"Islam is right about women"

Charlie Foucault-Renne said:
The local police force confirmed that it was a crime (although qualified it with 'technically' whilst insultingly comparing it to posting notices for missing animals, probably because of institutional race and cultural bias).

A hate crime is a criminal offence in which the victim was intentionally selected because of the offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, national origin, gender, or gender identity. As sociology scholars have confirmed that Islamophobia is based in racism and given that these posters are a clear representation of the irrational white nationalist racism so prevalent in the US in recent years, what with them being a transparent attempt to incite hostility towards a marginalised minority, then this incident would be a hate crime.

All you've done is explain what a hate crime is.

The phrase on the poster gives no context so any inference of 'Islamophobia' is sadly in the minds of those who will take offence at anything and everything.

What if I said "Islam is right about Jesus"?
 
i'm glad i 'wandered' into this thread

saw this NPC term used in another thread and was a bit 'huh?' - understand it's usage a bit more now.

It's accurate. NPCs in games are easy to manipulate and just do what someone has told them to, like these people are IRL.

"Glue your hands to things like a bunch of morons!"
"ok"

but surely you can't truly manipulate an NPC unless you crack the game code and change what has been coded? a game might give you the impression that you are controlling an NPC to do your bidding but that's not really the case is it? NPC's have a finite set of instructions coded to them which they will never deviate away from. you yourself as the player interacting with an NPC have a also finite number of ways to interact with it, predefined and set in stone - so it could maybe be argued you are a mirror of each other - 2 characters in a game with limited ways to interact.

To be able to manipulate an NPC it would have to have a level of 'free will/intelligence' that computer AI just hasn't reached yet. you can't manipulate an NPC in a game to do something it hasn't been coded to do anyway, as i understand it.
using your example, sure if an NPC has the instruction set to be able to glue it's hands to things it will with the correct response/command but if you asked it to hop on one foot while undressing, unless it has been coded to do that it never will no matter what methods you use to try and manipulate it to your will?

While we agree about it describing people that are retarded, why make up a new word when one fits so perfectly already?

so it'll be against the forum rules then to call another forum member an NPC, given that is in effect calling them a retard?
just asking out of curiosity as i'm new to seeing this term.

It's not used for that purpose. It's used to describe someone who has been told what to think and do by someone or something else and is unwilling to think for themselves, hence the term NPC who, in Games terms, has be programmed what to say/do by another.

So not someone "retarded", or mental or stupid or thick etc, just someone unwilling to "think for themselves". I stopped using the term as I realised that, as humorous as I initially found it, in the end it's still just childish name calling which makes me no better than those who call me ever kind of "-ist" for having a different viewpoint.

People do not dislike Islam because of the race of its followers. People dislike Islam because it's backward and not fit for modern society.

Lets be honest, people dislike Islam because far too many of it's followers are killing themselves and taking out a lot of innocent people with them. Christians, Sikh's and Buddhists don't tend to do that in modern times which is why you don't see any "-phobia" around any other religion.

As I understand it, the term "NPC" was in reference to the the MSM/Antifa/BLM, or whoever, only having a small snippet of dialogue on a subject; so weren't able to deviate and enter into a debate on it. I guess the term was deemed applicable due to this limited amount of dialogue, and a tendency to repeat it over and over themselves, or as a group en masse.

I think there are a few clips on YT, showing 'anti Trump' news outlets, all chanting the same chunk of dialogue, almost perfectly in sync - and though it could simply be clever editing; the message is exactly the same with no deviation - like an NPC in Oblivion or something.
