Ed Fornieles's interactive performance at the Dream Awards was an interesting approach to bring the factor of online identities to real life. I find Joanne McNeil's experience quite relatable. Growing up in a generation addicted to video games, I was particularly into mass multiplayer online roleplaying games(MMORPG, such as World of Warcraft. Where 90% of all female characters created in the game were actually played by guys. And I think the reason behind that is people's curiousity and desire to explore new identities in a world of endless possibilities. It could be in a game world, a forum, or a comment section of a Youtube video. We all find our place in the internet to express ourselves in ways we don't in real life. People on the internet feel safer behind their fictional identitiy. Hateful comments and trolls are everywhere because they can hide their identity and not be judged for who they really are. Touching on my previous weekly, the cyber mastermind Dread Pirate Roberts who was behind the massive deep web drug cartel the Silk Road. Who's real life and online identities were so different that it took years for the authorities to track him down. Such example shows the limitless possibilties of online identity.
