After the third mention of "normies", I quit. There may be a point hidden in there, but the writing is too poor to decipher it.

- hhmc 4y agoIt's a very deliberately affected style, which (clearly) won't be to everyone's taste -- but I don't think it's fair to call it poor writing.
- johnchristopher 4y agoFair enough. But the usage of "normies" around here is on the rise and it's in poor taste[0]. There might be a parallel to draw with the now defunct usage of "brogrammer" of a few years ago and group identity: one is about in-groups, the other is about out-groups (but both suck). [0] and ambiguous.
- throwaquestion5 4y agoIn this particular case, the word normies is just pointing out more that goblin mode is something an average person can end up. According to the article goblins have the career path track, money is good mindset that most people have. They are just in a burnout. When they rise again out of that state, they will be career focused again like before, a.k.a. 'normie' in this article. The article talks about Gnome mode as the alternative track when moving on from the goblin mode .
