Sure but the difference is NPCs do not have the capacity for thought. These people have the biological capacity yet choose not to use it. That's a huge difference. Most of these idiots if they had been raised properly would be just as varied and dynamic as you or me.
They're not fundamentally different than us, they're just mentally stunted by their upbringing. We shouldn't think of them as a lesser class of human beings, because we all know where that train of thought takes us.
You may be overthinking the idea. Referring to someone as an NPC is just a shorthand to describe people who fit into the crowds, who don't make real impressions on you, who really don't have anything to contribute to your life, but who likely contribute a whole lot to the people in their lives.
You're an NPC to almost everyone, just as everyone is an NPC to almost everyone else.
You can't always drill down into people's personalities to give them real unique identities in your mind.
It's like walking into a crowd during a concert. Everyone else is an NPC to you except the couple people you went with.
Yeah and I'm saying that's a dangerous mental habit to fall into. Keep in mind that all people are people, and at least have the capacity for rich, varied, interesting lives and thoughts and emotions. You don't have to care about them, but keep it in mind.
