How much do you hide your powerlevel in real life?

[Arbiter]

And I think some of the more shy women on here would be surprised how many other women will agree with you.

This is what gives me hope, but I'm scared to risk blowing up my career over it.

Strongly agree, women aren't going to potentially offend others for a lot of reasons but more will privately agree with you. I think a lot of women cause themselves problems with this. Why let the default be an insane view that most people are just playing along with?

Unfortunately, in my experience, it's the men that are the ones who get actually confrontational and blow up over these things, and that scares women like me. I've had a male coworker who had a meltdown and went to HR after other (female) coworkers voiced that they didn't feel comfortable with the racially-charged (white people bad) material in an optional paper discussion club. Another two board members (both men) got so heated over politics and couldn't put their differences aside that it disrupted meetings. One threatened to sue the other for racial discrimination, and the other quit and started his own organization. And they STILL act snarky and spiteful towards each other, asking about each other and putting each other down whenever they talk to me. It's been years. And one of the aforementioned coworkers recently corrected me for "misgendering" someone else (who wasn't even there). I've never been corrected by any of my many female "nonbinary" coworkers before, and I probably have referred to them as "she."

You should always be the gray man

This applies to everything, not only internet stuff. Never draw attention to yourself, it is just not worth it. As for people knowing about me browsing KF... It's not a know site in my country. There must be like 15 people here with the same nationality as me, but they're all based

Rural southern town. It would be weird if I didn’t talk about hating niggers, trannies, and lincolnites. I’m not aware of anyone else who knows about lolcows but that’s okay. It won’t stop me from IRL Patposting.

Ah yes, the windbag feminist man. Disrespect a mudslime or tranny(ism), and watch all their proclaimed feminism go right out of the window, and them go nuclear and become almost as condescending as a troon, and you just know this is a part of their power play and being compliant with the Current thing.
''*She* is a *madam*, why don't you understand that, young lady?''
Our local variant is looks-wise always somewhere between an unremarkable Garry's mod guy and a Yes Chad, is dead serious about everything and has no sense of humor.Has a bunch of tattoos, among which could (once) be a swastika from the late 90's. Their favourite quote is: ''Only stupid people never change their minds.'' when someone reminds them their past, but that doesn't justify their U-turn every time the tide turns.
At this point I am willing to respect more an actual unwashed lefty sperg who really believes everything that comes out of their speaking hole and is going to just comically whine and sperg more, if confronted.

My husband sees me typing on this forum (he either doesn't know what KF is or doesn't care), otherwise nobody I know offline has any idea about my use of this forum. Back in my home country, nobody would care. Where I am currently, it would be an issue if I didn't hide my PL. I tend to keep quiet about my views that contradict "the current thing (tm)" or pretend I had no idea about social or political issue xyz.. being an ESL chink comes in handy, since it's easy to feign ignorance.

 

[Boss Hawg]

It's crazy and I lowky hate men.

 

[Flaming_Barghast]

Depends on who I talk to. I'm one of those eccentric types that, even if I don't tell you something I believe, whatever someone said about me one way or another, people would shrug, go "sounds about right" and move on. I'm too spazzy for most people to take seriously. People only get nervous if I act serious.

Spoiler

if you need an idea of what kind of oddball I am, I've exhausted 2 year old huskies before, and have a giant 10 foot gore wendigo deer statue thing on my porch I made forever ago for college. I painted its' eyes like a peoples!

I've also unironically said to a black guy when visiting chicago that he should pull his pants up so he doesn't look like a nigger.
No, I'm not sure how I'm alive either

 

[gigantic]

I kind of hide it. Most people don't ask and I don't offer. The one time someone did directly ask my opinion on something serious I declined to answer.

Kind of surprised I don't run into more issues, given the area I live in and some of the people I work with. I think I might be intimidating to broach these topics with. If so, I'm quite happy about that. I'd still like to be better at keeping my big mouth shut.

 

[Premium Gonzo]

Only one person i worked with knows i use KF. I do think he's on here to but he'll never admit it. Apart from my partner and his mate who is definitely on here and lurking the fuentes thread no one knows what KF is or if they do i just play dumb.

To the outside i'm boring slightly odd duck and that's the way i like it.

 

[tygressofaera]

I power leveled before I joined, when I first peaked on trannies and got a little too vocal questioning them. I had a lot of lesbian/bi friends and we'd get together and do stuff. Like cookouts, bowling, going to the lake, going camping, etc. We had one hon show up and he kept trying to get women drunk when we'd all go out. I said if he were a man, we would consider that predatory and another woman said that he's not a man. I said something like, "he's not a man? Just look at him." I lost pretty much every single friend that I had overnight. Never invited out again. No one would talk to me. I knew a lot of them for years. I ended up getting a little weird in the isolation, a little woman hatey. But I got normaller again once I began making new friends and had some time to reflect on what happened. I think it was too much too fast and if I'd kept from sperging out about the rapehon being there, I probably could have gotten rid of him while pretending he's a woman. But that's all in the past now.

I don't powerlevel anymore. One of my friends is a nonbinary, and even if I find that super cringe I don't bother confronting her over it. She's just your average woman except she has a pixie cut so she's gotta be nonbinary, you know? It's oddly more acceptable to be racist with other women than it is to be transphobic it seems, since my area has seem a ton of jeets show up, and the men act, ya know, jeety. So I can say I hate Indians in a crowd and basically any woman would laugh and join in hating them. At least that's how it feels like, I haven't tried it.

 

[The Crescent King]

As a follow up to my previous comment, I'm currently doing a Masters at a very left-wing university, and out of exhaustion I've started to hide my powerlevel as I'm not interested in socialising with them in any way.

All of the men with the exception of the international students (one German and three Palestinians) look like soyboys. One of them looks identical to the Soyboy wojak and wears Che Guevara t-shirts. There is a troon that makes his presence felt; I'm one of four women in the class, two of which are such stereotypical "white women" they make me wonder whether Nick Feuntes has a point about women. One girl didn't want to say "bless you" after a classmate sneezed due to the phrase's "religious associations", and another went on a completely unprompted rant about people (i.e. whites) having too many babies. This is in a country with a below replacement fertility rate, a high marrying age and where families with more than three kids are unheard of. Furthermore, 3% of our native population is being replaced by immigration every year as 1 in every 8 young adults emigrates.

I went to sus out social activities on campus. In the students union area it was 99% Indian (I was the only white person there) and the one philosophy club I joined I spoke to a pasty white guy wearing eyeliner. The only attractive, masculine and normal looking males I've seen are at the gym, which is my only social outlet in college these days.

I basically cope by not having much of a college experience outside of the academics. My country is small and the right wing is largely unpopular here. One of my professors made several unprompted negative comments about the Catholic church, toxic masculinity and the media "moral panic" over pornography. The males in the class seem receptive to this garbage as well. I've been a cultural conservative for years but this experience has only helped solidify my views and my desire to never talk to liberals ever

 

[Van Argiano]

I'm surrounded by retards where I am so I wouldn't risk it. If anything, I'm the guy that has to explain all this confusing fucktarded gendershit to normies.

 

[fist_of_khonshu]

I don't tell people at my internship or place of work anything about my powerlevel because most of the IT department I work in are troons, soyboys, faggots or lefty women who sperg out over the smallest shit. I have a few people I keep around and would consider friends. But I still wouldn't take the chance to let them know I'm on the Farms. But there is ONE another guy I know who uses it, as I saw it open on his browser. I just never get a chance to approach him as we work in two different departments.

 

[Flatline]

But I got normaller again once I began making new friends

One of my friends is a nonbinary

Why did you put yourself in this position again?

 

[Super Guido]

I used 'nigga' as an exclamation (not even an insult) with someone a couple days ago, and she got upset with me. She's one of those "blacks can say it, but not you, even if it's not hard-R" types.

