Employers will google potential employees - there is absolutely no reason they need to know that I played WoW at one point in my life. There is a still a massive stigma out there suggesting that anyone who plays video games(especially MMO's) is non-productive and lazy. Considering it's a false stigma, I don't want it interfering with my professional life.

You know this might be the catalyst that changes that. Gaming is a HUUUUUUGE industry. Bigger than the film industry. So yes, lots of people game...big deal.
Maybe if most of the people your future employee googles turns up as a gamer they'll realize that it doesn't really mean anything except that you like to be entertained.

True, you can role play yourself if you so would chose, but last time I checked there were no Tauren Druids running around in Cheetah form outside the Seven Eleven. I got into RPG's to take on the role of the main character, in MMORPG"s I am that main character.. so the role is my choice.
If I chose to be a devious Dread Lord with a tower in the forest full of player skulls, destroying all who come near and scarring the land scape, that is my choice. That is my persona, that is my role. It is no ones business which RL name or persona is connected to it, it should not matter.

This is on the forums, not in the game. So you can still be a devious Dreadlord and nobody will be the wiser.
