when i first joined, i didn't know what the word "incel" would eventually mean or how widespread knowledge regarding incels would spread. i was dumb and couldn't see the writing on the wall and i guess it's my fault. joined, may 5th 2018, well after AM.
for a time i was worried, scared to death my family would find out about "le ebil inkel" and maybe even kick me out for being such an awful person in their eyes. although as time passed i became less worried, maybe it was just me becoming more adjusted and relaxed, or maybe i just think it won't happen and so there's no point in worrying.
the only person in my family who i am certain knows about incels is my sister, i have heard her go on mini rants about the evil incel "nice guys" while i acted ignorant and pretended it was the first i had heard of it. so yeah, if they ever found out she would certainly despise me, view me as some sort of rapist. i suspect my brother already knows there's something "off" about me, or however he might put it. it would be awkward in the short term, but i don't think anything would significantly change. so no, i'm not afraid of being found out. though, admittedly, i still minimize .co when someone comes into my corner
sorry for the long post, i guess i'm feeling extra talkative tonight
