The basis for online disembodiment is that, contrary to the corporeal nature of offline interactions, a user's physical being does not have any relevance to their online interactions. However, for users whose physical existence is [[Social exclusion|marginalized]] or shaped by counterculture (ex: gender identities outside the [[Gender binary|binary]], ethnic minorities, [[Punk subculture|punk culture]]/fashion), their lived experiences build a subjectivity that carries over into their online interactions.
