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
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.
