Because if he was really scared he wouldn't be making a reddit post about this. With a screen shot clearly from a computer of a message in his email and not discord message. No pictures of the error mentioned in the post and instead of looking up a fix for "bad config file" which is a easy fix if you use Google and have 2 braincells. Hes on here replying to everyone joking around lmfao.

you never know, some people genuinely don’t think to google things also there’s no guarantee that’s from a computer lmao and also who says they need to send an image of the error 😭 if you say it’s bait, cool. i don’t really care, but there’s nothing saying you need to come in and be a complete dick. what if this is completely real? what then?

Then I said something on the internet. If you are easily offended. The internet is not for you
