I didn’t down-vote and I think planecrash is amazing. But FYI referring to other humans as NPCs, even if you elaborate and make it clear what you mean, leaves a very bad taste in my mouth. If you were a random person I didn’t know anything about, and this was the first thing I read from you*, I’d think you were a bad person and I’d want nothing to do with you.
Not judging you, just informing you about my intuitive immediate reaction to your choice of words. Plausible other people who did downvote felt similar.
(Yep, it was me ranting about experiencing someone betraying my trust in a fairly sad way, who I really didn’t expect to do that, and who was very non-smart/weirdly scripted about doing it, and it was very surprising until I learned that they’ve not read planecrash. I normally don’t go around viewing anyone this way; and I dislike it when (very rarely! i can’t recall any other situations like that!) I do feel this way about someone.)
