That's the point I was trying to make. Someone was getting downvoted for saying people shouldn't use that term. imho using the term 'normie' and downvoting opinions you disagree with are both rude. And no one in this thread has explained why I should think I'm wrong. If we've gone too far from the original intent, I'll say goodbye. permalink fedilink source parent [β] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) I find it a very confusing term aswell because what does it even define? I always arrive on it being a synonymous to neurotypical outside the autistic context. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] smeg@feddit.uk 1 point 2 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [β] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago Youβre not wrong. That said sometimes it can be self-deprecating. In any case, one substitute is βnon-nerdsβ, but Iβm sure someone can think of a term that fits even better in the meme. permalink fedilink source parent [β] squid_slime@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago In the world of anime I am a normie and that's fine permalink fedilink source parent [β] rottingleaf@lemmy.zip 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) It implies them having that complex, thinking they know better than, as another comment pointed out, some nerds. You know, that kind of people thinking their degree of social anthropology or whatever makes them smarter than you in every area. Because whatever they are doing is important and whatever you are doing is toys for nerds. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] tory@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) I can imagine a social butterfly looking down on nerds. Although I gotta level with you: that sounds like something that would primarily occur in high school to me. Maybe you're grown and still dealing with that, but either way: using the term normies is not going to help at all, I assure you. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] rottingleaf@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 years ago* Maybe youβre grown and still dealing with that, but either way: using the term normies is not going to help at all, I assure you. This seems common sense to you, right? Well, I, being almost 28, am just starting to realize that you should carefully measure both respect and disrespect, and there may be too little or too much of both. Maybe not "social butterfly", I'm just thinking of all the people thinking they now know what is serious in life. A surprising amount don't have complex hobbies or even deep cultural familiarity with their own profession. And if that profession is more about talking to people than about conceptualization (many typical office jobs), or maybe it is descriptive, not creative (like many liberal arts degrees), they are going to be dismissive of people who actually make things. Watching and doing is different, and people watching often think too much of their ability to do stuff, just like with sports or music or cars or warfare or porn. EDIT: The point was that sometimes it's better to be honest and use such means to inform people that they don't know what they are talking about. permalink fedilink source parent [+] riodoro1@lemmy.world -9 points 2 years ago (2 children) Being a normie isnβt the best look either. Misanthropy in current times is an indicator of a functioning brain. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago I've written software you use every day. Apache, NGinx, and a bunch of CNCF projects. I'm just as good as you at tech, likely better, and have a full understanding. I didn't give a crap. Opinions like yours are the essence of fedora anti culture that paints a picture of the asshole IT guy. permalink fedilink source parent [β] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 child) Anyone that says it's all great is delusional or trying to exploit a market inefficiency. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] ahornsirup@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) There's quite a leap from "absolutely everything is completely fine" to "I hate all humans".

[β] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) I find it a very confusing term aswell because what does it even define?

[β] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago Youβre not wrong. That said sometimes it can be self-deprecating. In any case, one substitute is βnon-nerdsβ, but Iβm sure someone can think of a term that fits even better in the meme. permalink fedilink source parent

[β] rottingleaf@lemmy.zip 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) It implies them having that complex, thinking they know better than, as another comment pointed out, some nerds. You know, that kind of people thinking their degree of social anthropology or whatever makes them smarter than you in every area. Because whatever they are doing is important and whatever you are doing is toys for nerds. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] tory@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) I can imagine a social butterfly looking down on nerds. Although I gotta level with you: that sounds like something that would primarily occur in high school to me. Maybe you're grown and still dealing with that, but either way: using the term normies is not going to help at all, I assure you. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] rottingleaf@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 years ago* Maybe youβre grown and still dealing with that, but either way: using the term normies is not going to help at all, I assure you. This seems common sense to you, right? Well, I, being almost 28, am just starting to realize that you should carefully measure both respect and disrespect, and there may be too little or too much of both. Maybe not "social butterfly", I'm just thinking of all the people thinking they now know what is serious in life. A surprising amount don't have complex hobbies or even deep cultural familiarity with their own profession. And if that profession is more about talking to people than about conceptualization (many typical office jobs), or maybe it is descriptive, not creative (like many liberal arts degrees), they are going to be dismissive of people who actually make things. Watching and doing is different, and people watching often think too much of their ability to do stuff, just like with sports or music or cars or warfare or porn. EDIT: The point was that sometimes it's better to be honest and use such means to inform people that they don't know what they are talking about. permalink fedilink source parent
