I think that's more about the humanizing effect of a name and a face? It's the same reason when I took online classes in college, I always uploaded an endearing personal pic for my icon, to give me a face and make it harder for professors to crush my dreams guiltlessly.

Personal details and backstory add up, and people feel like they know you. Like how they show a soldier looking at a photo of his girlfriend back home right before he gets exploded--it shows that he is a human and someone loves him, and they were going to get married, weep damnit.

I don't think it amounts to privilege though, cuz you give up plenty in return for it. Your past actions and statements can always be used against you, and if you get in a flaming fight with someone over who Ash Ketchum's dad was, you can't just stroll into the next post and be like "omg! I love Italian food too! This recipe is great, thanks!" cuz they'll be like "Fuck you, Blitzwing. Ash's dad is clearly Giovanni, and I don't want an idiot who thinks otherwise using my grandmother's pasta recipe. Puttana."

You are a great example of the latter point.

Well, it's true that I won't swap recipes with someone who refuses to see the obvious. Professor Oak is Ash's dad.
