It's an alt right wing meme to make people they don't agree with to look like what they call "NPCs"
The idea being that those they disagree with have obviously not thought out their arguments and are just parroting what they are told to say, and as such are Non-Player Characters.
As with many of these pre-packaged arguments, they attempt to dehumanize and other the person they are disagreeing with, and associate with them a set of ideas without actually arguing with a person.
I've seen this meme before. It's not smart.
I've seen alterations of this meme from the left. It's not particularly any more smart, but at least they're willing to laugh at the idea of being portrayed as an NPC.
As with pretty much any meme posted, the choice to post it lessens my opinion of the poster automatically.
