The instigator then plays the victim, using the outburst to discredit or shame the person they pushed too far.
Basically: you poke the bear until it bites you, then act shocked and sue the bear.

“He kept correcting her every sentence and questioning her tone. When she finally yelled, he said she was 'emotionally unstable.' Classic Reddit Defense.”
“She baited him into a rant and recorded just the angry part to make it look like he was unhinged. Straight-up Reddit Defense move.”

Get the Reddit Cop mug.Internet “gang experts” or wannabe Crips who learn everything about gang culture from Reddit threads, YouTube documentaries, and old VLAD interviews. They talk like they’re from South Central but can’t tell Crenshaw from Craigslist. Always quoting sets they’ve never met and correcting real members with “according to Google…” energy. Perfect example: “WSDMGC73,” a fake Crip set and the #1 fan club of the Hyena Crips.
