Care to elaborate? Shedding face to me is not the outcome of wearing an online mask but the result of a personal struggle with oneself that finally brings you to this ethical conclusion, that having a face is not important. It's redundant.
This is basically the axiom of mental autonomy in the face of credible challenged levied by neuroscience against the phenomenological self-model.

I would beg to differ. For example, as corny and over-used as it might sound, Metzinger's philosophy "of facelessness" (the thread's words, clearly) runs somewhat in the opposite direction.

Not that I agree with Metzinger, but you put the whole issue in very absolute terms which is not a easy position to be in.
