It might be better not to speculate online but come on - this isn’t an in person group where you can see there’s a person waiting in the wings to answer questions.
If my blunt speculation motivated you to give the answer you did then it kinda worked, did it not? Of course that point is moot if you would have taken the time to answer the OP’s question.
And I wasn’t that far off anyways, just wrong on the timing in a persons life. From your answer apparently the motivation for infosec comes from an early need to obfuscate online identity from parents/family because of non-traditional sexuality. Is that humiliating for a person or is it trying to avoid feelings of humiliation that discovery would bring up in a parent. Does it really matter?

This observation might have any merit at all if you weren't commenting on an HN thread for an article posted on my furry blog wherein I answer questions about the furry fandom all the damn time.

This is a silly justification for assuming incorrect things publicly. This is how misinformation and willful ignorance spreads.
