Obligatory mobile formatting apology

A user in r/teenagers created a post saying he had been battling cancer for 4 years and that he had just gotten the bad news that it was terminal. He said the tumor in his brain was inoperable. This user laid out a timeframe that made his story really believable. He even said at the very end he like shittymorph and threw in a hell in a cell reference. This user tricked others into gilding his post with over 20 gold and 75 platinum. 6.6 years of reddit premium. After 9 hours of milking the awards and the karma, the kid edited his post saying it was complete satire.

People are livid. shittymorph even replied to the kid asking if he wanted a hoodie. Shittymorph pm’d me from another post I made about this on how he believes this person should be banned. This is some big drama. Grab your popcorn.
