Every account you ever had, every post/comment you ever posted, now has your real name, a photo of you, and your address, all just magically show up on the webpage right next to each of your posts/comments (also, no “hacking” could hide the info). All deleted posts/comments are magically restored and nothing you do (short of permanently shutting down the website and physical destruction of the servers) can delete them. (Any edits would still show every change you made.) How fucked are you?
And don’t think about changing your name, or moving, all this info updates in real time. (for “magic” reason)
(You also cannot delete any future posts.)
Eh. I’m basically the same online as in person.
Not great. Some family members would either stop talking to me, or double down once they had my address to try to “fix me”.
I am like this in public and in person. No impact.
Lots of people have written fan-fiction worse than that!
I know I did. Brryuck

Not fucked. Of course I have some cringy stuff on MySpace from when I was in my early teens. But generally speaking, over the last two decades or so I don’t post anything I wouldn’t be OK with everyone finding out about
Did you know you can get someone’s address by typing in their email? Fuck data brokers. We need to outlaw their entire business model.
Based on real life experiences with having random guys try to hit on me, I’d probably get a lot of guys DMing me.
Whether or not I am anonymous does not change how/what I post. I also never delete any so nothing changes regarding that too. Cringe to be acting uncivil because you have a mask.
Facts. I’ve been posting exclusively as Postmortal_Pop on every platform I’ve been on since 2010. If someone wants me, they’d be downright incompetent if they couldn’t find me. That’s my name as much as my real name.
You don’t have feral horny alts? I mean me either, what a bunch of weirdos.
You should never post anything online that you wouldn’t be comfortable shouting at the top of your lungs in the middle of your hometown.
I would have no other choice but to kill myself since I vented about a stupid MISdiagnosis of a stupid disorder whose label means literally nothing that took 20 years from me as society only sees that stupid disorder instead of a human being. My work friends will view me as less than the scum on their shoes. My managers will assume I just don’t like working because it’s not playing video games. Everyone will assume the stupidest things about me instead of just actually talking to me. Because why would they? I’m less than a rat. Literally, rat traps and poison are made to kill the rat painlessly and comfortably. Puppets controlled by that stupid disorder die painfully over several years and “they just need to get over it.” I wouldn’t be allowed to work or rent an apartment because society thinks I’m an overgrown infant. No 988 caller would take me seriously, in fact everyone will agree that I deserve abuse since the abuse is “helping”. No one would believe the diagnosis was a mistake. They’ll mistake my ptsd from living on the wrong side of society for that stupid disorder. They’ll mistake everything I enjoy for that stupid disorder. Like all the people I cut ties with and completely ditched, they’ll mistake me for that stupid disorder.
Im completely fucked, I have said a lot of things that are very critical of the “Israeli” government and occupation (I live under their occupation). Also Bibi isnt exactly kind to critiques, I would probrally be suicided the next day. After being revealed and it being that public id probrally have a few hours to publish a manifesto before a Mossad agent neutralizes me.
Not very much, I assume there’s already some way for my name to be associated with my online identity just due to a slipup at some point or some good social deduction, and I rarely delete things I post anyways (they can be found in the modlog)
doubt something would happen
I regularly enter fighting game tournaments under this name, and my face has been on stream several times. While I’d prefer not to keep my full name and identifying info too easy to find, if someone wanted to track me down they probably already could using that.
I don’t have anything too embarassing to expose either. My worst crime is arguing with people on the internet way too much, but I don’t think anyone’s going to have much reason to want to go after me for that.
I’m 0% fucked but that Something Awful post where Cliff Yablonski referred to me as “Human Testicle” will resurface.
I’m fine with that.
Who?
Explaining historical Something Awful is a fools errand.
