page7 is why "normie" is actually the more faithful translation than "normalfag". reaju is not just a 2ch or even an online term, but a general otaku term. normalfag is too 4chan specific and, to be frank, too derogatory to mean the same thing. (because being a "reaju", like being a normie, can also be seen as a goal to pursue) that page literally wouldn't make sense if she said "the word normalfag has become so mainstream that only normalfags use it now", like who even says that *on the internet* outside of 4chan? it wouldn't have made sense
