Facebook arrives at commonsense 'real names' policy
Facebook has announced a revised, and some would say commonsense, version of its "real names" policy that introduces a little grey into its previous black-and-white efforts.

Seriously brah, you need to keep up with this stuff because being more progressive gets you more puss.
Dunno about progressive, but back in the mid-70s I used to share a flat with a homosexual bloke called, improbably enough, Bruce. He was funnier than 99% of the stand-up comics I've seen on TV. There wasn't a situation that he couldn't wring a laugh out of.
Funnier still were all the women who assumed I must have been a homo as well. I was converted every weekend :-) The old bed flute did get a workout! Happy times...

Eh, what? Given the tendency of modern progressivism to oppose sexual objectification, I would have thought "being more progressive" and "wanting more pussy" were mutually exclusive conditions!

Culture clash
This is a cultural misunderstanding.
In Murica, the government *owns* your identity. If you want to change it you have to ask the states permission.
In the UK and other countries you can wake up one day and say "Fuck it! my new name is...", then create a self-signed legal document expressing your intention, and all other government documents must fall into line. But it's not the legal paperwork that changes your name, it's the "My name is ... because I fucking say so" part.
Anyway, that's the problem with using Murican online services. You have to accept the Muricanization of your culture. So no nipples for YOU.

Bah!
It's all PR and SJW bullying.
FB aren't serious about any of this. If they were, they would have popped the two sock puppets I created ages ago to send resources to myself in Zynga games. They both sport pictures of my cats which can be found in my real name profile.
OK, OK. I admit it's been at least 6 months since I've logged into any of those accounts.
