Star Wars fans went decades knowing Luke was Vader's son without knowing one whit about the prequels or any real details of Vader's origin story. I don't think you have wipe away what the OT tells us about Vader to ignore what the PT tells us about Anakin.

But they aren't saying just ignore the PT. They are seeing Vader as just a mysterious dark jedi with no Anakin or any knowledge of who Vader is at all. And that cuts out a lot more than just the PT. I get ignoring the prequels and saying that Vader was Anakin who was Luke's father but ignoring anything we know about him.

I guess we just have very different interpretations of the secret.

Yes, as someone who saw the films way back in the 1980s, I read the secret as preferring Vader's backstory to be ambiguous, but not dispensing with the I am Your Father and the name Anakin. The fanfic in that time period was fabulous. And the prequel was such a horrid disappointment, from midichlorians and virgin births onward. I feel the same way as OP.
