for me in terms of your poll i have a main twt that my irl friends follow and they’re all hardcore antis, so i have to make a lurking acc to see dead dove stuff. I’ve never shit on proship/dead dove like my friends do and sometimes i wish i could be honest with them about my interests, but i’d rather consume this stuff in private than lose all of my friends irl and be seen as a freak by other people in public.
Thank you for sharing! For the record, I don't mind that people do this. I understand a lot of folk are stuck, financially or physically or socially, in all kinds of situations that require assimilation. It can be difficult, and even dangerous, both mentally and physically, to leave before you're ready. There's also always the chance friends grow out of it eventually, or are also secretly going through the same pressures, so I don't necessarily blame people for sticking around. I encourage everyone to (safely) dip your toe into alternative communities, and find folks who can be supportive in the meantime. I too, am not sharing this aspect of my life with everyone I know, either because I know they wouldn't be too comfortable with it or be totally disinterested. So don't feel bad! I'd rather the poll makes you all feel less alone in this ♥️
