Last week, a trolling campaign organized by right-wing internet users spilled over onto Twitter. The campaign, which was born in the fever swamps of 4chan and Reddit message boards, involved creating hundreds of fictional personas with gray cartoon avatars, known as NPCs.

Absolutely agree! Accurate and hilarious.
The left considers themselves the vanguard of civilization. Non player characters can't even affect the outcome of the game they are in.
It does seem to me there is something insidious going on. Maybe its just me. Seems to me 4chan has banned so many users even the shills arent wasting effort. The place seems to be a ghost town to me. Someone seems to have wiped the net of all the Qtards which may seem to be a blessing but is scary when you think about it. I have been trying to verify my suspicions by searching web traffick on 4chan but that seems to be broken on every web traffic web site I try to use. Someone has really done a number on the internet in the last couple weeks, it seems to me.
Could you translate that? I thought 4chan was the Wild West of trolling, memes and weaponized autism.
