"Anonymity is authenticity," said Poole, the creator of 4chian says. "It allows you to share in an unvarnished, unfiltered, raw and real way. We believe in content over creator."
And with anonymity, users feel free to experiment without fearing reprisal, he noted. "The cost of failure is really high when you're contributing as yourself," he said. "To fail in an environment where you're contributing with your real name is costly."
No, that is called been chicken shit. Own up to the things that you are doing and saying. Be a man. If you believe that balls being chopped off should be mandatory for all half Canadian non Hispanic foreign born males then say it. Or, if you Asians drive you bananas in the library while you are trying to study, say that too.

So what if you have loons talking about you on the news for a day or two. Big deal. Use the notoriety to hock your new line of cat mittens and watch the sales soar. I'm not against anonymity in a general sense. I don't like to be tracked, traced, or be known enough to have the first season of the Gilmore Girls sold to me one out of every three pop ups but to say that the only way a person can say something in "an unvarnished, unfiltered, raw and real way" so that content is king over the creator well, that just seems like a cop out by a scared little soul sitting in their room avoiding human contact at all cost. Face someone. It's not that bad. Just bring some gum in case.
