    Really? I just interpreted the use of normie here as “layperson” or “average user” and thought it was completely harmless.

          That’s neither here nor there and sidesteps the point. Also, depending on how you define normies and nerds, it’s a bit silly. You can’t imagine a random person being worked up by being called names online. I mean, okay, if you say so.

      Yes, it means layperson, but with derogatory cense. It is like using the n-word to describe black people (though not as extreme). If you mean average user, just say average user, unless you really mean to use derogatory term, that is.
