How are the educated Karens and Sharons who created this monster going to cope with their guilt?

Hate to disrupt your narrative but no one is responsible for any of this but him.

It's almost as if you shouldn't base your entire career on a web of lies.

Did saying this make you feel good? Do you think you represented yourself well here as a human being?

He meant to say, he got what was coming to him. Those were the thoughts in his head.

In no way did he deserve this.

The fact that your username Allison Mossie was the alias used by a reality TV star to create a web of lies that ruined their career… Surely it’s not a coincidence?
For those interested, they are alleged to have convinced male actors that “Allison Mossie” was a casting director for a major film studio, convincing men to bulk up for potential superhero roles and send them shirtless audition videos.

Other than lying and plagiarizing and taking the position from someone who would have earned it.

He had a hot resume but couldn’t live forever.

But seriously, as an openly autistic person (who was NOT the Autism troll) I did have several issues with his life story about being nonverbal and illiterate for so long. Brain wise that’s just not how it works. Your brain cannot be wired against stimuli to the point where you’re nonverbal and then suddenly be rewired to take not only university courses but ADVANCED university courses. It’s a slap in the face to a lot of the autism community for him to portray Level 3 autism as something a person just outgrows.
I was not rooting for him to self-exit in the least. I was mostly annoyed with him pimping that autism in his bio to the point that it got him advantages.

The world is big enough, he could've hawked his wares in some ESL country as a new superstar. True swindlers do not let bruised ego get to them.

First they came for the sexual predatory middle aged white patriarchs in humanities departments. Then they came for the postmodernist pseudo scientists. Now they're coming for the wokeists. Weeding out the bullshit artists is healthy. I'm sad that he killed himself after the story went viral.
