I guess that the internet has a huge audience with people who use the internet to access all different types of communication available online where they can speak to people who are similar to themselves, whether this be RE interests or if they have the same disability, ethnicity, sexuality, etc.
It's good for them to know that there is people out there who shame the same values/experiences as themselves, specially if they live in a society which does not have people who share the same things in common with them within it.
For example if there was someone in society who had a fascination with flowers, they could go onto a forum and talk to other fellow flower lovers! They might not find someone who loves flowers as much as them within society, but online they might do as there is the option of them connecting with someone who is on the other side of the world - regardless of where they are, they still love flowers! They can talk to them about the latest flowers, the best way to keep them, and loads of other stuff. They can open up and really express just how much they love flowers with these people and not fear the threat of being frowned upon!
Obviously that was the most random example ever, but the internet plays a huge role in letting people express themselves differently - there's no way I'd of sat in a real seminar and gave an example about a flower lover! But online it is OK for me to use stupid examples as it's not as threatening and I can express the real weird way of explaining things me, without holding back.
