minus-squaretheneverfox@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·18 hours agoAny term we pick is going to be offensive. We’re gesturing at the concept of them being less human than us But like… It’s kind of true. It’s like they don’t experience the world around them, they just adapt to it without comment like a Sim They just seem like they’re missing the spark. NPC is probably a kinder term than what we’d come up with otherwise
