[QUOTE="Shinrinken, post: 84096, member: 580"] Normie is a term that doesn't have a real definition. It's a slang term that basically the same as tourist/outsider/etc. The best way to define it is someone that might be into something passively often due to it being a fad or their friends are into but not really them. Their often the majority of a group unless it small and unknown. Like back in the 70-80s most people playing D&D weren't normies as it wasn't cool to play them. Now most people might have a 5e book cause it was big due to the lockdown and Crit. Role. However don't known much about it without the book in front of them or most likely now a app. Same with stuff like comics and other fandoms. You have these "lifelong fans" that only know what the Wiki says on said character and groups. Though ask them to pull out their longbox and they start making excuses and act like not having the comics, or watching the old shows doesn't mean anything. They're the same as someone who did watch the old shows, read the old comics, play the old games, etc. [/QUOTE]
