I appreciate you calling out the use of the term “normie”. Communities that frequently use such terms always end up with an unhealthy “us vs them” mentality.
Like I’m not surprised people don’t react well to someone bringing up privacy issues if said person starts the conversation with the mentality of “how do I enlighten this normie?”
Using the term “normies” paints you as having a superiority complex, which isn’t the best look.

Being a normie isn’t the best look either.
Misanthropy in current times is an indicator of a functioning brain.
Anyone that says it’s all great is delusional or trying to exploit a market inefficiency.
There’s quite a leap from “absolutely everything is completely fine” to “I hate all humans”. Both are idiotic sentiments.
Really? I just interpreted the use of normie here as “layperson” or “average user” and thought it was completely harmless.
Have someone refer to you as a normie and lmk if it feels neutral or derogatory.
I can’t imagine normies getting worked up over what some internet nerd calls them
You’re not wrong. That said sometimes it can be self-deprecating.
In any case, one substitute is “non-nerds”, but I’m sure someone can think of a term that fits even better in the meme.
