Do people know you use Kiwifarms, don't support the trans agenda, have taboo viewpoints, use the gamerword, etc? I think women especially tend to hide their true beliefs and opinions to maintain social cohesion and out of fear of ostracization or (sometimes violent) pushback. Without revealing actual personal info, how much do you hide you PL?

I really admire women who are brave and open about their unpopular beliefs (while still remaining tactful), but that's not me. I'm too afraid, agreeable, and nonconfrontational in real life. Only my close family know my true beliefs. I think my friends assume I'm maybe slightly more conservative than them, or apolitical, but I don't think they have any idea I vote red. Everyone else assumes I'm a perfect lib/lefty like them. Coworkers and colleagues will talk to me about hating conservatives or transphobes or blah blah. They have no idea. I usually just hit them with an "oh really? That's crazy haha" and try to change the subject. I wish I was more courageous, but I'm not sure if that would cause me more harm than good. I'm thinking maybe I should start being more visibly/vocally Christian because that might get the message across that I don't want to hear their rant about how all people who believe in xyz are Nazis and should die or whatever.
 
I was pretty openly beyond alt-right around 2016. If I could've resurrected Pinochet, I would have. Being called a nazi was only offensive because I wasn't a socialist, but I was friends with plenty who did genuinely self-identify as neo-nazis. Most not even prototype edgy anime troons, but actual skinheads with shelves of deepcut whites-only philosophy. We thought Trump was controlled opposition and too liberal, openly discussed (((them))), 13/50, and troons online where others we knew IRL could see, and I wasn't afraid to crack a few jokes with coworkers or peers who felt the same. No one insulted me or gave me shit for it in person and I never did the same to anyone I thought would. Things were pretty civil.

I very much keep everything to myself now. No KF, no politics, nothing about the troons or fags. I stay out of it in person because I don't know who I'm dealing with, how violent they might be, and I am not interested in the slightest about arguing over it. I change my mind as I get evidence, as I experience things, and I know they do not reciprocate that sentiment when just calling me terf/nazi/cracker bitch or threatening me is easier. I don't placate either, I physically and mentally can't. I am not "neurotypical" enough as the kids say to have normal facial expressions, eye contact, and tone and I know a deficit in any one of these things could set off the wrong person. I have immediately stopped talking and went on my phone or completely left the area once someone I knew was unstable (usually some of gender) shows up. Every faux pas is interrpreted as a potential death threat to them. I've met more stable crackheads at gas stations. People like to joke that one day the 2016 election is gonna end, but things were so much better back then.
 
Family knows that I don't vote because I'm disappointed in democracy, but otherwise I don't talk about politics. My coworkers are mostly young, poor and left-leaning with a few genderspecials in the mix, and I really like my job, so I don't rock the boat. I use non-PC language on occasion and nobody corrects me on it. Only Mr. Varis suffers my deepest, darkest opinions.
 
Anyone who knows me would at least suspect my opinions of things I talk about here.

Anyone paying attention knows exactly how I feel about those things.

I've never been shy about my opinions, because I've long felt there was no reason not to speak up when everyone around me is doing something that makes no sense.
 
I keep it to myself at work, but my colleagues who hang out with me outside work are well aware I'm a mouthy TERFy "old leftist" (IE the kind that still gives a fuck about workers' rights). I have some LWS and Kiwi Farms merch that I wear pretty regularly in public, it's not really been an issue. I'm a sperg so, while I can lie, I'm not very good at it, so it's just easier for me to be honest from the start. Better that than walking on eggshells around fake friends.

ETA: I think as you get older, you give less of a shit. Old ladies are more upfront about their beliefs and are more established in their careers or are retired, SAHM or self-employed so they don't have to pay lip service to a boss, and gradually shrug off the socialisation to be a people-pleaser that we all get as girls.

I remember an incident once, at work, where one of my colleagues referenced Chris-chan. I genuinely choked on my drink in surprise. Nobody else in the room had a clue what they were talking about, but I KNEW.

We actually became quite good friends after that.
 
I was raised on the rule “When we’re outside of the house, we don’t talk about politics or religion.” Especially applies now since my parents are pretty damn Trump leaning in a blue state. And I tend to interact with a lot of people who are blue, and I don’t want to risk them getting pissed off. So, I try my best to avoid political discussions and such irl whenever I can, especially after one of my closest friends and I had a pretty bad argument over BLM in 2020. The only person outside of KF that knows I use it is my brother, who doesn’t really like it but isn’t gonna try and stop me.

