I think the groyper forum users self consciousness comes from twitter usage. Twitter is open so projection of strength and aggression is the method of protection for the self against possible enemy attack. Whereas on a semi private forum the self is sheltered by non-interaction with foreign worldviews, allowing for some to type with more revelation of the self. The self's greatest fear is to expose itself completely in honesty and truth, with the response being anything negative. At its most vulnerable point even a light blow could cause extreme damage. But is the hidden self even real? It is necessary to reveal, to make known, for something to be concrete and what the self wants most is to be concrete. Self-confidence is the ability to reveal the self completely, devastating and extreme blows rendered impotent against the force of will. The will being the concrete of the self in a man with self confidence. Overwhelming will can turn what would be total defeat into the most spectacular victory of the self, spurring on greater and greater solidity of the self, until they are erecting marble statues in your self's honor.
