It's because a key component of fascism is an idea (unspoken or not) of a warrior class that acts upon others, that they're liberated through violence and have the agency to act upon those labeled as beneath them as they please. That's what fascist aesthetics sells to them, this dream that they can be a powerful warrior with agency by becoming part of the fascist machine, by sacrificing themselves and others to it.
The whole "NPC" thing is just this amorphous underlying ideal slipping into the modern treat-centric framework, telling the angry treat lads that their opponents "aren't even real" while selling them a dream of being the heroic player character that actually exists and can take action, which they can do by becoming part of the fascist machine and sacrificing themselves and others to it.
It's just this whole "strong individual warrior" shit through and through. For America this used to be this idealized image of a settler patriarch stealing land and ruling his family as his own personal property that was trapped in the middle of the woods with him. Now it's an idealized image of some dipshit CoD character or Kratos or the Dragonborn, cool violence men who act with agency in worlds full of things that fundamentally lack agency in every way.
What makes it funny is that, doesn’t the right want people to be NPCs? Like isn’t that their whole takeaway of why they hate “slave morality?”
Authoritarianism isn't even slowed down by cognitive dissonance. They crave "strong men" to rule them even more when they feel confused.
Further, almost everything fascists accuse others of is projection because they can't contemplate other ways of thinking or living that they aren't already doing. See the ch!nlords and their pedophile accusations while being the foremost distributor of child porn known to the general public.
"NPC" is modern nazi slang signaling that someone is targeted as less than human and should have atrocities committed against them.
Fuck Pim Tool, of course, but fuck nazis and fuck g!mer nazis. :heated-gamer-moment: :solidarity: :frothingfash:
