Current Events > NPC meme is so cringe

(+) Yeah! (+)

It was probably the best meme of 2018 based on how on point it was. You know, the best comedy is often stuff that is true and this hit the nail on the head.

The whole NPC meme itself is so lacking in self-awareness

Like... how are you going to accuse someone else of having programmed responses and following scripted lines by being one of many sharing an identical meme
---

I also notice all the "usual suspects" are up ITT talking about how it was the best meme of 2018 while everyone else acknowledges how weird and forced it is

The latter people you mention are the ones that were called it lol. Of course they didnt like it. But come on, when a meme triggers cnn to a point where they are doing segments on it, how isnt it the best meme? And this is from someone who thinks memes are lame

Denial has become a way of life for the usual suspects. They pretend it's great and amazing when in reality they realize it's bad. It's been the MO for Trump supporters and the Trump administration since day one

It's mostly just the lack of self-awareness bit that gets me

A bunch of people with the same political ideology visiting the same websites sharing the same meme images targeting the same people... in the name of accusing other people of following a scripted code

like... bruh.

Best meme of 2018 is gangweed/gamers rise up.

maybe the real NPC memes were the friends we made along the way

no lol

I dont know every posters ideology. But im willing to bet the vast majority of people who dont like it are liberal which is understandable because who likes being the butt of a joke? People need to learn to laugh at themselves again.

Liberals deserve it, thats the key

You've got this backwards, semantically at least.

The vast majority of people don't care about it whatsoever or at worst think it's kind of dumb. The only people I know who find it remotely funny or even share it at all are people who constantly spew whatever the latest conservative talking point is on GameFAQs and 4chan, laughing about how genius and true it is.

Which, again, is why I think it's a dumb meme due to the staggering lack of self-awareness. The very concept of a demographic spreading a meme about following a scripted routine flies directly in the face of the entire notion.

I get your point though im not sure i agree with it. But i also think our experiences are different. Political jokes and memes are usually pretty lame anyways though.

Memes were better when we had jinjo randomely popping up

This I can get on board with

For the record I'd say the same thing if there was a sudden liberal meme about how all conservatives say the exact same things. It just makes no sense to SPREAD A MEME accusing others of all saying the same things. That's literally what memes are.

Cringe meme is so cringe.

I always thought it was ironic.

which is why I've been calling out the right for the behavior attributed to "NPCs" since a few years before the term NPC came into existence in that context

Including when liberals try to reverse it

You realize it wasn't created to insult liberals but the right took over an already existing and dying meme.

Bit ironic when i watch a video and everyone is trying to make fun of "npc" by spamming "orange man bad".

All conservative memes are cringe.
