Abstract

This study was motivated by the phenomenon of online disinhibition, which allows individuals to express themselves freely under the cover of anonymity without strict constraints. The phenomenon of online disinhibition has fueled a role-playing culture within the Telegram community LPM Roleplayer Hastle, where individuals use fictional identities and interact anonymously, thereby engaging in behavior ranging from the use of coarse language and aggression to cyberbullying. This study employs a qualitative approach using the netnography method through in-depth interviews with informants selected via purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted using thematic analysis, drawing on self-concept theory, which encompasses others’ image, social comparisons, cultural teachings, and self-interpretations and evaluations. The results indicate that anonymity is the primary factor driving the emergence of online disinhibition among roleplayers. Roleplay players’ self-concept is formed through social interaction, evaluations from other members, social comparisons, the community’s communication culture, and the process of self-reflection. Additionally, roleplay serves as a space for emotional release and self-exploration, which contributes to the formation of a self-concept that is bolder, more open, and more self-confident. This study provides insight into the process of self-concept formation among roleplay players in the context of online disinhibition within the Telegram community.
