Then do it for the other thing though. You aren't forced to be polite / ''normal'' but a little bit of voluntary compliance to arbitrary / traditional personal stuff rules can go a long way in encouraging more people to have intelligent conversation with you.
Look at it like game writing. Don't hide everything but one trait. Don't be a token character because you can. Keep more sensitive information for friends / private conversations instead of saying that one thing over and over again. At the end of the day, it is human conversation if you don't take a small effort to meet other people halfway, they won't do the same for you.

TL;DR keep it classy when you're talking personal even if you think classiness is arbitrary.

You could say I consider you trustworthy enough to talk a bit about my personal life. But hey, if you don't consider yourself so, well, I can't blame you.

Look where I've found a link to this thread:

I was searching stuff about the Reuters Scale/List of Journalistic Integrity without success, someone here mentioned a list where media outlets were rated wether they pass Reuter's journalistic standards, does anybody still have something about it?

I've only found those interesting reads on my search:

Yeah but you posting it here is visible to everyone. I'd say we've talked enough to be friends, but literally anyone can read this. And we know this thread has more readers than posters.

Can't find the list but read the guardian article and felt kinda sick. The guy writing that wrote that article without looking at the duties a journalist has. We call a person a journalist because we trust him more than a gossiper, and when a journalist uses this naturally assumed higher level of belivability without basis or with malicious intent, bad things can happen.

Unethical journalism can't simply exist as a new branch or whatever of journalism as he put it. Its not for the journalist to decide what is the correct side to report on just as its not for the lawyer to decide whether his client is guilty or not.

Anita wants more money... again:

Still waiting for 9 out of 12 promised videos after the last $158 922.

Beats working for a living...

I have considered starting a parody project which will behave just the same way for the lulz. Trpes vs Men in Video games. Basically doing the same and playing victim while asking for money for stuff I am not committed to do, but with men. And well, everything would be for the lulz, even the part of earning millions and spending them on [REDACTED] would be part of the performance.

LOL. No combat. Game of the year.

It's the only way some people can achieve a flawless victory.

Hmm... it appears this thread is still going O_o

Also apparently my OP got -repped into oblivion in recent weeks. Huh.

Soon, they'll request putting in baby difficulty modes so candy crushing hipsters can play.
Its on neutral now. There's only so few people on GOG afterall.

Baby difficulty? Didn't you hear the rumor? The next Star Fox game might have a difficulty designed for people to "watch the game". I guess the True Scotsman fallacy sometimes turns out to not be a fallacy because if you ask me no true gamer would set the game in a difficulty so low the game poses no challenge at all unless they do not know it will be that easy or they already finished the game in a harder difficulty.

Some games may benefit from that. The reason I'm so dismissive of that is because I don't think devs would stop just there, but dumb it down a whole level or two and mess up the mechanics. The watch the game idea is a good idea, IMO because the mechanics remain untouched and the cut scenes and some gameplay will be complied for the viewers.
I'm ok with giving people more choices. If no other aspect's quality is being reduced, an option like that is a net positive because its something that can potentially increase utility to some people without harming anyone else. What I do have issue with is easy mode mechanics designed to make more people ''feel welcome'' but dumb the game down for everyone.
And as TB has bitched on about many times, as long as we aren't affected, why should we have a problem with it? If anyone can implement such a cutscene movie or baby difficulty without detriment to other mechanics, I'll be happy that the developers took a zero damage approach to welcoming in new players. And maybe the lower difficulties may entice new players to play the real game.

And some games just can't be easy-moded for the story. Like Dark Souls for example, where the mechanics and environment are the storytellers.
