And, really, the internet is virtually anonymous anyway -- so resorting to anonymity within a framework that's already largely anonymous? It's almost like people need and actively search for an outlet for that toxic disinhibition. Anonymous love memes, of course, would probably count as benign disinhibition, but there are significantly more anon memes that feed off negativity.

These are the days I wish I'd been a psych major. The upswing of anon-memes in an already anonymous cyberspace would make an awesome paper. Does it suggest that somehow cyberspace is getting less anonymous? Or is it an individual fragmenting of personas?
