I feel like civilisation is kinda doomed when we let people come up with the same shitty idea every few years over and over again. It has been proven again and again that using your real name doesn't deter people doing the most heinous things on social media. Bigots don't care of you know their names. Just log into Facebook Twitchan or any other social media for a second to see that this idea is complete bs. But whatever even if she would realise it there will be someone in a few years trying to do it again.
