For me, I always considered myself egalitarian, but what happened is I bought into their talking points that SJWs and feminists were actually just misandrists seeking special treatment. I don't think I was truly in danger of becoming a hateful bigot or voting for hateful bigots, but I certainly carried some of their talking points.

What snapped me out of it was one day watching one of these chuds do a video where they took like a politics or social values quiz of some sort, and I saw they didn't truly believe in equality. It was that that made me realize, "Wait, these guys actually believe some things I fundamentally disagree with." Basically they showed their power level.

So thanks, random misogynistic youtuber for showing me your true colors.

Like you with the furries, it goes to show that all it really takes is one moment of what they're saying not matching up with what you know to be true.
