I mean what did he expect? Did he think that the community dedicated to rumors and leaks would praise the dude who reported someone for leaking something?
Like, that is just massively idiotic, especially with a pretty unique name. Not only did he dox himself in reddit, but people in the real world now know he's the one that did this.
It was stupid as fuck to brag about it and post your face on the internet. Wtf are you thinking? No common sense.
The snitch is a self righteous asshole. Jerking himself off for telling the police about this crime. Then he also gives his full name. Again no common sense.
That subreddit is a strange place. I once tried to post a post warning people not to overhype themselves so they could enjoy the game properly, and the post got removed. It's an echo chamber full of nutcases.
Should have seen the amount of cope on /r/overwatch. "No, they didn't make the game objectivity worse, your just cheap". Can't really go against the hivemind while in its home.
To anyone seeing this - don't read the comments... I've lost brain cells. It's not even an especially long article and you can tell 99% of the people commenting only read the headline lol
