Here’s some doodles I did last night. Up top just did a bunch of Disney scribbles with Molly McGee, Amphibia, and Star. Then on the bottom is a bunch of stuff of me. Since I animate myself sometimes in the videos I make (https://youtu.be/o_809sjSjLQ?t=1697) ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slpHB4OLWTA) it’s fun to fool around with expressions and stuff for that “character” of me sometimes =)

The Online Identity Crisis

The intense identity aggregation of products like Google and Facebook is pushing users towards anonymous services. Whisper and Secret are both making headlines, each promising an escape from the ruthless scrutiny of mainstream social networks. While these services are great for providing a momentary distraction, they are still doing nothing to address the core problem…

It is not about being anonymous or even pretending to be someone else. It is about controlling which subsets of true facets of a person are relevant in different social contexts. This is fundamentally not deceptive but actually enables one to be authentic.

Outside of the Internet, it is extremely difficult to find out information about a person so that we can easily and naturally compartmentalize our experiences. A person can go to a health support group and discuss issues with their diagnosis, and then later they can go to a car show and discuss their love of 60’s muscle cars. They don’t worry much about someone in the car show reacting poorly to them because they are sick. This person is not a different person in these settings — it is always the same person — but different parts of their identity are relevant.

Sketches from last night. Bits of me, Zim tormenting Dib, and my version of Sari and Bumblebee (from the Maximal-Predacon Future Era).

It's funny how we all found a a nickname, fake name to go by on the internet and since them most of us probably changed once or never and it won't change till the very end, or if we are wanted dead or alive and need to completely change identity
