The Issue
Memes are more than entertainment — they’re cultural and ideological forces that rally communities. The NPC meme formed communities that transcend the digital realm.
Plea to Elon Musk and Meme Warriors: Unban Our Heroes!
Dear Elon,
The time has come again to honor your commitment to free speech on X and give us the chance to restore a key part of the internet’s history. The NPC memes, a way to question conformity and challenge the mainstream narrative, were unfairly silenced in the ban wave of 2018. But now, under your leadership, we have the power to bring back the blocked memes!
In 2024, we stand at a crossroads. The fight for free expression is far from over. The NPC memes—the heroes who stood against groupthink—are still locked away, their content silenced. Unban their memes and let their ideas live again on X.
To the Meme Warriors:
We need YOU!
Every meme lord, shitposter, and free speech advocate—this is your call to action. Sign this petition to unban the content of these accounts of our fallen NPC comrades and give future generations the freedom to question, joke, and meme without fear. Together, we can bring back the NPC hidden memes that challenged our overlords, mocked conformity, and kept the internet honest.
Let’s remind the world how far we’ve come, and what we can still achieve. Sign the petition and make your voice heard.
Elon, we believe in your vision for X as the true platform of free speech. Let this be the moment you make history again. Unban the NPC heroes, unban the memes, and let freedom reign.

2018: NPC meme burst onto the internet, torching groupthink and ideological conformity. NPC memes weren’t just jokes — they were memetic warriors, fearlessly challenging the status quo. Now with Elon championing free speech on X, it’s time to unban these meme heroes and let their posted memes be unburdened by what has been.
The NPC meme was more than just an internet joke — it became a symbolic weapon in the fight against big tech censorship and a tool for free speech advocacy. Its simple, gray, expressionless face represented those seen as blindly following mainstream or politically correct viewpoints, embodying a critique of ideological conformity. As the meme spread on Twitter, it expresseed stark contrast between “independent thinkers” and “automatons.” In resisting big tech’s censorship, the NPC meme exemplified the cultural tension between free expression and controlled narratives, showing how humor and satire can challenge humorless authority. It wasn’t just a meme; it was a rallying cry for those who opposed digital gatekeeping and wanted to keep online spaces open for dissent and debate.
Hidden Memes of October 2018
As the NPC memes spread, Twitter’s started banning accounts to control the impact of the NPC meme under the justification of spammy behavior and inauthentic activity.
So many of the most impactful NPC memes from 2018 were lost in the ban wave, hidden away by Twitter’s authoritarian moderation policies. These memes, now relics of a censored internet, represented a bold form of satirical commentary on political discourse. They were a reflection of the broader cultural struggle for free speech and diversity of thought on platforms that have immense power over the public conversation.
Six Years Later: Honoring the NPC Heroes
As the six-year anniversary of the NPC meme war approaches, it’s important to remember the cultural and political significance of this moment. The meme war was a unique phenomenon in that it revealed how internet culture and social media is a tool for expression and it's battleground for mind control. The “grays,” — those who used the NPC meme to challenge mainstream ideas — represent a generation of internet users fighting against what is ideological conformity and censorship.
