A worldview that treats official, hegemonic, and consensus accounts of history, science, and events as identical to reality itself. It is the inverse of conspiracism: where conspiracism sees hidden plots everywhere, officionormativism sees nothing but verified truth in institutional narratives. The officionormativist assumes that whatever is taught in mainstream textbooks, endorsed by scientific consensus, or repeated by government and academic authorities must be the complete and unvarnished truth—any questioning of these accounts is automatically dismissed as conspiracy thinking. While healthy trust in institutions is reasonable, officionormativism becomes a bias when it treats consensus as infallible and dismisses legitimate critique, dissent, or minority perspectives as inherently irrational.
