Why has nobody added any mention to the phrase "Orange Man bad"? it's one of the main NPC phrases and nearly as popular as NPC itself. the only place it is mentioned is in the section on billboard defacing, which really doesnt do it justice. 🜚 Yatagarasu 🜚 04:29, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

The NPC meme has been covered by news agencies of varying political stances, including Kotaku[8] (a video games news agency claimed to be "far-left" by for example Media Research Center) and Breitbart News Network (a news agency claimed to be "far-right" by for example The Week).
What does this even mean? First off, Breitbart is de-facto a far right publication, not simply "claimed to be "far right" by for example The Week". I'm also baffled by the labeling of Kotaku, a video games news agency as "far left".
Furthermore, there are a lot of claims made that the meme received media coverage, but no mention of what said coverage was. More specifically, there is no mention of how the NPC meme was used by supporters of Donald Trump to dehumanize his critics. That's a pretty big oversight.

Why do you need to put a pronunciation guide for something so easily and widely pronounced, probably correctly? That is stupid. You know that no one will pronounce it "nipick" or something else. 2A02:14F:0:78A8:0:0:0:1 ( talk) 14:09, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
It makes no sense. Why is there a color in the doomer page? Baudshaw ( talk) 14:58, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
Is the following statement in the article accurate?
"The winning entry, by a Twitter user named "Carpe Donktum", was later retweeted by then-U.S. President Donald Trump on February 2019 before it was removed for copyright infringement."
I checked the referenced source from The Verge at https://www.theverge.com/2019/2/15/18226716/trump-meme-twitter-infowars-winner, which then links to https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1096485376087097344 (a tweet that is unavailable). Wayback Machine stored the snapshot of https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1096485376087097344 at https://web.archive.org/web/20190215190428/https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1096485376087097344, but this screenshot of the video looks _nothing_ like the winning entry video, which is linked in the Verge article as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SoVadiNIhM&t=14s. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2620:0:1000:2310:2609:7D97:2282:847E ( talk) 00:41, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
Far right 😂 If you don't like it, brand it! Ianwakes87 ( talk) 14:19, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
Who is allowed to deem if a term is far right if the term itself isn't strictly political?
Here are multiple sources that describe the term in modern contexts without digression into political stances: [1] [2] [3]
Also, per WP:CONTEXTMATTERS, articles should go by what the term is most known for being. If one article or author interprets a term in a specific regard, it shouldn't directly clash with what a quick Google search would offer. Even when this article pops up in said search results, it's not displaying the results in which anything political is mentioned. Pillow da Don ( talk) 18:23, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
