I have my picture in my avi for this reason.
I don't need to hide behind text posts or avatars.
Not coming at you personally bc I have nothing against you but you were the same poster making threads about getting harassed online. The message is contrary to your experiences and the potential issues. But if you have a public persona - I could see being "public" but for people with families and other more substantial shyt to lose, you can't negate a person's need for privacy and maintaining their personal. I mean, you have people desperate enough to post up "fake news" and pay people online for information. That's not really a defense.
