NORP
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
| This article needs moar normal shit. You can help by adding moar normal shit. |
NORP (sometimes known on the internet as normalfags, or neurotypicals if you're autistic) is an epithet from the police acronym for Normal Ordinary Responsible Person (aka "Joe Q. Public") and the antithesis of Anonymous.
They are the exact opposite of virgins, nerds, geeks, aspies, neckbeards and other internet dwelling rejects. These people are fairly normal; they are your everyday joe shmoe who lives IRL has a girl/boy friend, car and a job.
NORPs go to work, have a circle of friends in the real world, go to events outside their homes, have adequate conversational skills and have very little to no mental disabilities that would otherwise drive them to go on the internet. Despite appearing to have an otherwise mundane life not filled with memes and internet in-jokes, NORPs and normalfags are pros at getting laid, compared to the typical netizen. Indeed, most of these people lost their virginity sometime in their teens and occasionally have playful fun with casual sex partners in their free time.

What Is NORP?
NORPs and normalfags are a diverse group. They are that generic looking guy who walked passed you on the street, the receptionist in a corporate building, that guy who fixed the air conditioner. They range from young to old and rich to poor.
Younger NORPs and normalfags spend their time trying to get laid, partying, going to concerts, getting laid, going on to facebook, and getting shit faced and high. The younger generation is everything many anons want to be but just can't attain. They are also what many older NORPs want to be as well.
The older NORPs are church-going, law biding Red State citizen who have a spouse and two-point-five kids (two boys and a girl), a 9-5 job, a small house in the suburbs with a neatly tended garden, and who builds replicas of 18th Century sailing ships out of toothpicks in his basement. They also likes all-you-can-eat "Surf & Turf" night at TGIFridays and watches Monday Night Football, Fox News and Soap Operas religiously.
NORPs, Normalfags and The Internet
NORPs/Normalfags are casual internet users. They usually only use it to go to google, look at jewtube videos or check their facebook. They visit their favorite social networking site when they're at work, look at the latest popular internet video that everyone is watching, check their email to connect with friends and use Ebay to buy stupid shit. Many normalfags haven't heard of some of the shadier sides of the internet. For normalfags the internet just isn't serious business...(the exceptions being the many hours spent laughing at "lolcats" on I Can Has Cheezburger and WebMD, where they feed their hypochondria prior to visiting their doctor and annoying the fuck out of him with their own diagnoses)
...until -that is- it makes them buy a dog.
If a NORP should happen upon the likes of ED or /b/, they would not only shit bricks but prolly call the Party Van (which they call "the authorities"). Many of these people (including the older ones) are shocked and appalled by such Internets phenomena like the Megan Meier affair and get all atwitter when they see reports about HACKERS ON STEROIDS and cyber bullying on local TV news reports that 'expose' the shenanigans of anon.
The Normalfag Invasion
| — SHiNfinity Is My Taigaberryking expert: THE LIQUID BOOGIE INFILTRATOR |
Despite that the internet has been the home of societies' rejects since its inception, normalfags have been slowly seeping into it. Overtime as more normalfags become aware of internet communities, they slowly congregate there, forcing the internet dwellers to form newer more secluded locations to discuss why women are bitches and whores.
4chan, after years of being a weeaboo and pedo hotspot has become extremely popular due to unforeseen events. Normalfags, wanting to see what all the buzz is about, have begun visiting 4chan and some had journeyed into the board /r9k/. /r9k/ is 4chans de facto board for discussing the finer points of life such as, why are we such losers? Why can't I get a girlfriend/get laid? And the old classic women are WHORES WHORES WHORES!!! When the normalfags began arriving they went on some threads and started to give advice on how to improve the robots current social situation. The oldfag robots got butt-hurt that someone else, more popular and happier was giving them advice on how to talk to girls, which of course threatened their fragile ego. So the Oldfag robots lashed out at the normalfag newcomers and played victim. /r9k/ was full of threads about how to be good around people and be more sociable whilst other threads are created to complain about the normalfags on the board, ruining the community. Due to irreconcilable philosophical differences between the oldfag robots and normalfags, tensions rose to the point of an internet civil war. That is until moot created /adv/. r9k was previously known as an advice board. Once /adv/ was created, the advice giving normalfags went there. Conditions have improved dramatically since, though given the sheer amount of BAAAAWWWWWWWW in /adv/ at nearly all times, the residents have taken to calling themselves the s/adv/irgins. A most appropriate label, truly.
