On Anonymity
It has been quite some time since we posted here on Minxy & caged. I have posted about leaving Twitter, angry at people, and many, many other things here on the blog.
I honestly feel as though I have run out of things to write about without sharing more personal details about our lives. Sharing something like that may affect our employment. That is not something we want to do.
I am sure that just having this blog, and Twitter accounts, and sharing some of the pictures that we have may make it easier for people to recognise us if they were to go looking. Now I hope that no one does go looking for our real identities. Although if they did go looking and work out who we are, I would also ask why they were looking. If they tried to out us would be risking outing themselves as well. Although some people would try to out us under the cover of anonymity.
Now I have no control over what people do, and I accept the risk by keeping Minxy & caged, as well as Twitter. I have considered walking away from it all, however, I would miss all of the people I chat with. Now I certainly do not wish to go down that path.
Now if I was to be outed, I’m not quite sure what my plan of attack would be, although I suspect my first thing would be to go into hiding, and shutting down the blog and our Twitter accounts. As for what else we would do, I’m not quite sure. An alternate ending could be to just own it, accept that there is nothing illegal about what we are doing, and that we live in a world where privacy is eroding daily.
Neither of those outcomes is an ideal situation. I hope that it does not come to that. I enjoy what I do as caged, same as Minxy, and we do not want to hurt anyone. We just want to live our lives, as Minxy & caged, and do what we enjoy with anonymity.
I could ask that you respect our choice to be anonymous, but if you wanted to be vindictive, you could and no amount of begging would change your choice. So all I can do is to trust that you won’t try to out Minxy and I.
