Why do normies browse /r9k/?
>>38307992
There are a couple theories that sound plausible to me.
>1
They play tourist. None of the films, television shows, literature or interactions they're used to are as hard hitting for them as what's posted here. They enjoy the shock factor, they like to see misery from a safe distance.
>2
They think themselves to be one of us on some level or another. Everyone, no matter how normie has troubles and experiences the ups and downs of life. They might think that most of what's on here is exaggeration and that everyone is actually "suffering" in the same ways as them. Or, perhaps being exposed to a more intense level of loneliness and frustration dulls the edge of their own.
Whichever the case, they're here and will only go away when it's less appealing to them.

i just want to be included
It's really, really funny to find a message board where betas actually revel in being beta.
Are criminals normies?
I know a lot of robots define a normie as someone who has a social life and has had sex, but what if they're not "normal" by society's standards?
Would a robot consider someone who works for organized crime or something similar a normie? Like they arent a virgin and they have a gf or kid, but they do illicit activities like kill people
I mean, i always thought a normalfag was just a regular person married to some instagram bitch and paying mortage on a house wageslaving away.
Just hypothetical food for thought. I'm not a criminal btw.
The pictures are pretty funny.

Too much porn and stupid threads on /b/
and other boards I go on can be slow

A similar question was asked a while ago pertaining to the robot status of the extremely mentally ill.
>attractive
>has a gf
>physically fit
>white
But cannot function because of his debilitating mental disorder.

So whats /r9k/'s view on it? Because i really need to know the answer
>>38307992
I actually don't know why im still coming back here. I have a gf, great job, awesome friends, loving family, etc. Things are pretty great for me aside from some mental issues. Im introverted and antisocial but i have no issues with that.
It isnt schadenfreude. It doesnt make me feel any better by reading the shit you guys go through. If anything it's fascinating, but there are better things i can do with my time.
Why am i still here

It differs from person to person, and is a big part of why this board can't manage itself. Sometime ago it became a race to the bottom, where someone always has it worse than someone else and anything less "isn't a big deal". The definition is obscured and therefore nobody can agree on anything.
Because the standard for normie is so fucking low you've turned the "no normie" policy into a joke
>whites can't be robots
>blacks can't be robots
>gays can't be robots
With these standards how do you actually expect anyone to adhere to them?
>>38308309
Criminals are not normies, but they're not robots either. They're just criminals/thugs.

I don't know if I'm a normie or not.
I know I used to be for sure, since I was really popular, had loads of sex, an incredible social life, good looks (not fat), and generally had a pretty good life several years back.
Then depression and alcohol got bad.
Now (as of several years ago) I never leave my bedroom, have an alcohol problem, shower/bath once a week maybe, am perpetually NEET (no job in 2 or 3 years now I think), haven't kissed or slept with a woman in 3 years, have very few friends and only 1 person who bothers calling me (and that's only because he's gay and when I'm drunk and he feeds me coke we end up having gay sex if he begs me long enough), and I sometimes spend up to 48 hours on 4chan at a time.
I still consider parts of my life non-robot like but most parts are pretty fucking pathetic.
>>38308448
Im similar. Happy with life. Honestly, I wish I could meet some r9k people in real life and help them. I dont think most have the crabs in the bucket mentality but the most vocal ones sure do.
Honestly, I see tons of r9k like people in real life and a haircut, shower and better clothes would make them semi normal at least.
>>38308291
That's so fucking sadistic and pathetic. What an awful human being you are
>>38308616
you're just a failed normie lmao
>>38307992
I started lurking in 2009, before this place was a hangout for losers only. I lost my virginity in 2010 with help from /r9k/. The board started changing around 2011, and by 2013 it was essentially what it is today.
Pretty sad considering how much fun I had in the earlier days. I'm not leaving though, this place is home. I'm like that one 90 year old white woman who is still living near downtown in Los Angeles despite it having become a Latino neighborhood 30 years ago.
Because britfeel is here
