You don't really seem keen on having people read it.

Because I have this insane fantasy that I will be a great writer and on the off chance someone discovers my work I'd like my legacy not to include 4chan shitposts

OP, I was like you. Nervous.
But if someone is going to even try to be a writer? You got to post some finished work(s).
Now post that motherfucker, its called a pen name for a reason.

I just write for myself. It still hurts, but I accept the fact that my work will never be valued by the world.

It will take some effort to tie your shitposts to your real identity. Don't think anybody will bother.

Of course if we're talkinga bout google, then they already know about your shitposts and your real identity and you can forget about hiding anything from them. And at some point, yes, probably after you're dead, nobody will give a shit about your privacy and google will release your whole dossier to the public as a "public interest" thing. That's the reality of the world we live in, so you have to come to terms with that.

If you post it without a title or your name attached it will never be tied back to you.

Also if it's your first work you should send it to online-only literary magazines. Accept that you are a young amateur author, and fall in line with the rest. If your shit is good it will float to the top. If you don't know of any online only shitty magazines that's sort of on you

if literature gets to the point of schizos like you getting accepted again, your shitposts might even get printed in future analytical companion works

Man if you write a short story/esay on this very theme, I'd 100% read it. Post it on 4chan, a lot of us have this exact fantasy and dilemma.

Publish it as 'Anon', and take posterity more seriously! You should fear stylometry may definitively associate your shitposts with your legacy, but this is also an occasion for finding redemption in the public's eyes!

Humiliate yourself now in relative anonymity so as to defuse any public attempt at undermining your fame once your name is attached to it.
