I mostly agree, since when is being normal an insult, lol. One can diverge positively, negatively or neutrally from the average on any topic. Should people want to fit in the average, depends on the topic, but is it an insult tho… it’s like the word mainstream in some ways. Sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s not, sometimes it has no value judgement. Regardless, words are words, and if people use it as an insult it will be an insult, and usually it’s best to avoid inflammatory language. Or try and reclaim positive connotations.
