What is ふつ here?


In the following sentence:

> ふつ~怒られるんじゃないかぁ~?

For context, the speaker has been beaten and is responding to the victory
interview of the one who defeated him, which contains a lot of heartwarming
stuff like how he's just happy he could keep a promise he made to his father.
The speaker is accompanied by at least one other person (who also lost), but
probably by more.

[EDIT: to better explain the context, because the above is faulty.

  * C defeats A and B.
  * C is interviewed by D.
  * A (and B) watch the interview.
  * A comments (to B?) on what C says in the interview.]

What is ふつ? The one guess I have at present that sort of makes sense is the
affectionate meaning of 仏, so that it would be "How adorable~Ah, we can't
possibly be mad at this, right~?" But as far as I understand that would
require the ほとけ reading.

Sort of a backup guess is that it's short for ふつふつ, but if so I don't know how
to apply that.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Reading through the comments, I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused. I'm
very grateful for all the help I've been given and I hope you all have a nice
day.




The word you're seeing is ふつ～, which is 普通【ふつう】 ("normally", "usually")
written in a slangy/sloppy way. This `～` is not a tilde but a [wave
dash](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_punctuation#Wave_dash), which is
used in place of a standard long vowel marker (ー). Notice the width of the
character. In vertical writing it's rotated 90 degrees. You can write like
おか～さん instead of おかあさん, そ～です instead of そうです, and so on (never do this in
formal settings.) 仏 has nothing to do with this sentence.

> A: ふつ～怒られるんじゃないかぁ～  
>  A: Normally, I guess he (the interviewee, C) would be scolded (if he says
> such a thing)?

Here's the relevant explanation from Wikipedia:

> ## Japanese punctuation
>
> ### [Wave
> Dash](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_punctuation#Wave_dash)
>
> The wave dash 〜 (波ダッシュ nami dasshu, wave dash) resembles a lengthened tilde
> (FULLWIDTH TILDE), which does not exist in JIS X 0208.
>
> Uses in Japanese include:
>
>   * To indicate a long or drawn-out vowel (ですよね〜 or あ〜〜〜), usually for comic
> or cute effect
