It has meant non-player character since the original D&D written by Gary Gygax. Thanks.

Is Gygax pronounced like Gyros?

usually when I hear it, some red-pill nerd is referring to ordinary people while repeating the same bullshit as every other red-pill nerd. who the fuck in the general public knows or cares of video game jargon? "oh, oh, you're like a character made out polygons" fuck off

--that's a hypothetical fuck off to the hypothetical nerd, no ill intent specifically
