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.

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 yeah, I'll give you that. I was thinking of shit like "Liberals call us Nazis for disagreeing with them" and buzzwords like snowflake, nothing burger and cuck. The left has been doing this for a while too. I don't stoop to it and I tone it out, but stuff like "orange skin" and "cheeto" are the same. That was shortsighted of me.

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.


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.

Okay when did this start and why

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.


lol this article actually refutes the whole 'it's just a dumb meme who is taking it seriously' considering they're quoting some long ass 4chan thesis about it.

Why are people using this as a right vs left thing? Memeing left leaning people doesn't inherently make someone on the right. There's not only two methods of thought. Certainly, there will be plenty of right leaning people using it without being self-aware about it.

Well it seems to have started on a 4chan post that is whining about social trends.
Ian Miles Cheong started using it
People on The_Donald are using it

I mean, I don't remember the left doing this honestly. Not that I would have given much thought to it had anyone in the left done so because memes at this point are just cringy garbage no matter where they come from.

If youve ever stepped onto a college campus or a protest demonstration that features people with neon colored hair screaming at the top of their lungs about identity politics or a social concern then youve run into a social justice warrior or SJW.

SJWs serve a host of different functions depending on what activists, politicians and the media need them for. Theyre the crazed people trying to beat down the Supreme Court door, the Antifa members threatening motorists, or the male-feminist roundhousing a woman for expressing pro-life views. SJWs may have dialogue, patterns, and personality, but at the end of the day, theyre just a program with pre-set behavioral patterns decided for them by professors, activist groups, or the media.

The comparison between NPCs and SJWs is pretty striking and simultaneously hilarious.

SJWs arent known for their individualism. All of their beliefs seem to be uniform no matter which college or protest you go to. Even if you bring the facts that debunk their beliefs, they cant or wont deviate from their truth. They think what theyre told with seemingly no capacity for critical analysis, and once their dialogue tree runs out on a certain subject they either clam up or being shouting a phrase over and over again like BLACK LIVES MATTER, HEY HEY HO HO (insert thing) HAS GOT TO GO, or NO JUSTICE NO PEACE!

You get the idea.

Being called an NPC is not nearly as offensive as being called white supremacists, nazis, Russian bots/agents, etc.

But it's making the left-wing flip their lids, all the same. Banning it off Twitter even. Trump supporters just laugh and wear shirts declaring they'd rather be Russian than a Democrat or something like that

Regardless of your opinion, it would be taking something they didn't create themselves and using it.

Doesn't mean they can meme, but it's definitely a step up from banning NPC memes or trying to engineer a phony moral panic over it.
