It's so obnoxiously narcissistic. "Oh, I am so above the unwashed normal people. I am not stupid, like a commoner. I'm the special superior chosen one. The main character. Me me me!"

No you aren't, nerd. You're an egotistical asshole.

    I often use 'normie' as a stand-in for either 'neurotypical' or 'person who doesn't follow politics obsessively,' both of which I think are accurate and both of which distinguish them from me. I've always thought NPC was a weird thing to call people; it seems like people who use it are telling on themselves.

      usually normie == neurotypical for me too, sometimes it means cishet
