I'd call what you're specifically referring to as template shitposts, things that people just nonchalantly spit out in various permutations multiple times daily, for weeks/months/years. It's spammy in that context, and in another could be seen as off-topic for derailing threads into being about other local posters rather than about the intended subjects.

It feels like there are some shows on /a/ that you literally cannot have a decent calm discussion about, because people inevitably start bringing in some other show or lumping up anyone who likes it as whatever studio fan etc. Or they just make threads looking to pick a fight and force issues where none existed before. To this day it's very hard to have a an earnest talk about VEG or Sora Yori on /a/ because of shitposting that happened half a year ago now, it sticks in collective memory.

Trying to incite cross-fanbase wars and destabilizing entire series is a kind of emotional manipulation. We've seen this time and time again where someone seems to be trying to make what were neutral or even previously-friendly fandoms turn on and spar each other, but here it should be noted that it's not a seasonal flare that'll mostly go out in a few weeks, it's now going on with long-running series that don't have defined ending points, so that tension is fated to only get worse and worse as long as it's allowed to run rampant, unless something is done. I'd be interested to see what mods would prescribe.
