It’s so obnoxiously narcissistic. “Oh, I am so above the unwashed normal people. I am not stupid, like a commoner. I’m the special superior chosen one. The main character. Me me me!”

No you aren’t, nerd. You’re an egotistical asshole.

Girl at the dog park told me her dog is the main character and she is the npc.

Those sorts of people are supposed to get cats. Dogs are natural masochists and live to serve.

You’re not dominant enough. Get a cat.

My cat does the same. She meows loudly if we aren’t in our home office on time, and if we aren’t upstairs at quitting time.

There’s a reasonably well grounded hypothesis that dogs and humans mutually domesticated each other. And there’s another theory that rather than humans domesticating cats cats domesticated us.

While NPC is definitely a bit yikes. Normie might just refer to average every day people (you know people who just want to grill or exist somewhere between liberal/centrist/conservatism). Normies are functioning members of society who might get their news from msnbc or foxnews but are very often much happier and healthier than the person that uses the word normie. If you unironically use the word normie you are to be pitied because its very likely that your existence is a sad one.

Normie = emotionally well-adjusted person who has found success in life and is generally content about their identity and lot in life

and they make me sick :bern-disgust:

The phrase “Well adjusted to injustice” comes to mind.

Also, why don’t we have any Cornel West emotes?

You can substitute “muggle” and it’s pretty much the same word. People who aren’t aware of what’s going on and don’t care.

People show their whole ass when they use NPC like that imo. It’s like “alpha” in that regard.
