"These kids today... they don't know how to wield the privileges of youth like we did back in the day."

"You're old, so you don't matter — that worked for us Boomers when we were young, but it doesn't work against us now that we're old. For one thing, it's too damned easy to look up any term or slang expression or song lyric. Is there any arcana of youth that's not searchable on the internet?"

That's me, carrying on in the comments to yesterday's post "And yet this isn't 'fake news' problem. (It's just a fake opinion that's a waste-of-time problem.)" The "arcana" in question is the term "NPC."

Also in that comments thread, Ken B wrote:
Wait. You knew the NPC term, but didn’t twig to the satire? You, who boasted of her acumen in just exactly that? You who implied your critics were stupid because their satire detectors were slower than yours?
My response:
I didn't know whether it was another overstated social justice warrior opinion or somebody making fun of such people. That was based on the headline ["It’s time to admit that Dave Chappelle is a white supremacist"]. I was annoyed to have to wasted my time going any further. Thinking about a three-letter name for the website wasn't something I chose to do first. It's a boring name and it doesn't try to say this is satire. It tries to looks like RCP or NBC or one of the many generic letter-sets that are names for websites. It's not efficient to contemplate the letters. In fact, it's not efficient to care about whether it's another social justice warrior or somebody making fun of such people. The fun-makers are not doing much other than repeating what they think an sjw would say, so there's really nothing to detect. I clicked through only because I'm interested in what's being said about and done to Dave Chappelle. I think maybe the sjws are cancelling him and I want to monitor that. I wasted my time clicking into something else.
That brought a quick "Methinks thou doth protest too much" (from tomaig). I said:
That's exactly how people try to push Trump back when he fights attacks. I have learned some things from Trump. #1 — Don't get suckered by your opponent's assertion that your fighting works against you. When they make that argument, it's because they are tired of fighting. Keep after them.
And when JackWayne said...
Althouse needs to get on the mailing list for NPC, IMAO and the Bee. Her sense of satire is atrophied. Too much lefty satire which is usually SNL-bad has created a void in her sense of humor.
I answered:
I see that stuff linked at Instapundit and have for years. My sense of humor is my sense of humor. I really don't want to get it to be more like those places. What is mine is exactly the right size for me. Finding MORE things funny might be considered — in your view — a less "atrophied" sense, but in my view, it's lower quality. I don't think having a great sense of humor means finding the most things funny! If it were, the person with the best sense of humor would be some sadistic freakish monster.

And it appears to be: Using "humor" to attack the Right is the heart of comedy (Griffin, SNL) but using humor to attack the Left is boorish and unappealing.

traditionalguy said...

MAD Magazine started this satire and we all loved it once. The question is why we are irritated with it today. Maybe because it is hard to translate any thing needing a background context because there are so many narratives going off everywhere that Babylon Bee seems real at first read.

Obviously, I appreciate Trump's sense of humor. That's all over this blog (and I've paid a social price for showing it).

rehajm said...

My reaction was similar to Ann's even though I'd been warned I was looking at satire. It wasn't all that satirical, just repeating what a sjw would say. I looked at some of the other headlines at NPC too. Same deal. There's an ostentatiousness to the TBB and Onion that's absent at NPC. That doesn't work in satire.

I'm skeptical that Althouse was even aware of what the NPC term meant. I don't recall her covering the meme here on her blog, even though she routinely showcases how language and humor is used politically.

Bill, Republic of Texas said...

I'm with Fen. I think the Althouse over reaction is based on embarrassment she fell for a satire because she didn't know the NPC meme.

The SJW/Left knows that laughter isn't just "The best medicine" its an incredibly political weapon. Once you get everyone laughing AT your political opponent - you've won. Its why Snopes is going after the B.Bee and why every conservative Meme or edgy Right wing satirist/comedian who becomes too popular suddenly loses their advertising or gets banned by Youtube/Facebook/twitter.

The NPC meme was actually banned on twitter. So was "Learn to Code".

Satire takes what they would say and pushes it to an absurd extreme. (The most famous example, of course, is A Modest Proposal—Swift wasn’t accusing the British of wanting to literally eat Irish babies.)

The problem these days, as is often pointed out by folks in the right, is that the real left is so ridiculous that it’s often not possible to push it to an absurd extreme—absurd extreme is the starting point satirists are working from. This kerfuffle is itself a great example—the professor couldn’t tell it was satire because liberal activist really are arguing for “eating Irish babies.”

