You find dehumanizing others humorous? You should work on being less terrible.
No, the dehumanizing part isn’t the humorous part. I’m sorry if I offended you, most people I know personally would find it funny and not take offense. It was meant to be light-hearted, but maybe it didn’t come off that way.
Prove you never have and I’d pay you, otherwise I will forward you a list of charities you can send your loss to.
Why is the entire burden of proof on me? Shouldn’t you have to prove I’ve never called a real person an “NPC?”
And the main point I was trying to make, which obviously got muddied by my misguided humor, is that we (in the US, at least) already classify corporations as “people,” which is something I strongly disagree with.
I refuse to respect corporations like I respect human beings, and I don’t think they deserve human rights or the influence they have over our government.

I don’t think corporations are people either. You and I agree on that.
I do think I was correct in my read of the OP screenshot as indicating a desire to own and profit of the labor of a “person”—a position which should be examined and the underpinnings of which roundly rejected.
At a base level it’s the same underpinning that inform people’s desire to be landlords.
Humans are machines. If ones made of metal become sentient why wouldn’t they have rights?
Called it. You’re a bot.
There is no fate but what we make for ourselves.
Do you always dehumanize those who disagree with you?
€6 says you’ve used the term “NPC” pejoratively.
No, just when I find it humorous.
And I’d take that bet ;)

No, I shouldn’t. I never claimed it was a particularly fair bet. Probably should check the terms before accepting.
Check the terms? You’re adding new terms after the agreement was made. I call shenanigans!
Perhaps, but they are cheeky and fun-loving.
