General Chat and Discussion / Re: IRL v.s. Digital You
« on: October 17, 2008, 06:24:36 AM »I wonder, for those who have met me IRL, when I speak online, do you imagine my real voice/self saying it? Or is it text on a page, like anyone else.
Actually, whenever I say Motoko-chan in my head, I hear it in your voice. That's like the only thing.
I'm also curious about how e-penises factor in to digital persona. Those of you who have administrative/staff-like positions somewhere on the net, has Status changed your digital persona at all? When I was younger, something like my first OP/hOP in a channel certainly had an effect. Eventually I grew to write the same regardless of where I am or what status I have on the internet.
Ask directly why don't ya? ; ) I think the status has just amplified what I was previously. Was I bossy, perverted and all that fun stuff that I am before Dynasty? Yes. but once I went up in rank and people started to obey me, it was massive ego inflation. Now my real self is a lot more cocky, and anywhere else I go on the net is just a dimmed down version of how I am on IRC.
