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

These are PC gamers, their hobby revolves around computers.

It’s similar to how car enthusiasts might give you shit for driving a ten year old Camry, whereas most people won’t care.

    The point that the thread OP is trying to make that a “normie” is someone who is not considered as passionate about a subject as, say, an enthusiast. So naturally, they will not be as prone to spend money and replace their gear very often.
