#fakeidentity

like imagine: —a girl disguises herself as a boy to enter jujutsu high —gets placed in an all-male dorm —gojo is suspicious from DAY ONE but thinks it’s funny —geto definitely knows and says nothing —nanami keeps getting protective and doesn’t understand why —naoya is annoyed because why is this “boy” prettier than him??? —choso is having an emotional crisis —toji keeps flirting just to make everyone mad —and sukuna… sukuna immediately knows and decides to make it everyone’s problem 😭

the tension??? the jealousy??? the accidental close moments??? the almost-reveals at 2AM???

and then somehow EVERYONE falls for the female lead.

bonus points for: —slow burn —comedy —chaotic dorm energy —possessive moments —“there’s only one bed” —and a little spice 👀 OR A LOT!!!!!..hahahaha

Are anonymous chat sites a dangerous playing field for internet users?

With an abundance of social networking apps to choose from these days, we have plenty of opportunities to chop and change our profiles to deliver online identities which are much more favourable replicas of the ‘real’ us. Having free rein over our profiles enables us to control how others perceive us and who/ what we interact with. Even better, such platforms give us the freedom to hide what we perceive to be the less attractive aspects of our lives. So no, the guy you fancy on Instagram doesn’t have to see what you look like first thing in the morning, and your work colleagues on Facebook won’t be able to see your drunkest state on a Saturday night. These choices of what we do and don’t share online are enabled by what are referred to as Involvement Screens. 

What if Involvement Screens enabled you to hide your identity all together?

Whilst social networking sites are popular for their ability to connect internet users in a way that saves the time and effort of face to face interaction with real life friends, the enormity of the WWW also allows individuals to engage with people they may never have met in the real world. This advancement in the field of social interaction is a benefit highlighted by the Hyperpersonal perspective on social networking which favours the convenience of online interaction over face to face encounters. 

However, when it comes to talking to ‘strangers’, users gain the power to perform self-censorship over their profiles; meaning they can create a new version of themselves which can be as similar or dissimilar to their real selves as they desire. In unique cases, this might involve the use of a new name or avoiding the declaration of an identity all together. Some areas of the internet even allow users to become anonymous.

What are the benefits of anonymity online?

Advice networks are an ideal example of platforms where anonymity can have huge benefits for users. Want medical advice on something your too embarrassed to visit a doctor for? Instant chat platforms, such as webdoctor, provide anonymous advice services which individuals can engage with in the comfort or their own home. Likewise, the site ‘Kooth’ was founded for young people to seek advice and understanding from people other than their friends, whilst ‘Chat to a Potato’ allows users of any age to chat to someone tackling issues similar to them. 

‘KOOTH- anonymous online counselling and emotional well-being platform for children and young people’

For some, the ability to become ‘anonymous’ is a revelation. It offers the chance to completely disconnect from the real word and engage in a fantasy world where judgements and reputation have no value. However, the power of anonymity has also been shown to encourage negative responses such as the performance of inappropriate behaviour including harassment and flaming (Jones & Hafner, 2012). Even more, whilst anonymous chat rooms provide opportunities to talk to new people, it is not guaranteed that interactions with these strangers will always be worthwhile and enjoyable. In some cases, they may even be unpleasant.

Take the international site ‘Omegle’, for example. You may remember this anonymous chatroom from your secondary school years. I certainly remember my classmates spending lunchtimes on the site, exchanging hilarious messages with strangers and trying as hard as possible to generate the weirdest conversations with their randomly-generated strangers. However, despite the hours of amusement Omegle provides, it has also been cautioned for its danger and explicitness arising from cases where the site has been used to groom and manipulate younger, innocent, users; enabled by the anonymity of their identity. 

‘OMEGLE- Talk to Strangers! Anonymous online chatroom’ 

Too good to be true?

Sometimes, social networkers’ anonymity is less obvious than we think. Remember the American TV show, Catfish? This reality-based documentary exposes both the fairytale and nightmare realities of online dating by accompanying internet users to their first ever face to face encounters with online love interests. The individuals featured on the show have met and expanded their relationships solely through the medium of online chatrooms. And, in more cases than none, the final scenes of the episodes result in the exposure of a ‘Catfish’; someone who has created a false representation of themselves using a fake online profile. This tactic is an extreme instance of what is referred to as Impression Management.

The internet is an infinitive space; characterised by user generated content, interaction, and, of course, actions. Yes, the invention was a revolution for social networking and connectivity, but, without the internet, maybe we could learn to love ourselves for who we really are…
