Is there a bias against those still in the closet?

While I completely agree that a face pic is great, the irony of safety on the Internet is that by not providing a face, you are being safer. I don't have the luxury of taking that risk, not yet at least. Would I love to, certainly, but the consequences of something going wrong are massive and life altering in a way that makes it not worth it.
