Sorry to galaxy brain this but...welcome to the internet? Everybody here is operating under a username. A lot of the “BNFs” for Yuletide are people with only a dw who have have no other social media or who (smartly) keep whatever real online or irl friends they have separate from the exchange scene. No twitter, no tumblr, no discord, no wallet name. There is no functional difference between them and a sock.

Someone like rosefox, who puts all their business online, could still be someone’s elaborate sock puppet or catfish project.

I would much rather interact with a sock of someone who puts care into making a letter, writing a fic, and commenting than I would with an actual Nazi like ars_belli or some weird asshole on Discord that’s always causing wank. It’s not even a question to me.

Behind every account is a real person, even if sometimes they wear a moustache and clip on a different name, so how that person acts is all that matters to me, regardless of the name. One person being average or great across five accounts >>>>>>>>> One person being awful with their walletname and social security number for all to see.

If you’re well-behaved on sock and main, I don’t care if sock and main are the same person.
