Hmmm, I don't know. I've always thought the internet is where people express what they can't or don't want to in real life. IMO neither persona is the 100% "genuine" personality.

The first time I saw this, I thought it was a classic example of wasting a whole episode just to establish some symbolism/make one of the show's themes explicit, so I skipped past the second half and went on my way. Holy shit was I wrong.
