I've never heard of them... but now Twitter is banning them:

What Is the ‘NPC’ Meme? Liberals Rage at Cartoons Mocking Their Scripted Thoughts



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.

The popular NPC meme trend frames its targets as non-player characters (NPCs) who reflexively spout neo-Marxist axioms in response to real-world events. Actual NPCs are computer-controlled characters in video games with limited scripted responses given the parameters of the games in which they appear. For example, NPCs may assign quests to the player in games like Skyrim, or join the player as a companion in Fallout.

Built on the long-running Wojak meme, the NPC meme mocks leftists as expressionless in appearance and bot-like in behavior. The universal standard appearance illustrates the left’s political homogeneity.



The trending NPC memes can be seen on several Facebook pages, and are spreading quickly on Twitter, Reddit, and 4Chan as well. Below is a selection showing the versatility and creativity of the right’s meme creators

News media outlets such as CNN and MSNBC are targeted by the NPC meme:





D.C.-based protesters agitating against the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court:



Che Guevara t-shirts:

That's funny.

Heard of it for the very first time on Mark Dice's vid today.
The major media monopolies are constantly doing everything they can to thwart conservative-speak.
Even thought they are now putting on a different face now mostly because they fear Trump.
I'm generally not one for guberment control of much but it is only going to get worse and more sophisticated in their silencing of speech.
If the left ever gets control then they will unleash unrepentantly and openly.
In the mean time NPC is pretty funny.

Today's slang for lemmings, and it's hilarious.

Interesting albeit a little long take on NPC:

Sensitive little fuckers, aren't they?

The sophisticated, the progressive, the future of the human species are letting themselves get played by nonplayable characters. They're going to have to feel pretty silly sometime.

They *are* the NPCs.

Maybe they would prefer this kind of depiction:

Sure, but that's what makes it funny. They claim they're not NPCs, and yet a mere meme is enough to get them worked up. How can they claim to not be something that they, at the very least, so clearly relate to?

Can we assume that PC could also mean "player character", or more realistically, people who think they're player characters?

In short, no. You’re reaching too far with it. The PC is what the game is played on, by the player.

I freaking love this. As a guy who has played many games over the years (on both PC and console) as a PC (player character) I have met countless NPC in games.

The idea to turn the lefties into NPCs is genius, and the reason they are so spun up and pissed off is because it is TRUE and hits close to home.

If the meme was off the mark it would be ignored. The fact that they get so worked up about it means that all I can say is: More please!

Now I want to sign up for twitter so that I can get banned for a stupid meme.

My god Liberals are such cry babies.

Yeah, I know. Some confusion is possible. If you ask most people what PC stands for they will say Political Correctness.

Back in the day most people would say Personal Computer.

Way, way, way down the list is Playable Character, but it does exist and I know that it does.

Especially when we are in a thread about the NPC meme!


And yes, if I saw a SJW screaming that they WERE a PC, and not just PC, I would think that they were protesting the NPC meme and saying they had a brain by being an actual PC (Player Character).
