    I thought anon was the normie? The average person doesnt upgrade their PC every two years. The average person buys a PC and replaced it when nothing works anymore. Anon is the normie, they are the enthusiasts. Anon is not hanging with a group of people with matching ideologies.

      Let’s just drop the word “normie” altogether.

      The word is incredibly vague and fails to reflect the diversity of viewpoints and opinions. Everyone has their own perception of what is most common, so the definition varies wildly.

        The word is incredibly vague

        isnt that, the point?

        It’s supposed to refer to “normal” people. an incredibly broad and vague selection of people, who are, rather indistinct.

          Kind of, but in doing so it loses any significant meaning. Everyone interprets it as they see fit

            yeah but i feel like that’s the perfect encapsulation of the meaning though, extrapolating it to anything else would ruin it’s meaning… Wait now this is just the opposite argument.
