I don't think it would be controversial had you not condescendingly referred to "normies".

Ah. Thanks. Doesn't sound off to my ears but that makes sense. I'm going to try and soften that while I can. Thanks for taking the moment to answer.

FWIW, Wiktionary notes it as "usually derogatory", and to my ears it makes it sound like you are saying you are inherently better than them (which I'm sure is not your intention). A word best avoided in my opinion.
