it is a fact that many conservatives are either bots or have been influenced by bots so, taking away the faulty premise that people have asserted that "all" conservatives are bots, the two buttons in the meme are not mutually exclusive

It's one of the funniest things in quite a while because of how true it rings. It can also be fairly applied to robots on the right as well, so it's multi-purpose.

Doesn't it just refer to people who never "break their programming" because they never question anything they've seen or been told? That could apply to many people from all walks of life, and it's not limited to politics by any means. Could be blindly believing everything your parents told you, everything you learned in school, everything doctors or scientists say, the media, the government, religion, etc.

When it comes to a lot of things, the only thing you can really know for sure is that you don't know. Go into every situation with an open mind, not thinking that you already know the answer. You are really just closing off your mind to all other possibilities whenever you take a hardline stance like that.

some American families have the same reoccurring "mistakes" throughout their entire timeline since immigrating to America. obsession with preserving toxic heritage and tradition makes it difficult for many to deviate from that programming.

for many families, taking L's is a way of life. the same situation for generations because they keep trying to recapture romanticized ideals that were always short sighted and doomed to fail.

It's a fun meme but a tad overrated IMO. People have been called others sheeple, brainwshed, lemmings, zombies, etc. since forever.

The one big difference with this meme is that it's quite effectively illustrated. They've put a face to it. "NPC" also has more relevance to the younger generation and their vidya games.

It's not dumb when it's so effective.

That's exactly why it's ineffective. It makes no sense at all. Sheep makes sense. Sheep get herded. NPCs have a line they say which is usually irrelevant. If anything it's ironic that people would try to use it as an insult, but it's coming from Trump supporters and they tend to think their farts are clever so it's not surprising.

It doesn't make sense though. Parroting the same buzzwords and talking points is something the right has been doing since before the election and now the left is starting to do it to mock them... and right is calling them out as NPCs over behavior that is meant to imitate their own. It's like when someone is impersonated by someone else in a mocking fashion and then makes fun of them for looking silly while not realizing it's imitation/mockery.

NPC = Non Playable Character.

I mean.

And add to it that NPCs basically rarely say anything related to whatever situation they are in. They are just there for you to get tidbits about whatever environment. I guess generally in story parts they progress the story too.

I can't really think of a clever parallel here for sheep in gaming, other than lemmings.

LOL that's a mental gymnastic way of looking at it. But really lets not pretend the left hasn't been parroting talking points and buzzwords all the same for just as long.

Actually now that I think about it I take it back, the term is fitting for Trump supporters, lacking any empathy whatsoever, to use. It would make sense that they view themselves as the only "real" person in a world of faceless nothings.

Probably what they are trying but failing to express if I don't miss my guess.

https://archive.is/7pEVf

Kotaku got triggered and release an article titled How The NPC Meme Tries To Dehumanize SJWs'

Its one thing to claim that a persons strongly-held views are informed by nothing at all, but entirely another to imply that theyre completely on auto-pilot. That is dehumanization, a way of reconceiving your enemies as objects, pawns, strawmen, tools. At best, dismissing large swaths of people you disagree with this way betrays a lack of empathy for people whose experiences differ from yours, and an unwillingness to consider that if a vast number of people happen to agree over something, it may be good to examine why; at best, it is a great utility for spreading bogus conspiracy theories.
