    cute.

    Unfortunately, Centurii-chan made some very suspect tweets that I’m still uncomfortable with. Stuff about wanting to say the n word and “hiding their power level,” which basically means concealing radical opinions so you don’t get kicked out of normie spaces. I’m not gonna remove their art, but I do encourage people to be cautious about centurii-chan

        Yeah, I know. I really like some of their stuff too, but the Roman aesthetic is popular edgelord types and fascists, so it isn’t that surprising. I don’t know if they’re simply edgy or fully fash pilled, which is why I’m not doing more than informing.

      I always thought of “hiding ones power level” as not letting the normies know just how autistic you are or not mouthing off about your special interest in polite company. Or bronies not going to work in their favourite fluttershy t-shirt. Not necessarily fascism related stuff.

      Although the n-word comment is less defencable.

        “Hiding power level” was originally about fascism, but it could be about anything you want to conceal in theory. That said, them wanting to say “the gamer word” makes it more likely that they’re using the original meaning.