That's how I was raised too. Politics, religion, and money were not polite conversation topics. I do appreciate that I have a friend group that operates in that way and we can focus on having fun. Being around people obsessed with politics becomes exhausting, even if we share the same views.
 
I make sure everyone I choose to associate with knows how I feel, and in turn that I know how they feel, on every relevant issue. If you are honest to yourself it's easy to be honest to others. If you're lying about who you are to someone how can you trust them? They don't know who you are and will feel betrayed once they find out your opinions don't align. Keep quiet in situations where it serves you better like actually at work, but don't hide who you are out of fear. If men aren't ashamed to wear little girl dresses and piss in our bathrooms why should we be ashamed to say it's wrong?
 
I have spent most of my life having jackasses try to put words in my mouth to confirm whatever political beliefs they imagine I have. Same when I lived in the Bible Belt and same when I lived in a progressive area. To those I know well, I tell them my political affiliation is None of the Above it gives them a clue I have no interest in talking point du jour.
 
I don’t really keep social circles that force me to lie too much, so some immediate family know I’m full TTD and slightly racist, and most friends know I’m a terf.

The exception is work, where I act like an agreeable normie.
 
I think the only real KF tier opinion I really hold is that "I hate trans idealogy" but even then that doesn't matter since 90% of the people I have to deal with are older than 35. And even if I have to deal with troons, I don't do it for long since I now just see them at gas stations and such.

I guess technically I have a sibling who's pro-trans, and he knows what I think about it but he hasn't cared enough to do anything about it.

It's kinda true that trans people only really have a monopoly over the internet.
 
I'm pretty open with my immediate family. They even know I visit places like this because I tell them about various fucked up stuff and people on the Internet because it amuses them. One time I taught them what "sheboon" meant and they thought it was hilarious and now use it sometimes in conversations.

I have a couple of friends I'm also open with but outside of that I hide my powerlevel.
 
Ms Late Night Muffin is a well known TERF, and has been publicly fighting this horror for a long time. She is also open about her other unpopular views. In a different life she would have been Jack Reacher. I'm very proud of her courage.
 
I have a pretty strict policy of not discussing politics seriously* after I ended up in a near-shouting match with a 400lb Wokeapotomous in a college class. I don't remember what it was about, but it was probably very dumb and my teacher ended up getting very upset at me for NOT sharing my opinions in class after that. WTF lady, I’m 1/3rd the size of that fucking Blubbergolem and if she got mad enough at me she could kill me by sitting on me, you want me to risk my life in this class?

But seriously, I’m a pretty reserved person IRL, don’t talk politics, and hate people who make it their personality. I do have an overtly alt fashion sense so a lot of people have made the assumption that I was left-leaning or some flavor of LGBT, but since I bring up neither that tends to dissuade people of that idea. I sometimes assure people I’m not easily offended and describe myself as hanging out in the “armpit of the internet” but don’t elaborate. In the past I’ve introduced Chris-Chan to a lot of people and mentioned the Farms back when it was still the CWCki forums. I think that I've established myself less as "the person with unpopular opinions" and more of "the chick that has an encyclopedic knowledge of weird shit"

* I say "seriously" because without too much PL I have very openly endorsed the candidacy of Vermin Supreme in real life, have professional ties to him, and at one point considered hosting a mini-rally for him at my college. This plan fell apart because I couldn’t work out the logistics of renting a pony.
 
My husband and very close friends know I have an account on here and that my beliefs skew more TERF-leaning, everyone else I keep my beliefs hidden from. My husband’s family knows I’m fairly conservative in my views and that’s because they are too, but they’re very old fashioned so I’d never reveal to them that I’m on KiwiFarms.
 
I'm a pretty staunch economic leftist, but very pro free speech.
I am fairly terfy, anti ID Politics, and also a faggot-sayer and retard-sayer because lol.

I own a home and have maintained full time employment in some fairly blue-collar industries.
My husband husband drives semis, owns a big truck, and likes to grill.

People tend to assume I'm Republican leaning based on those very superficial things. Even though I am very much not across the board on the big talking points.
I choose to let people believe that I'm whatever they think I am. Apparently having your natural hair color and not dressing like a retard, in lieu of the other stuff, puts me in a box

It is VERY fun (when it doesn't matter) to power level some of my actual beliefs in conversation because it breaks people's brains.

I don't tell anyone I use this website.
