GamerGate troll turns tail after receiving harassment of his own

On Tuesday, a Twitter and YouTube user who had spent months posting disturbing content under the alias “Jace Conners” revealed his true identity, but not to apologize for the nasty, GamerGate-related stuff he’d sent to game makers such as Brianna Wu. Rather, 20-year-old Maine resident Jan Rankowski came clean with a statement that would make Alanis Morissette’s head spin: his videos had been a “joke” all along, and now he’s the one suffering a wave of anonymous Internet harassment.
