Twitter has put 1,500 users in Twitter jail for what it calls "coordinated platform manipulation" but critics say it's nothing more than punishing humor.
Twitter says the accounts used cartoon avatars the creators call NPC's. In the gaming world that stands for non-playable character – someone you meet while playing that is controlled by the game and whose sole job it is to pass on information.
Think the voice on your GPS.
Dan Gainor of the Media Research Center explains that those game characters "regurgitate the same thing over and over," and some creative Internet users are comparing that description to liberals.
The people who are calling liberals "NPCs" happen to be Trump supporters, too. It may have been good for a laugh for them but Twitter was not amused.
"Well, the people that work on Twitter are humorless to say the least," observes Gainor, "so while I think this is hilarious, they did not."
Reached by OneNewsNow for comment, a Twitter spokesman said via email that a company rule states users cannot use "misleading" account information to engage in "disruptive" behavior. One example given is the joke "urging" liberals to vote on Nov. 7.
The midterm primaries are November 6.

The first minute where he posts side by sides of 30+ TV reports on the “danger” of social media manipulation and how FB is the hero for squashing dissent is really good.
That the left is so unable to understand the NPC meme is illustrated perfectly by a clip from Boston Antifa at the 7:05 mark. I honestly thought that it was fake but realized that it really is their mindview.
Take the youtube pod challenge and watch this video.
Great video.
This is a terrible description of what NPCs are. They are the people in the background when you walk through a city in a game. They are there to give the illusion that there is life in the city, they seem on the surface to act independently but it's just an illusion. They have limited movements and do and say the same things over and over and over. Just like SJWs.
Leftist social media owners have their twitchy fingers on the “delete all conservative members” button,. The more they get humiliated on their own sites, the more they wonder why they have to share their site with the enemy. It’ll be like a social media civil war.

"It's non-player character."
