If you're talking about reactions to the murder of Charlie Kirk, I really don't think anonymity is the problem here, because the opinions I've seen people express anonymously aren't much different to the opinions I've seen people express with their names attached.
If anything, the ones where people have attached their names tend to be a bit more extreme. Maybe attaching your name to something makes it feel more important to signal what group you're in.

- pitched 1y agoAnonymous users are much less likely to get defensive because they have nothing to defend.

- Thorrez 1y agoAre you saying 4chan users are defensive? They seem pretty unapologetically offensive to me.
