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

They DO NOT like this meme at all. It hits too close to the truth.
Funny and effective.

Love it, love it, LOVE it!
Pass it around.
yah these are absolutely brutal
If it causes rising blood pressure and stress on the left, so be it.
Personally, I have way more important stuff to attend to.
Some of the selections in the drop downs are pretty funny.
It reminds me of the scene from “The life of Brian” when Brian tells the crowd that they are individuals.
Thousands answer “Yes, we’re all individuals”.
Guess you had to be there.
reminds me of the scene from Pink Floyd “The Wall” movie, where all of the faceless kids are marching off the conveyor line into the meat grinder.
they all look the same, all in lockstep with each other, single file line..
I’m not.

"Keep movin', movin', movin' Though they're disapprovin' Keep them dogies movin' Rawhide! Don't try to understand 'em Just rope, and throw, and brand 'em"
This is a sign of winning. People get it, the farce that is journalism and the phoniness of SJW types.

A while back I was calling these robotic people “scripted slogan-shouters”, but the fast-moving NPC memesters are way ahead of me. In Orwell’s _Animal_Farm_, the slogan was “Four legs good!! Two legs bad!!”.
I still miss the Apple woman and her hammer, but things are different now — we’re putting our own content on the Orwellian telescreen, and they really hate it.
