I'm a Mod?
I've been added as a mod to a bizzare subreddit. I've saved all the modmail, but I have no clue what any of it means. Does it point any fingers? I don't have the time to figure it out at the moment.
Closing In
Sisterofblackvision responded today. Turns out he's not from MR or SRS. Just an overall shitty person. I'll string this along a little further and see where it goes.

UPDATE: What Really Happened
I have not received a reply back from sisterofblackvision. I thought the trail had run cold, but according to the MR forum, sisterofblackvision started his own subreddit. The MRAs think I'm behind it, though there's really no way of reasoning with them, so it's pointless to try and convince them otherwise.
I've changed my mind and don't actually think the MRAs are behind this anymore. It seems like a nihilistic troll who's happy to watch the world burn.
Nevertheless, I'm still trying to get to the bottom of it:
Update 8:02PM
I just read through SisterofBlackvision's comment history and he did in fact post a picture of my comments to MR 3 days ago. It looks as though the comment was deleted and the MRAs haven't noticed yet.
I still think this is a troll looking for laughs in a heinous manner.

What Really Happened?
Someone trivialized a suicide and listed their motive as the desire to one-up my April Fool's Day joke on the men's rights section of reddit.com
Such an act is abhorrent.
Based on the language of that post, my hunch is that a men's rights activist actually holds this account and that they are trying to discredit me by linking me to this incident.
But there's also the off-chance that someone really thought this was a good thing to do.
I feel like I have a responsibility to get to the bottom of this. I will send the hoaxster a series of messages from my theageofeschatology reddit handle. I will make it appear as though I supported this hoax, even though I do not.
This post will serve as proof of my actual motives. Trivializing suicide is a terrible thing to do. It requires a distancing of one's self from the pain of others that is corrosive to the soul. This is a chief problem of the internet. We are all so isolated from one another that what would be unspeakable face to face becomes possible in the faceless online realm.
If the poster is actually an MRA, my messages will probably flood reddit as the hoaxster tries to prove I am actually supportive of such a twisted act.
If the poster thought I would support them, I will out them all the same.
SisterofBlackVision's methods are outside the realm of dignified conduct.
