Screenpost
A form of goalpost manipulation where the ultimate objective is to obtain screenshots of a user that can be used against them. The screenpost is the moving standard of behavior that, once met, triggers screenshot capture and weaponization. First, the target must say something mildly controversial. Screenshot. Then they must defend it. Screenshot. Then they must apologize. Screenshot. Each response is documented, each adjustment recorded, building a dossier that can be used to portray the target in the worst possible light. The post moves until enough material is gathered—enough to get them banned, fired, humiliated, or destroyed.
Example: "They wanted to destroy his reputation, so they set up a screenpost. First, they asked his opinion on a controversial topic. He answered honestly. Screenshot. Then they argued with him until he got frustrated. Screenshot. Then they mocked his frustration until he snapped. Screenshot. When they had enough, they published the thread—'Look how unhinged this person is'—omitting their own provocations. The post had moved; the trap had closed."
