This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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.
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
yeah but i feel like that's the perfect encapsulation of the meaning though, extrapolating it to anything else would ruin it's meaning... Wait now this is just the opposite argument.
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.
Yeah, most people. Aka the "normies".
Normies still have hobbies
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.
