The Angry NPC Wojak is a variation of the original NPC Wojak, a grey, expressionless character representing individuals who supposedly lack independent thought and follow a pre-programmed social script. While the standard NPC remains stoic and emotionless, the Angry version features the character with furrowed brows or a shouting expression, typically triggered by a logic-based argument or an opinion that contradicts their worldview. Emerging around 2018 on platforms like 4chan and Reddit, the meme is frequently used in political and social commentary to mock the perceived hive-mind mentality of internet users who react with hostility when their 'programming' is challenged.
