if you couldnt hide behind a fake name and display pic and actually had to reveal yourself

to be able to write what you wanted online. Would you?

I dont think many would. I think most wouldnt say what they say here if they were not anonymous and could not hide who they were.
I think this site and other social sites would be vastly different if that was the case..

And to those who are not anonymous and say whatever they like. Respect to you

It's a bit more complicated than that. With cancel culture and employers being able to search for your name etc, I think it's wise for everyone to not openly express themselves without being anonymous. It's sad that it has to be that way, but it is what it is.

@TheGreatLeveler cancel culture is only a thing because people allow it to deem their life now. If people stopped cowering to what others might run and complain about, cancel culture would no longer exist

@Torsten I can agree to that to some extent when it comes to your personal life, but when it affects your business, or employment, it's a different story. At that point, expressing yourself without a filter isn't about bravery, but about stupidity.
