> this is a blatant try to normalize.

This doesn't mean anything. You have no ability to "normalize" anything. It's not an action that somebody can take.

> it's not a new normal until everybody goes quiet

Real let me speak to your manager energy. Nobody is waiting for you to go quiet to get on with things.

You can if you convince everyone to stop making a fuss because it's the new normal. The comment literally said "it's the new normal".

Normalisation isn't something that one person by themselves can achieve. It only happens when public opinion is swayed. How is it swayed? By people deliberately trying to sway it, like GP here.

If you are instead arguing that normalisation is not really a thing at all: What do you call the change in attitudes to people who are left-handed, disabled, or homosexual?
