Based on just browsing social media, this would be more accurate if it were stated as a spectrum and the two extremes hate each other. That would explain the posts in the recent past of people complaining about “normies” (unironically) joining Lemmy.
I just don’t think people going out on the weekend are sitting around seething over “gamers” or vice versa. The normie thing is just another variation of the same theme: people like to think they are the in-group who “get it” and that most people around them are like them until someone catches their attention for not conforming to whatever standard they have internalized. They assume everyone else is an interloper based on how they envision other users, going off of a “vibe” if you will.
Yeah, except I’ve observed that theme. So it does happen. I’m confused. If you claim to admit it happens, why then state you don’t believe it happens? I don’t even follow what you’re saying anymore.
I hope I don’t have to explain that I don’t think it literally never happens. I’m not sure where you got that impression. I’m saying it’s not some major thing that happens and is not worth even paying attention to.
It’s worth paying attention to if it happens to you personally though. Sure it might not be across the country, but most teenagers don’t get to venture outside the town they grow up in, so if it’s like that, it makes up most of their world. So yeah, that it happens is enough for some people as that would constitute their entire teenage life. I don’t understand why this is difficult to grasp. I literally opened and said it’s a spectrum and the people do exist at either end and that obviously implies it’s not everywhere. So half of what you said isn’t even treading new ground or refuting anything.
It’s not major if it doesn’t happen to you. It is major if it does. This is super simple even a child should understand it.
When I’ve seen complaints about “normies” using Lemmy, it has more to do with people who are enlightened centrists / freeze peach warriors bringing their diseased takes here from reddit
I don’t think it has anything to do with which specific hobbies people enjoy, especially since we can’t even see that through the screen. I don’t know anyone who really cares if you enjoy clubs, gaming, or both.

Fair point
