I wish there was a word for normie in English that isn’t so derogative. Some other countries have a word for “normie” and it more or less means the same thing, but without the negative connotation. Simply just means people that exist outside of a more niche community; the status quo or your average commoner. Normie, especially on reddit is more synonymous to calling someone an incel.
I guess I do use layman when saying “in layman’s terms” lol. But layman also seems so formal and antique to use. I guess normie just rolls off the tongue better.
Can we stop the gatekeeping and that normie bs, plz ffs
The gatekeeping is especially ironic (or maybe just hypocritical) because they didn’t use this meme template properly, lol. You know, like a “normie”.
