The NPC meme is a meme that liberals can't think for themselves and that their words and feelings are "pre-programmed" like NPCs in a video game.

I couldn't care less, I just think the irony around the people who came up with it is hilarious.

People who call them NPCs are just NPCs reciting a script.
People who call THOSE people NPCs are also just NPCs reciting a script about NPCs reciting a script.
Ad infinitum.

I'm sure it's meant to be, but it really says more about the person using that term

I'm a little past thinking Trump supporters are a funny sort of ironic. I can't feel particularly bothered by it either though.

Oh but to the topic at hand, yes, it's their way of coping with their own lack of empathy you know.

no, but watching everyone get bent out of shape over it is dehumanizing once you realize you're human too.

I've heard a liberal actually say they want an establishment running things and not somebody from wrestling. I thought wow I wasn't expecting that.

This basically. It's like soyboy cuck SJW and all the other words that the far right have coined as insults for progressives. They're nothing terms that I can't even bring myself to pretend to be offended by

I mean, it's basically saying a group of people don't have any real sentience to them, so it's dehumanizing by design.

Is it a big deal? No.

Only the far left thinks that, liberals and everyone else arent childish enough to think an internet meme is dehumanizing, most normal people reserve such a powerful word for real shit.

The right may have proliferated the current NPC meme, but "NPCs" can fall anywhere on the ideological/political spectrum.

No, it's a stupid joke.

It's really funny though how the left seems to have three standard responses to the NPC thing though.

It's also going to be really funny in 3 months when every person that cried about how dumb/awful it is starts using it just like they did with cuck.

Its stupid, but I dont take it seriously lol.

Just think its funny that, given how much mental gymnastics you have to do to actually buy any of the current GOPs nonsense, that their supporters are the ones saying others cant think for themselves. <_<

Almost no one is offended by it. It's more laughing at the people using it who are trying so hard to force it as a thing.

It could go either way.

Calling people out on their inaction is fine.
Flat out saying other people don't matter isn't.

"stop trying to make fetch happen! It's not going to happen! In the ten years since Mean Girls came out, we're still no closer to having "fetch" as a common slang term, though the quote "stop trying to make fetch happen" has achieved its own popularity as a means of mocking the out-of-touch."


This is a doozy of a post.
