So, anyways, I don’t know if you guys know this or not, but I’m a normie in every sense of the word, except that I’m not white. However, aside from a few small hiccups (no, I will not expand upon this) I feel like I mostly identify as a normie.

However, I recently discovered that I can’t really reconcile my identity as a danganronpa fan and my identity as a normie— the dissidence is just too strong, and I’m afraid I’ll go insane before I find any answers as to who I am.

So, what do you guys think? Should I continue being a normie and be satisfied knowing that I’m completed sane, normal, and well-adjusted? Or should I embrace my status as a danganronpa fan and set loose my last shred of sanity embrace the inherent quirkiness and diversity of the human populace? Or should I pursue some weird compromise (I’m a communocentrist) between the two?

Signed, a concerned normie.

    Just enjoy what you like. Don’t worry about being a normie or not a normie. Ofc you’re asking for validation on a VERY specific corner of the internet, so you’re probably a huge nerd and there is no sense in worrying about it haha.

    Seriously, how are you expecting to be a normie while probably laughing your ass off every time you see or hear the word ‘‘butter’’, hear the words such as: punishment, despair, hope, numbers 16 and 11037, see color pink etc? Like, I’m dead serious, when you get into this insanity, you cannot function properly, fans are completley nuts and I speak from experience, including myself. There is a post here about some guys who planned to take over the entire school overnight after staff left. My school wasn’t any better at the time of DR’s peak, Monokuma, Junko and Monaca of all characters were my favorite ‘literally me fr fr’ characters in 5th grade already, not to mention other shit we did.

    I might sound crazy but I’m just warning you, NOTHING compares to this fanbase, not even FnaF, Dragon Ball or whichever fanbase is considered the worst. Of course you can identify as a normie if you want to, but no one can’t possibly be normal if he/she’s gets into this! Trust me. But on the other hand, just embrace it!

    Yes. In fact, nobody knows what my power level is.

    I’ve drunk deep from the well of knowledge. I’ve learned of the sacred numbers. I’ve seen the holy trinity reformulated again and again. I’ve seen the fall and rebirth of many creators. And all that remain are wonderful memories of my journey.

    What is a normie in terms of identity, anyway? This is the first time I’ve seen someone identifying as one.
