    Really? I just interpreted the use of normie here as “layperson” or “average user” and thought it was completely harmless.

      Yes, it means layperson, but with derogatory cense. It is like using the n-word to describe black people (though not as extreme). If you mean average user, just say average user, unless you really mean to use derogatory term, that is.
