I'll ask again that the active Github users use their own name, and add to that if you could have a selfie as your github image.
I think the bigger issue is the fact that every photo is now called a selfie.
Personally all the places I have worked Besides the USMC and gov, my bosses could give two s**ts about your life. In fact if they saw something funny on github, they'd prolly be more inclined to interview. The PC crowd would love to ruin the careers of ppl they don't agree with but if thats who your applying from then thats on you. I have never lived in SF so I am just gonna stereotype that stuff that happens there doesn't happen everywhere. If your posting vile stuff on your real name then thats on you. Remember the Internet can screw you and you not even be at fault. If anyone remembers a certain very tragic event a couple years ago back East (which I will not name) and the media was blasting the brother's name as the perpetrator. Imagine how that guy feels now and he didn't have anything to do with his life being screwed over.
If you ever make a mistake just remember WWTD (What Would Trump Do) and say "Yea I said it so what"
Bottomline: For every employer with a stick up their a**, there is one that is actually a human being and knows ppl make mistakes.
