I gotta say, that NPC meme is a thing of beauty. Tim Pool was right on the money.

Before I clicked that spoiler, I was trying to figure out what "NPC" might be an abbreviation for.

"Not Putin's Cuck" was the best I came up with.

Louis CK (arguable)? Norm MacDonald? Bill Burr? Sam Hyde?

The Hodge Twins are awesome too.

Some kind of leftist means that there's a subgenre of good comedian that doesn't fully align with what's perceived as being liberal, which would also mean that they're some kind of right winger too.

If your balls are dripping with culture war nonsense from either side, you're probably taking yourself too seriously to be funny anyways.

And that snowflake is used by the side that claims to promote individualism, yet if one decides to assert some of that individualism, they are met with derision for not conforming

Snowflake is most commonly associated with the right as a term they use, but I've seen people from all walks use it.

Understanding the context and the person who uses it > auto-dismissal of people who use it cause it's easier.

I know you were using it ironically, but it's still a pretty stupid catchphrase even if it's not exclusively used by one side or the other.
