Doxxing him and ruining his life was okay then? Even though he didn't post or created those creepy subreddits which you have the liberty NOT to go to?

What? VA certainly did create a lot of them (e.g. /r/PicsOfDeadJailbait) and he moderated and posted on most.

(This is not a post pro or against the recent events)

False dichotomy, one can think they are both bad.

Why is he a victim? He chose to make his identity known to people! He attended Reddit meetups. People knew him.

Was he not aware that he was trolling and doing nasty stuff? If he was unaware, then I can understand him feeling like a victim; but he was fully aware that his actions were considered abhorrent by many people, and still persisted. So, naturally, people want to know who this person is, what makes him tick, etc.

That was in my opinion exactly his mistake. He got to comfortable.

The victims in this case are the people who were stalked and harassed by people posting to creepshots, not violentacrez.
