    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.

      No, I shouldn’t. I never claimed it was a particularly fair bet. Probably should check the terms before accepting.
