When did you realize you'd never be a normie again?

Gamergate was when I realized most fellow game devs are consensus oriented, intellectually and morally pliable, and generally not safe to speak with truthfully.

Trayvon Martin started a pattern of distrust that allowed me to interpret consensus differently though.
 
The plane ride home from Africa. I realized what I saw during my years as a humantarian aid would never be forgotten and no one was ever going to understand me ever again. You have to see the things I've seen to know. I lurked around on a bunch of forums like this for a long time and decided to make an account shortly after the Chauvin shit show. This is one of the only places I can drop all my filters and just laugh at the absurdly of this gay world.
 
When it finally sunk in probably a few years ago, when I probably had some idea of it but didn't know what to call it, probably when I was a teenager.
