Normalcy

Normalcy is perversion. Normality is OK. If a speaker is a pervert, normalcy is ok for the speaker, but not for us, normal people. Being black/red/yellow/brown/white is normal.
Respecting women, old people, children, people with some health conditions is normal. Claiming perverts normal people is a new normalcy, i.e. perversion that is, should be banned in civilised societies.

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.

"Some people are just unable to handle life as it is and eventually come up with their solution to kill themselves"
what other people can handle some people cant

-Some people are born unable to handle normalcy, and eventually aren't able to keep living any longer-

AFK normalcy

The situation where people who have excessive screen time per day will get an eye, whilst AFK moments are "normalized" (i.e. happens more frequently and feels less painful). For example, in K-12 school campuses where smartphones must be collected during school hours, which is akcually meant to create conducive learning environments and not to "condition" students for unavoidable AFK moments in the foreseeable future.
At school, we have to hand in our phones, which makes AFK normalcy a real thing—everyone's so used to stepping away from their screens that it hardly bothers us anymore!

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."

caffeine normalcy

When you have been needing caffeine to function for a while now, hence you forgot the last time you weren't dependant on black coffee or caffeine pills like Tombocantuxin — even though you were once too young to need caffeine
I can't remember the last time I went a whole day without Tombocantuxin caffeine pills; at this point, caffeine normalcy feels like a requirement just to get out of bed!
