>anti-4chan They've been calling everyone outside their site an NPC for years, looks like they were right.

  It's funny how you can now tell who spends time on 4chan by when they start going off calling people NPCs

    I think it's just a Young People Thing.

      That they invented all on their own and shares no resemblance to the previous generation calling people sheep

    It's just convenient shorthand for ideas that have been around a long time to describe the behavior of the serf class when powerful entities decide what they should believe, which may be all of history. It may or may not be useful to condense all of that into a single term but we do understand what is being conveyed.

      And it gets applied by people spreading Qanon neonazi propaganda on an anonymous image board

        It gets applied by all kinds of people of all kinds of political persuasions. Ironically the description you just gave is very NPC tier.

          The people I have seen it in 90%+ of scenarios are the ones I described in my previous comment, but apparently observing neonazis use a particular word makes me a sheep somehow I guess

            Maybe you should read less neonazi propaganda on anonymous image boards?
            • kevviiinn 3y ago
              Unfortunately it's spread far beyond the image board and onto every social media site, it isn't that easy to avoid

    It's funny how you can tell who spends time on reddit by when they say you said something you didn't say to burn you at the stake.