She's also dating a black guy, so I imagine that factors into it.

 

[Wild Wild Wisteria]

I don't mean to sound like an internet tough guy, but I don't hide my powerlevel at all. There's absolutely no reason for me to hide it and I'm openly racist\homophobic\troonphobic\whathaveyou; I wear it like a badge of honor. It definitely helps that my neck of the woods isn't that tainted by wokeisms or globohomo yet, so whenever I see anything or anyone advocating for that bullshit I immediately call them out and shut that shit down. My acquaintances, friends, and family adore my racist tirades and even if they sometimes disagree with my viewpoints, a common middle ground can always be reached through civil conversation with the occasional redpill every now and then. I also peaked them on trannies and clocking techniques lmao.

 

[Dr Naomi Hunter]

Having a diversity and inclusion officer is wild. I’m assuming that isn’t their only role and they contribute to something other than that.

It is actually their only role. We are a membership based organisation, so the diversity rubbish she comes out with aren’t just directed at staff, but also the members. She started in the role 18 months ago and is much more vocal about troons etc than the previous one. The previous one I could tolerate at least.

 

[Julie Newmar]

With friends, it depends. The most I’ll concede is just ignoring the topic or saying something like “yeah, I don’t get it, aaaanyway-“ At work, I tend to go mask-off. I work in kitchens and have little to no problem telling them how I feel about troons. If there’s one on staff, I’ll be polite enough to shrug and change the subject or say something to the effect of not knowing what it’s like but finding it sexist on the surface.

 

[Plastic Paddy]

I think I'm relatively sensibile and level headed so I don't really need to hide my power level. Besides, I got tired of wearing a mask my whole life until I realized in my mid 20s it was killing the relationships I had with people slowly.

I just care about people being respectful towards each other and agreeing to disagree. I'm from a pretty blue state, I guess the really only divisive views I have are being against transitioning kids, let them be kids they have it tough enough already, and transgender people competing in the gender they transitioned to. You can do whatever you want with your body after you become an adult, but that's not going to change your innate physical advantage because our bodies were made for different purposes. It's unfair to women. Let them just compete in their own trans competition and call it day.

I just want a world with healthier people who come from a stable family unit than the unraveling of the basic and most important relationships. That probably won't happen anytime soon but I'd at least like to hope we can do better.

 

[The King-In-Chains]

Cards kept close for personal comfort. Not afraid to tongue-lash if it has to be done.

I worked in two professions that were very liberal-progressive. Most of the time people associated stereotyped or typecasted my presumed beliefs based on appearance and hobbies. For job security purposes, I had to keep it on lock but every now and then you'd see someone break and vent (good time to pile on). Nowadays, I have the luxury of working from home so there's no real issue anymore.

I've had gay friends for some time during young adulthood; never really saw hedonistic/degenerate behavior until the last years at Uni and at underground scenes. For the most part I really don't care and only get irritated by religion bashing (it's like a club, fall in line or just go to the heretic churches...) and anyone pushing blatently destructive lifestyles.

The Trans question: I just sow doubt in mutuals/acquaintances/friends who are firm believers. Nothing too heavy; a smile goes a long way. Unfortunately, I have family who are trans. No way of getting around that. I mostly stay silent and soft-spoken, mainly because I really liked the person before they transitioned, and I knew he really preferred to be around me based on what others in the family told me. I hope one day he'll wake up and realize it's not too late.

Friends: Pretty blessed with my friend group. Curating goes a long way. They know what to expect, and they drop gamer vernacular on a regular basis on hangouts. Not much to say there. Have had several over the past two years come out and say "I was right/I agree with you, etc."

Family: Half are neocon/bluedawg-types who think my mental illness plays into my beliefs. Other half are intrigued and understand that my takes are nuanced but realistic; they can go bar-for-bar and still laugh with a drink in hand by the end of the night.
