Same here. Someone calls me a "bigot" and I just truck right through. Doesn't even matter anymore trying to appeal to crazy people's sensibilities because they have none, which is why they're crazy.
They freeze up when they realize you don't care at all about their usage of cliche ad-hominem attacks like racist, sexist, transphobe, misogynist, anti-semite or islamophobe against you.
Whenever anyone attacks me with any of these labels, I just respond with "So what? How does that have anything to do with refuting the argument I made."
They end up unable to argue and they storm out.
It is pathetic how so many of my former "friends" actually performed this same routine.
The idea of calling them npcs is so apt.
These idiots are programmed by media and academia to react with ad-hominems and emotional appeals.
I am proud to say that I don't do this even in real life.
I have lost most of my "friends" during these last two years for expressing heterodox views without cucking out.
My view is that I just lost a lot of dead weight and I am better off for it.
