I understand that on a website where the mean IQ is about 140, people with an IQ of 100 might seem dumb. But the vast majority of the population will be justifiably offended at using the term “low-IQ” to mean “people of average intelligence.”
Fortunately, as you observe, most of them are not here to be offended.
Don’t disagree. I don’t even recommend he use it here, assuming a suitable alternative is available. In part because it is usually the incorrect word to use for the practice being attempted. For most part “only slightly high IQ people” are the ones being referred to.

But mostly I’m advising him not to use that phrasing anywhere else.
