from the herd: Godfrey Elfwick. The “Godfrey Elfwick” (Not his real name) Twitter account surfaced online a few years ago, and has since rose high to become one of the Internet’s most prolific and iconic satirists. Godfrey satirizes Social Justice warriors and Feminist so well that most genuine Feminists end up agreeing with the things he says before realizing that he was mocking them. Like that time he starting a debate on Twitter by launching the “Wrong Skin” movement. In the mid of 2015, Rachel Dolezal, the president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People chapter in Spokane, Washington, was exposed as having been born white. Rachel had pretended to be black her whole life to advance her career in civil right groups. Amid criticism of Rachel appropriating black culture/skin, Godfrey came out to show support. He claimed that he too, like Rachel, was “Wrong Skin”: The hashtag #wrongskin trended on Twitter for a whole day, with thousands of people debating whether a person could change his race or not; few of them realizing that Godfrey was trolling.
