Rationale for attribution-free online communities
Corporations and other large organizations often enjoy a desponsibility that arises from diffusion of responsibility, while at the same time being afforded benefits of personhood. The corporate body often enjoys the legal protections that a human body has, but it does not have the same degree of vulnerability that the individual human body does.

Thus there is an imbalance that has arisen, and continues to arise, in which individuals are disadvantaged when interacting with large organizations. The general spirit of this assymetry is perhaps best captured in Franz Kafka's The Trial, but will also likely be familiar, (even if to a lesser extent) to anyone who has attempted to deal with a large bureaucratic organization.
