GIFT/Playing With

Basic Trope: Anonymity/invisibility corrupts.
 * Straight: When Bob goes to the Internet, the anonymity causes him to be a Jerkass Troll.
 * Exaggerated: Anonymity causes someone to instantly become a Sociopathic Complete Monster.
 * Up to Eleven: Anonymity instantly causes someone to become an Ultimate Evil Eldritch Abomination.
 * Downplayed: Anonymity causes someone to become a Jerk with a Heart of Gold.
 * Justified: In the real world, if you constantly become a Jerkass it becomes a permanent Never Live It Down that can ruin your reputation forever, thus acting as a Restraining Bolt. Having low visibility and no identity thus allow for people to express their repressed aggression without the social consequences.
 * Inverted: Anonymous people are the nicest folks you can hang around with while the named ones are the narcissistic jerkasses.
 * Subverted: At first glance, the anonymous people seem to be jerkasses, but it is revealed that they are the good guys compared to the real Big Bad of the Internet.....
 * Double Subverted: And after defeating the Big Bad, they ask "And Then What?", making them go back to trolling.
 * Parodied: Stealth Trolling as a joke.
 * Deconstructed:
 * The obscene amounts of hate crimes on the Internet causes the government to intervene and implement a Big Brother Is Watching system.
 * An Anonymous person acts like a complete bastard to some random person on the internet, and mocking them further for getting upset. They later discover that person was someone they cared about in real life, causing them to realize the unfortunate consequences of their actions.
 * Reconstructed: The anonymous folks respond to the Big Brother over the Internet by becoming even more stealthy.
 * Zig Zagged: Anonymous people have Blue and Orange Morality.
 * Averted: There is no Anonymous.
 * Enforced: The author wants to show what humanity would really be like if there wasn't a Big Brother to keep them in line.
 * Lampshaded: "Just because you have no name, you already act retarded?"
 * Invoked:
 * Defied: When Bob goes to the Internet, he takes precaution to restrain his behaviour and be polite to anyone.
 * Discussed: "We must be cautious when we go to the Internet. You wouldn't want it if your life is damaged forever by unseen forces just because you poked this guy."
 * Conversed:
