thoughts on anonymity
Someone just created a kinkmeme for a small fandom I've long been a fan of, though never written in.
Why, you may ask, is that sentence not followed by an exclamation point?
The creator(s) have made the meme mandatorily anon-only.
This has happened with at least one other kinkmeme for a small(ish) fandom I'm part of, and I found that it somehow puts me off. I've thought about it several times, and I can't exactly pin down why I dislike it, aside from It's probably a combination of laziness and lack of shame. I may have come to better conclusions in the past, but right now I am sleep deprived and under-caffeinated, so I cannot recall them or re-think them out. (Insert cat macro here: "I thunk yu guyz sum meta, but I forgetted it"?)
I'm 100% for people having the right to be anonymous on the internet, and that includes kinkmemes! But being told that I have to be anonymous results in serious levels of Do Not Want.
Am I the only person in the universe who has this reaction to mandatory-anon policies? Is there someone out there who has the ability to prod my grey matter and figure out why this irks me?
Thoughts, anyone?

no subject
I like context, and I like meeting fanish people, and I especially like taking the credit for what I've done. :D
