normalcy bias

The state of being in denial about super bad shit that is happening. Being geared toward everything being awesome today and tomorrow, just like it was yesterday (except that some douche bag did some holocaustic shit).
Dude A: Starting tomorrow, we can all get incarcerated forever without any warrants or trials 'cuz the politicians just voted for that, and Obama said so!

Dude B: No way, dude!! I'm going to ride my skateboard, because I live in a bubble and want it to stay that way. Normalcy bias sure beats how depressing the truth is!

unable to handle normalcy

Not able to handle normalcy is complicated. What others dont think of as such a big deal if something goes wrong, the people unable to handle normalcy think of it as a big deal and cant handle it. It closely related to emo but isnt because emos behave that way, people unable to handle normalcy were born not capapable of handling life as good as others can.

Appeal to normalcy

A weak evasion of the actual topic. The question isn't whether it normal for a 25 year old girl to sleep with 100 guys. It's whether or not it's ethical. And you either know that and are being avoidant because you're a soy-ass shit-lib who LITERALLY ISN'T ALLOWED to tell women what they ought or ought not do OR... OR... You're dumb as dog-shit. It's one or the other.
Hym "Appeal to normalcy is not an argument I would ever make there. Because I'm not a pussy social-centrist. Is it fine for a woman to fuck 100 dudes? Yes. Even better if she's discreet and takes cash. Why are you such a sissy? And where is your wife? Ex-wife. Where's you ex-wife? I saw her pick up a spider once and it was both gross and adorable."
