What Is the ‘NPC’ Meme? Liberals Rage at Cartoons Mocking Their Scripted Thoughts
Breitbart ^ | Robert Kraychik

Posted on 10/21/2018 4:49:19 AM PDT by The Raven

The new “NPC” meme mocks leftists by depicting them as unthinking and reflexive automatons. The meme has upset the left so much that Twitter is now banning people posting it for “dehumanizing speech,” but its humble origins are the computer-controlled characters of limited intelligence found in most video games.

This is hilarious. It stuff got started on 4chan a couple weeks ago, then made it’s way into the_donald on reddit. Didn’t think it would take off so quickly and with such astounding results!

This really bothers liberals ! HAHA!

Leftists being compared to irrelevance. Women and children hardest hit. News at 6.

Then righties set up thousands of hilarious twitter accounts with the gray cartoon and names like “NPC00010100”, and twitter banned them all.

Next move was to set up parody leftist accounts with names having NPC initials and pictures of leftists. More bans again, but think how their algorithms are messed up now.

Some accounts survived these next set of bans, like this one:

A non-player character (NPC), also known as a non-playable character, is any character in a game which is not controlled by a player. In video games, this usually means a character controlled by the computer via predetermined or responsive behavior, but not necessarily true artificial intelligence.

Here's another reason why the Left hates the NPC meme:

One letter down from 'NPC' spells 'MOB', and that's a perfect description of the Left nowadays.

But alas, Facebook and Twitter can't quite get rid of the #NPC hashtag, because it so well describes the actions of the Left, particularly the Antifa mob.

It bothers them because it is true.

The pretense of diversity is really important to them, I suppose.

That was hilarious!

Do you know if these accounts have to be manually set up, or can you script or program NPC account generation?

It seems, to me, like scripting or programming should be able to render this Social Media unusable, but I don’t know what protections are in place.

Of course, I am happy that President Trump has his outlet on Twitter. The fake news would prefer all of his speech to be banned.

4chan nailed them. If there’s one thing Leftist fanatics can’t stand its to be mocked. They have no sense of humor and take themselves ridiculously seriously. For others to just laugh at them is more than they can bear.

Nice catch...

Will start referring to them as "The NPC Mob".

Hackles at 11:00.

Don’t know. I didn’t think so. The_Donald and 4chan have some very creative Patriots on there. What’s funny is that some of the leftist complaints about the NPCs actually said “those are Russian bots!”

Gray pride parade

LMAO. There was an NPC at the Mesa Trump rally. I saw another picture of him blending right in with the (Soros paid) leftist protesters there.

That’s because they are narcissists.
