   “Is there anything I can do short of deleting this identity that will stop people from associating me with cyberpunk?”

   This current profile and the associated content?

   Probably not, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

   “It isn’t helping me integrate into respectable or even middle tier society.”

   What exactly is your definition of “respectable,” and how does it differ from your current circle(s)?

   Personally speaking, I gave up on trying to fit in with the suit-and-tie cocktail party crowd years ago.

   Nope. Just for you to live on your own terms, instead of someone else’s.

   If you’re really wanting to fit in with the suit-and-tie cocktail party crowd, seriously consider large-scale tattoo removal, and lose any non-earring piercings that you have, because aside from rock stars, they don’t appreciate that sort of thing much. Conformity is the key there.

   And be on the lookout for those wanting you to empty your bank account into theirs. That scene is their natural habitat.
