137. When anyone goes into "anon mode" like that, they're assuming the default anonymous personality, which happens to be "male" because that's the environment it was created in, like 4chan with a blanket assumption of male. I would venture a guess that nobody's consciously trying to act male, but that people are just trying to act in tandem to preserve anonymity. Since we ARE in a male-dominated society, anon is male until proven female (though not on LJ so much, anon's language is mostly inherited from elsewhere). probably most posts will read as male anonymously unless something seriously points in the other direction.

basically I have an idea of what I'm talking about but when I try to write it out it makes no sense

somehow it seems I am the only one to answer all ridiculously pretentiously and not just call you stupid so far
UM, I MEANT TO SAY THAT YOU'RE STUPID. ...I didn't actually in case that wasn't clear.

wow I think you're the only one who could wrap their brain around this secret! I witnessed two yaoi fans anonymously calling one another a "moralfag", IMO that kind of insult is pretty "male" in nature and it's puzzling sometimes. I suppose people in anon-mode are a hive-mind of sorts...

Yeah--there's really no denying that 'faggot' is a word designed for men, despite the fact that on 4chan it's evolved past that into a gender-neutral and not necessarily negative term. It's only a gender-neutral term now because it was applied to all anons because all anons are default male. XD But yeah, Anonymous is meant to be a hive-mind; even when there are differing opinions, those opinions are meant to be expressed in the same language. It helps obfuscate people's individual identities. On LJ anon memes, people are usually anon for a reason, so may as well blend into the crowd where no one can pick you out.