Wince said...

Even if you have a good idea, it hard to write good satire. I thought the Chappell satire was a good idea, but I didn't think it was delivered well at all by NPC.

At its essence, the NPC satire was a straw man opinion piece. To be effective doing that, you have to avoid a full caricature of your opponent's viewpoint. Otherwise you're just shooting fish in a barrel.

The better satire is the supposed "straight news" approach, where you capture the obtuseness and absurdity of the prevailing "objective" media narrative to deliver the subtext that is you commentary.

I don't seek that satire out, but I think BB and the Onion in its day did a good job of it.

rhhardin said...

I have a nice audio clip somewhere of a Radio Japan announcer trying to say barrel, when the topic was pork barrel politics and it kept coming up.

Don't I remember NPC being a topic here at Althouse, several weeks back? A certain commenter who's name rhymes with fuck was called out for being a NPC. Hilarity ensued. (I had to google the term)

Mary Beth said...

I think you could see the NPC meme and, since it's one of a million memes, it might not really stick in your memory in a way that would make "NPC" in the headline jump out at you. If you were a gamer and familiar with NPCs before the meme, then it's more memorable because you realize how accurate that description is.

I’m one of those radicals whose rage is intertwined with psychological fragility, whose anger at real wrongs is corrupted by my existential panic about myself."

Sebastian said...

"it’s often not possible to push it to an absurd extreme"

True. And that allows Althouse to claim, truthfully, that she couldn't tell the satire from the real thing, and That's Not Funny either.

Of course, for us deplorables it is funny, in a darkish sort of way: in many cases now, the repetition is the satire, the simulacrum is the real thing, the absurdity speaks for itself.

It is also distressing: the realization that progs really have gone around the bend. I mean, what part of the 7-hour town hall was not utterly and completely crazy?

Ken B said...

So what is left of your claim, which you made to justify insulting people, of nearly perfect and rapid satire detection ? You seem simply unable to admit you didn’t get it, and thus that maybe a bunch of us who say you often don’t get it have a point.

Amadeus 48 said...

A lot of people who comment here were born fighting (and I regard that as a compliment), but geez, folks, give it a rest. Althouse has shown any number of times that she gets Trump’s sense of humor. That is not a cost-free observation in a place like Madison. She maintains a comment section that is open to idiots of ever race, creed, and color (as Mad Magazine would have said). Not everything posted on the internet or blathered out on Twitter is worthy of even a moment’s attention.

The more interesting thing is the possibility that the warped people on social media are trying to cancel people like David Chapelle, and that the timid corporate clowns will let them.

Althouse has never read Atlas Shrugged, but the craven, vicious behavior of the large business interests is very clear in that book. Chapelle’s biggest risk is that he loses his platforms. If the SJWs can break Chapelle, they will.

Pete said...

Althouse posted "My sense of humor is my sense of humor."

It's a well known fact that Althouse has no sense of humor. Beware her thoughts of what is funny.

Yancey Ward said...

Someone, I forget who now, suggested in that thread that if "Uncle Tom" had been used to describe Chappelle, then it wouldn't have been satire at all (not that "white supremecist" is all that far from how some on the Left would probably describe Chappelle today- maybe already have). That is the problem with satire today- reality is killing it.

Satire is like jazz: Either it brings pleasure or it doesn’t. Althouse is simply being honest.

Ann Althouse said...

"I'm with Fen. I think the Althouse over reaction is based on embarrassment she fell for a satire because she didn't know the NPC meme. "I'd never heard of NPC, so I thought this was a serious opinion and wasted time on it.""

Wrong.

I'd never heard of NPC the satirical website.

I know the slang term NPC but it didn't occur to me that a website with 3 letters as its name was referring to that. Today I was talking to someone who was working with a company called TDS, and I didn't think that stood for Trump Derangement Syndrome, though I am familiar with the term. Generic 3-letter business names just don't seem to be saying anything worth focusing in on.

The idea that you think I would LIE about knowing the term... it's just so insulting to me. I don't lie and if you read this blog you should know that. Casually accusing me of lying is really LOW.

Ann Althouse said...

When Cernovich wrote "if you didn't get the NPC reference," I thought he was saying that some people know this to be a satirical website.

Anyone who thinks I am lying about this can apologize to me or I have a low opinion of you.

n.n said...

