Self Report
The term originates from the game that became popular in 2020, "Among Us". When used outside of the game the term has been further extended to mean when someone says or does something that reveals something bad or sinister about themselves unintentionally. The political twitch streamer Hasanabi uses it frequently.
Matt Gaetz: The New York Times is running a story that I traveled with a 17 year old woman. This is verifiably false.
Hasan: He just said "17 year old woman". Kind of a self report.

Someone being Interviewed: Israel has killed 63 children this is horrible.
Hannity: Maybe Hamas shouldn't have shot missiles from hospitals and schools. If someone attacked the U.S., it would be all hands on deck.
Hasan: "Oh dude we would murder every baby in the region if an American city was harmed" is not an argument you can make for what the morally correct action to take is in this circumstance. You're only self reporting that you would do worse war crimes than what Israel is currently engaging in. That's psychopathic.
