NPC isn't an incel slang term. It stands for Non Player Character. It's basically any character in a video game not controlled by a human player (So some sort of AI). When people call a person and NPC, it usually means they're calling them basic or unremarkable.

NPC isn’t a dog whistle lol. Some people might use it that way but the general use of it is just from gaming and it’s just another way of saying someone isn’t an important character in your life

"NPC isn't a dog whistle it's a gaming term" the definition of a dog whistle is something that can be said inconspicuously

lets stop using vocab we just learnt guys💔 A dog whistle is subtle with plausible deniability. Calling someone an NPC is so overtly insulting and is such a common insult that its not a dog whistle of any sort

No stress, low cortisol, "slop" coming from "goyslop", chud, etc. They're either dog whistles no one thinks to check, or they're appropriating AAVE

Everyone is saying NPC is an ableist dog whistle, but the post says racist dog whistle, so I'm curious as to what she's actually talking about because it clearly isn't NPC 😭

“Noticing” was originally an antisemitic dog whistle still makes me uncomfortable to read because i went down a loop on that part of tiktok and it was horrible

the entire point of dog whistles is not everyone who uses them means them as a secret term. that's why they work

I grew up gaming, I get it but like you’re not gonna press me over a gaming term. It’s not my fault they took it over

npc does have great dog whistle potential but it’s heavily dependent on context. npc is still a pretty common term in gaming spaces and, while the two communities intersect in toooooo many areas, they’re not the same.

b0llocks in a box :
Dog whistles are only viable as dog whistles if few enough people use them but they stipl sound normal. Since everyome uses NPC, it's not a reliable dog whistle, unless used in very specific scenarios. I mean idk low cortisol for example, litch everyone's using it so it's hard for it to become a dog whistle.