If you were a gamer and familiar with NPCs before the meme, then it's more memorable because you realize how accurate that description is.

A technical term of art to describe a relation, a generic term for a passive element. Unlike fetus, which is used to establish professional distance and in popular use to dissociate from the target and collateral damage.

Fen said...

It's neither low nor unreasonable, as you engaged in other similar acts in the past (like the argument of battery storage capacity). We are allowed to disbelieve you. So casually accusing us of being low itself low.

Ann Althouse said...

Of all the things I'd be motivated to lie about, knowledge about video game bullshit is just about last on the list. Do you think this is something I take pride in being knowledgable about? I couldn't care less! To those of you who are proud of your knowledge of this important area of human endeavor: Go lose yourself in your moronic fantasy world! Who cares?!

Howard said...

"Anyone who thinks I am lying about this can apologize to me or I have a low opinion of you."

You already have a low opinion of us, else you wouldn't be making such an unreasonable demand. We are allowed to doubt you. And I will not apologize for keeping my own counsel.

Fen said...

"To those of you who are proud of your knowledge of this important area of human endeavor: Go lose yourself in your moronic fantasy world! Who cares?!"

And now you are misrepresenting us. How can you engage in such dishonesty and simultaneously be outraged that we are skeptical of your honesty?

It's ridiculous to attempt to convey that this is a satirical site by using a 3-letter combination. It's utterly meaningless.

Fen said...

"I know the slang term NPC but it didn't occur to me that a website with 3 letters as its name was referring to that."

That's plausible and I would have accepted that explanation, before you went nuts over this. In my experience, when people go nuclear over something they claim they always knew, they didn't.

Fen said...

BTW you have been dishonest with me and treated me unfairly on numerous occasions over the years. I let it go but that doesn't mean I forgot - so I have good reason to hold your integrity suspect.

So while I could care less whether you know some of meme, you need to get over yourself. I'm allowed to have an opinion about your opinion.

I for one don’t doubt that you had heard the NPC thing. You just didn’t twig this time. That strengthens *my* argument, which is that you are not nearly as good with grokking satire and what is or isn’t satire as you think and say you are.

Guildofcannonballs said...

I think Althouse has said "I don't find politics interesting" or something equivalent to that, and many things would be* for my needs here.

That is a lie. I think it is a lie to, and about, herself, more than a lie to her audience.

*Politics is pedestrian. Politicians are staid. People who like politics are banal. People who talk about politics/politicians are uninteresting.

The objection is to eating the cake of politics whilst claiming an aversion, knowing artists are cooler and more respected if they get it right than politicos.

If Althouse claims she loves blogging about politics and politicians I would be wrong and an apology would in fact be due.

So far.

She has courage, just a foundation of lies and hatred it was built on. I think logically, some billioniare ought to give our gal on the scence Ford a couple million to talk about what really happened, with the D's paying for a play.

My name is Darci Lyne. This is a very happy day of my life thanks to the help that Dr. .nosakhare has given me to help me recover my ex-husband with his spell of love and magic. I was married for 6 years and it was so terrible because my husband was really cheating and looking for a divorce, but when I came across Dr..nosakhare email on the internet about how he has helped so many people get their ex back and help fix the relationship and make people happy in their relationship. I explained my situation and then I sought his help, but to my greatest surprise, he told me that he would help me with my case and that I am now celebrating because my husband has totally changed for the better. He always wants to be by my side and can not do anything without my present. I am really enjoying my marriage, what a great celebration.

Now I have to look up what NPC is.

Ah, so it’s still the old gamer term but used in some societal context. Way to go to confuse us old D&D players...

People are taking this satire thing way too seriously.

"Anyone who thinks I am lying about this can apologize to me or I have a low opinion of you."

You want me to disavow my disbelief, apologize for that disbelief, and then pretend I believe you.. all under threat of... what exactly?

You're going to be even meaner and ruder to me than before?

Listen to yourself.

Yes, Ann, what if we all think you're lower than whale shit? You definitely lie all the time, at least by the FBI standard of not being forthcoming.

The fact of the npc piece not reading immediately as satire is a testament to the dour predictability of sjw screeds above all else. An sjw ai wouldn't have to be particularly intelligent to fool us. It's npcs all the way down.

“Jeez, you people are such pathetic cucks arguing over some dweeb gamer acronym.”

Indeed! But it’s been an interesting thread to read, some good insights and some surprises. Low opinions of each other are the common denominator here.
