'I put on my Harriet the Spy raincoat and went to work': Heroic stranger vanquishes a cyberbully, hanging the culprit's dirty laundry in the college Dean's office

Who has your back? We can sometimes count on our friends to be in our corner, but when they're not around, who will step up and be a hero? If you're lucky (like the girl in our next story) the heroic white knight backing you up might just be a silent stranger online.

We all remember the days of the 'mean Internet'. Although there are still folks online hiding behind their screens and commenting vile things they'd never say to a person in real life, there was an era online where posters were completely unhinged. It was cyber warfare out there and the bullies were king. 

Our story begins back in the peak of this decade, in 2013, and we can find our hero solemnly scrolling Reddit online. They quickly discovered a cruel subreddit dedicated to fat-shaming strangers where people would post a covert photo of someone and then, like feral hyenas, the commenters would come for their pound of flesh with biting comments and mean jabs. 

Well, our hero wouldn't stand for that. Scroll for the entire story of how a hero became a sleuth, clearing out the worst offender on the sub and nearly getting them expelled from their college campus.
