      It's saying that if they Google his name and find his blog and read his own words as he posted them for consumption by the public, this will harm his reputation That they're too dumb/ignorant/crazy/brainwashed by wokeness to make that decision, they must be protected from it

      It is astonishingly condescending and hypocritically self-serving It's a disqualifying position in and of itself

      If you prefer to write pseudononymously you should have that option. Is that seriously the point being debated here?

      If I were gonna write pseudonymously, I would not choose My First Name + Middle Name as the pseudonym. That would just be asking to be caught out. *Especially* if I also published about similar topics under My First Name + Last Name, and all three names were easy to find out.

      Or if you start out with a rando blog that gains national attention that you never expected?

      I made this decision way back in the ’90s, when I first started out online. Do I want to put the effort into keeping a distinct online identity, or not? I decided not, because I knew real pseudonymity took a lot of effort. Even when I started my rando blog in 1998.

      Moreover, it puts a cap on how successful you can get By the time people are actually citing your blog in mainstream articles and you have actual famous people among your fans, you've probably got to make a choice either to hang it up or to come out

      I'm trying to think of exceptions and there aren't many Even pseudonymous writers back when information traveled at the speed of horseback were usually outed surprisingly quickly (George Eliot came out after writing her very first book)

      The biggest successful secret identity story I can think of is Belle du Jour/Brooke Magnanti, but that was back in the 2000s, before Web 2.0 really existed And she still outed herself in '09 because she was sure she was going to be outed involuntarily soon if she didn't

      What's incredible here is that the outing itself isn't seen as the problem, that our society isn't too top-heavy, that the responsibility has to be on the individual to maintain anonymity.

      I don't know what the hell that's supposed to mean I like Magnanti and think it's a shame she couldn't live the double life she wanted but it's hard to imagine any society that both makes it possible for her to get rich and famous as an author and impossible for her to be outed

          Some sort of utopian "non-top-heavy" society where, I guess, people all kind of minded their own business and information didn't want to be both free and expensive wouldn't have had a place for her to write a bestselling tell-all in the first place You take the bad with the good
