(I chose to do this response as a blog instead of a comment so that I would have a working hyperlink to the youtube video I'm talking about)
Some people hide behind their online identities yet some
people genuine about who they really are.
There is a tendency for people to create dual identities (eg
cyber vs real life) and need to keep their identities separate from each other.
I don’t really understand it but this guy below has quite a lot to say about it.
When I was browsing through youtube and randomly looking up things about identity
I came across this:
He’s pretty pissed off that google and youtube want users to
use their real names instead of their chosen usernames. It even goes so far as
to ask people the reason why they don’t want
to use their real names. He goes through a big long list of different reasons
why you can elect to not use your real name such as being a band, or a
business, but he’s exceptionally sarcastic about it all. The main reason he doesn’t
want to identify online using his real name is because he opposes the new world order and the government
taking complete control of society. And he’s not alone, there plenty of other
people talking about the same conspiracy theory and wanting to stick it to the
man… (I personally think they’re all just a bit paranoid). They all feel very
strongly about keeping their online personalities separate from their real life
identities, but realistically I feel that our online identities should be
reflective of our real life identity, it shouldn’t lead to a split in a psyche
which causes multiple personalities.
