I run into this on dating apps. “Centrist” and “apolitical” are both code for “conservative.”
I've heard that many men do this because they've realized, in some capacity, that outright admitting they're right-wing limits their opportunities.
In my circles, I've noticed this "I'm actually apolitical" trend is also found among popular developers/tech influencers.
Saying you're anti-woke gets you shunned and surrounded by a horrible community, but saying you're "apolitical" gets you the blessing and protection of self-proclaimed centrists.
