"Everything I don't agree with is slop"
Pseudoscience about capitalism going to magically fix climate change by doing nothing is slop.
I prefer slop to live in its own technical box of generative AI crap instead of broadening the word to the point it's just another meaningless pejorative like sus.
I know damned well that the term slop has been used since the 90s for food and at least the late 00s for other things. The term shovelware slop comes to mind. Note I don't remember the 90s I was a month old when it ended but I did watch a lot of 90s media so yeah.
