This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Superheroes calling each other by their secret ID names.

I don't keep up with comics, but I've seen quite a few panels of especially Batman and Superman calling each other "Bruce" and "Clark".
Did they go public or are they in the habit of using their secret identity names when out in public doing superhero shit?
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

I have only seen them do it when no one else or at least no one that doesn't also know the identities is around. It's still poor opsec, but in a world where someone may have the sensory capabilities of Superman, opsec becomes nearly hopeless for regular people.
