NPC when referring to other people. It does nothing but dehumanize them.
That is the point of calling someone an NPC.
I think the implication is that the person is thoughtlessly following an ideology, in the same way most people using the term are.
Isn't the whole point to dehumanise them?
They're calling them a "none playable character" after all.
We? Who's we? 😳
I am not sure if this is a joke or not, so I won't upvote nor downvote lol
Isn't the point to claim someone is not thinking for themselves and is just going with whatever is popular at the moment? Like he has no real agency?
I do this, and it is because I consider some people as soulless entities purely put here to stir up drama for this terrible reality show we all live in.
