"Callout post" refers to a specific type of social media entry intended to publicly expose, criticize, or shame an individual for their perceived wrongdoings or problematic behavior. These posts often include evidence, such as screenshots or logs, to justify the public denouncement to a wider community. While they can be used for serious accountability, they are also frequently used in fandom spaces or as part of internet memes to satirize dramatic online conflicts. The register is confrontational and designed to spark discourse or deplatform the person being "called out."
