Its a needless emotionalisation of the topic. It might work with NPCs but people who can see behind it will get irritated.

- pseudalopex 2y ago> NPCs You believe this is better than Stasi fans?
- blueflow 2y agoNot really. But any euphemism (like sheep, lemming) i could use to refer to "people who are incapable of critical thinking" would, by that use, become a pejorative, so there is no way to win that battle. I picked NPC because it entered youth slang in the last years and understanding of that word is widespread.

Any euphemism they could use to refer to people who support mass surveillance would, by that use, become a pejorative, so there is no way to win that battle. In your reasoning at least. And none of these are euphemisms really.
- blueflow 2y agoNice try but that didn't work out. "Chat Control Advocates". Edit: Child Protectors. Cheese Haters. Dickpic Stealers. Now i get all the ideas for funny euphemisms.
- pseudalopex 2y ago> Nice try but that didn't work out. "Chat Control Advocates". The groups overlap but are not identical. And you could have said some people. But you wanted to show your disdain. > Child Protectors. Cheese Haters. Dickpic Stealers. You believe these are not pejorative?
- blueflow 2y agoI think they are more some kind of joke than pejorative.
- baxtr 2y agoNeedless in your view. Drawing attention always requires emotionalisation.
