The use of NPC as a slur is either deeply ironic, or deeply prophetic, depending on whether you think gaming in the future is going to be an OS for civilization or continue as a place to park inconsequential humans in a place of relative psychological stability.

I think the npc meme is centered more around lacking agency than being inconsequential. Npcs are frustrating precisely because they still impact society despite having no original thoughts.

Only en masse and when directed by a mass movement leader. Individual NPCs *are* inconsequential are are leaderless crowds of them. Takes a sociopath to program them.
