If you haven't been familiar with the antiwork saga: The mod in question had an obscure post leaked where they confess to rape.
Now, I don't have any rape confessions. But this whole drama is fairly niche (no normal person on the street knows wtf this is about) and someone still had dirt on them.
When I was young and stupid, I may have uploaded some nudes of myself because I liked people calling me pretty. I know that some real-life people also may still have digital copies of them somewhere. Every time someone is ridiculed or cancelled for something that is leaked, it freaks me out because if I ever gained attention for whatever reason, I too have things I'm totally embarrassed about.
Obviously I'll never be super important, but there are completely insane cataloguing websites (that shouldn't be named) who will release anything they can find on obscure people. And white male conservatives have less of a stigma. I doubt that reddit mod never really thought they were going to gain any amount of notoriety before this interview blew up.
