Main Character Syndrome is a more malicious and fucked up state of mind than anything so-called "NPCs" are accused to being.

I always found "Simulation Theory" to be a lazy Reddit version of Deism to begin with, but especially these days it's dire just how often undesirables are perceptibly stripped of personhood with that same belief system. It doesn't pass as a joke for me when too many rich creeps like sermonize about it on the regular and their sycophantic followers feel more like Main Characters by nodding along.
