At the very least there's actual evidence of Russians using bots to sow disinformation to cause conflict.
---

I mean it's meant to dehumanize people by design. Like that is the only point of calling someone an NPC

Do I care? Not particularly, I think it's hilarious and ironic when righties say it lol.
---

I almost cant believe Trumpers dont see the irony in all banding together to say everyone who doesnt say exactly the same things as them isnt a freethinker

But then again

They unironically like Trump

russian troll farms are real people, bots are just tools used to amplify their message on twitter

at least use correct terminology so your supervisor doesn't activate your shock collar

I am an NPC and I have no problem with that.

I don't like it when liberals do that.

"You shouldn't call people NPCs, it dehumanizes them!"

I've never heard a anyone say that

this seems like a hefty strawman that requires going into the deep ends of the internet to validate

At most I think the NPC meme is dumb

The libs are vindicated.

I know it's a bad idea, but go to Facebook and read the comments on a political article. You'll definitely see it there.

I've seen this exact topic at least 3 times.

You're right, that is a bad idea

I know better than to go to idiotic social media forums that prop up the dumbest people to get an idea for what people are like generally, otherwise I might think The_Donald would be a good representation of the average conservative

Liberals: "You shouldn't dehumanize us! That's OUR thing to do to YOU!"

Do people not realize when they only pay attention to the stupidest arguments on both sides, it just puts them at risk of becoming dumber themselves?
---

There are drones on all sides. No sense in pretending it applies to one but not the other.
---

NPC?

so are NPCs people who just aren't woke?

If this is an anime another world, it is the worst one.

No busty elves.
No sexy wizard girls.
No hot holy swords woman.

NPCs are people that always say the same regurgitated shit instead of ever adding anything of value.

Think people that just say "but hillary!" Or "buttery males" or "Russian bot"

It's not exclusive to the left by any means but they've been targeted the most.
---

Is this another one of those cases where a conservative pretends liberals are saying something and then tries to point out some supposed hypocrisy?

Hm, let me try that.

Conservatives: "Small government!"
Also Conservatives: "Ban the minorities!"

No one with a proper head on their shoulders ever claimed it was dehumanizing. It's just a dumb meme by some dumb incels that completely lack self-awareness.

completely lack self-awareness.

I think the whole point is that these "NPCs" completely lack self awareness

I guess the idea is Elon Musk said we might be in a simulation.

So then maybe some of the people are the builders of the simulation playing while everyone else is npcs.

But again, where is the hot elf girl?

NPCs are people that always say the same regurgitated shit instead of ever adding anything of value. The idea is they only have a set script to follow and can't deviate.

Think people that just say "but hillary!" Or "buttery males" or "Russian bot"

It's not exclusive to the left by any means but they've been targeted the most.

And yes just calling someone an NPC itself is NPC behavior if there is no substance to it.

it's also people who say "NPC!" because a bunch of other people are

edit: oh you said that

use of canned scripts is literally a tool of koch industry paid astroturfers and russian troll farm workers
