The NPC thing nailed it home to me just how dystopic this is.
- alpaca128 5y agoIt's just like when supermarket cashiers are forced to ask every customer if they have a member card, and if not, if they want one. I deliberately avoid some chains just because of this. It's degrading for the employees, it's like telling them "see, we can't replace you with robots yet, but until then please act like robots or else".
- andrepd 5y agoAsking for a member card is not so bad, but memorizing a script praising your boss is another step entirely.
- Gravityloss 5y agoGoing a bit off topic but I find the comparing people to NPC thing disturbing, even as a joke. It is a very ego centric way of thinking. It's a real person just like you with hopes and dreams and everything. I feel that people have been playing too much video games as kids.
- jonathankoren 5y agoAre you saying you find the comparison offensive, or the dehumanization by the corporation to be offensive?
- RalfWausE 5y agoHmm... odd thing for an NPC to say...
