NPC's... what are they?

[b0x]

I was watching Taylor Swift arriving at an airport in Japan. And I wondered, how could people act like this?

What's actually happening here?

 

[Naidyonov]

The Collective.

 

[CAPTAIN HAPPY]

The great electron.

 

[Osmosis Jones]

2 nukes

This is light on the NPC scale. You should come to Canada lol

the quick rundown is that mass media exploits and short-circuits human social behavior.

 

[Shidoen]

Play Oblivion and realize that the average npc is smarter in that game than irl.

 

[The Last Stand]

Me.

Why were you watching Taylor Swift arriving at an airport?
That's a far more interesting question than why are a bunch of no-lives getting excited.

reason #9001 to limit exposure to TV broadcasts, newspapers, and celebrity gossip magazines?

Because I find the cognative dissonance interesting. I mean, these are Taylor Swifts biggest fans. Therfore, they should know the most about her. She has a team, of Producers, publicists, songwriters, marketers, film makers, stylists, and editors. At best her contribution is less than 20% of the total product they are selling, and yet the fans, just eat it up. It virtually defies logic.

I read a shitty Chinese web novel once, the protagonist who was probably a Gary Stu married Taylor Swift.

Not her proper, but some merchant lady who looked like her. Not a woman who had the same physical characteristics as Taylor Swift, but a character who was described as looking like Taylor Swift.

Woman must exude some kind of oriental pheromones.

I occasionally say things like "Go with honor" when people leave just to fuck with them about the NPC thing.

Japanese people, seemingly

Fame is a hell of a drug.

Most modern day pop and rap music can best be described with this. Even Taylor‘s #1 rival Kanye West gets hit with the same criticisms. Only difference is that on the surface, he is at least self-aware about it.

NPC's are child like followers. Where as your average person will follow the party line even though they may disagree with parts of it, an "NPC" believes in it with a child/cult like devotion not questioning anything.

NPC's are the culmination of 3-4 generations of conditioning to create a permanent diminished mental state in the populace.

Most people are followers, but what sets those often called "NPCs" apart? Typically they often display child like tendencies.

Looping aside, that's the most authentic greeting I've ever seen. An earnest question, an honest answer, and a concise but meaningful response. 10/10 acting and writing

When thing™ popular, people go ''MUST CONSOOOME''.
