I haven't listened to the TrueAnon episode in question but between this, the TrueAnon twitter profile having ace/aro in its profile as an apparent joke, and the "be normal" mantra, the pod gives me definite social conservative vibes.

Yeah so am I, but I don't think that's the problem with them
Like to take one example, being a vegan in the US makes me "not normal." It's a fringe movement that maybe ~1% of the population follows and that puts me at odds with how the entire rest of my society thinks about the ethics of our relationships with animals. It's weird by any meaningful definition, but it's also a part of myself I consider non-negotiable.
That's not what they mean by "Be Normal".
It's about being able to connect a bit with everyday life and not being terminally online. Not being a QAnon/BlueAnon type person or painful to be around. Both for personal health, and to not seem crazy when trying to talk to people about important stuff lol.
That feels like a very unusual and idiosyncratic definition of "normal" to me. Like you say "not being a BlueAnon person" but statistically there are way more BlueAnon people in the US than there are Marxist-Leninists, and they're given much greater legitimacy by at least a section of the mainstream media. It seems to be that by any reasonable definition it's BlueAnon that are the normal ones.
You are reading way too much into this lol.
It’s just a variation on the meme about touching grass sometimes.
"You assumed 'normal' meant what it almost always means instead of inferring a highly specific and unusual definition of it" = "You're reading too much into this"? What?
I assume that such a vague and useless comment is either an attempt to rile me up or trying to pull the old trick of "winning by acting like you're winning." Not worth engaging with either way.
Hey someone taking the discussion more seriously than you or caring about it more than you isn't a defect. We covered this during our revision of the CoC.
If you don't have anything constructive to contribute other than "people who reply to me are hyper online weirdos" then you should follow your own advice and log off.
If by "the thing" you mean "blocking you and anyone else who says this," you're correct
