4channers are loving insane and they actually think being a weird shut-in who mods Skyrim to be filled with big anime titties makes them enlightened patricians while everyone else is just an NPC lol. Imagine thinking so highly of yourself for doing so little.

Hearing about this NPC poo poo makes me way to crack open RPGMaker and build a crowd scene where every character is just saying CHUD catchphrases from throughout history.

I kind of want to gently caress with a chud's head until they doubt their own agency and convince them they're an npc, except I realise that's a lovely thing to do

I'm trying to figure out how to explain this NPC poo poo when it inevitably comes up in the wild, and possibly at work.

Maybe "A far right conspiracy theorist version of 'sheeple' - the idiotic background characters who naively believe the lugenpresse"

How's that?

They think that their real life is a video game, that they are playing a character in it, and that any other character they encounter who opposes them is a constructed non-human. These "playerless" or non-player characters (NPCs) exist because of intentional, hostile outside controlling agents, but have no actual humanity. It's solipsism but only for disagreement.

E: it also only exists to allow a particular kind of nerd to dismiss an entire person's worldview out of hand.

He's not wrong, though. America as a whole is bigoted as gently caress. Look at how it lost it's loving mind over Obama and went full fascist as a result of a black man having power. Yeah, it sucks they have to go that route, but right now, in this political climate, it is the only chance. The world is a gently caress. Women can't even breathe without being told they're whiny entitled man-hating pieces of poo poo, and black people are getting murdered by cops because they exist while not white. So yeah, being a white man makes you privileged to do whatever the gently caress you want and everyone will support you.

Let's not forget that MAGA people are mostly white, male, cishet, and all the other privileged groups. Which means NPCs are mostly... everyone else. And let's not forgot who else depersonalized marginal groups. :godwin:

You've clearly never been inside a "Christian Store." There's a whole industry of terrible clutter so you can feel holy and spiritual without actually paying attention to the tenets of your religion!

Have these alt-right dweebs never seen an actual pussy hat? They're just beanies with cat ears! Why do they assume it's meant to depict actual genitals?!

Why do people say "everyone who disagrees with me is repeating talking points."? Who, generally, believes that? What benefit does that give them? And what does saying that imply about the speaker and her worldview?

No I've seen chan threads posted of people honestly arguing that everyone but them doesn't have inner thoughts. That they think and act fundamentally different because the cashier at McDonalds wasn't paying attention to them.

Yeah 4chan culture is a particular brain poison and most of the awful alt-right poo poo we're dealing with now came from there. The alt-right is appealing because it gives bland nerds the ability to feel enlightened and special. Nearly every subforum on that site is about being a memeber of an edgy counterculture that's above the masses. It's all driven by narcissism and this NPC stuff is just an extension of that.

Hell the whole gamergate thing came along because people like Bannon realized that there's tons of disaffected nerds out there who just needed some light nudging towards nationalism.

I dunno, do we really believe that Trump supporters are cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers, or do we just think it's a fun shortcut to call them chuds?
