Viral “NPC” TikTok creator, Pinkydoll, is being called out for allegedly lying about her age online

Pinkydoll, the inventor of the viral “NPC” TikTok, is being accused up for allegedly misrepresenting about her age online.

The content author is currently 19 years old, but she previously stated her birthday was April 22, 1996, making her 27.

Pinkydoll, a TikTok non-playable character (NPC), has been chastised online for reportedly lying about her age on the social media platform. The TikTok celebrity, who has 463K followers on the platform, presently claims to be 19 years old, but has previously claimed that her birthday is April 22, 1996, making her 27.

A non-playable character (NPC) is a character in the game world who has a set of preprogrammed actions that the player cannot alter or control. Pinkydoll’s live TikTok streaming draw thousands of viewers who send her “gifts” like roses, ice cream cones, cowboy caps, and other emoticons.


The TikTok movement has so far avoided major controversy, but it may reflect a rising need for largely mindless material. The artists’ costume as NPCs is nearly AI-like, and watching the videos feels like a tangible departure from reality. PinkyDoll, on the other hand, told Vice that she doesn’t care what other people think. TikTok is crazy over her.

 

The TikToker responds to these gifts in the same way a real NPC would with predetermined, repetitive answers. As per The NY Times, if anyone sends her an ice cream cone, she reacts with a slurping voice and adds “mmmm, ice cream so good,” in a “s*xy baby” voice.

After the news of Pinkydoll allegedly lying about her age went viral, Twitterati was shocked and furious. Several users called her out for doing something this “weird” and “catering to p*dophiles” online who look for younger girls. Others said she did it for the money and that the “pervs” would like her better if she was younger.


TikTok creators are embracing a peculiar new live genre in which they stream themselves acting like non-player video game characters.

Viewers of such streams become the puppeteers of real-life NPCs, which in the gaming world are typically bystanders in stories programmed to speak only from predetermined selections of dialogue options. Creators can earn “tips” from viewers, who are able to buy virtual coins to spend on cartoon gifts that can be converted into real money. During NPC streams, gifts activate specific phrases or actions — performed with the same automated-sounding tones and motions every time.

The streaming genre got widespread attention when creator Pinkydoll went viral for one of her repeated phrases, “ice cream so good,” which she says every time viewers gift her virtual ice cream cones. Pinkydoll, whose 553,000 TikTok followers include rapper Timbaland, has stirred so much confusion and intrigue that she earned her own entry in the database Know Your Meme.

“I realized being an NPC streamer is kind of the same as a traditional streamer, where usually when somebody donates or subscribes, they say thank you,” Chen said. “But as an NPC streamer, the streamer will make a reaction to the gift as their way of saying thank you.”


TikTokers Natuecoco and Satoyu727, both of whom initially found success adopting anime character personas in their videos, were some of the earliest to pivot to NPC streaming. During their streams, they perform mannerisms and voice effects often seen and heard in anime-style video games.

And it turns out PinkyDoll’s streams, and those of other NPC performing creators, have paid off, thanks to a TikTok Live feature that allows users to pass on “gifts” that turn into monetary rewards.

TikTok users can send these little virtual coins — which come in various forms including dinosaurs, ice cream cones, and roses – to creators while watching livestreams, and they can be redeemed for payment. One TikTok coin is worth around $0.01. PinkyDoll reportedly makes anything from $2,000 to 3,000 per stream, and counts Timbaland as one of her biggest supporters.
