I don't think violentacrez is using Reddit as a scapegoat. I think he's genuinely and understandably surprised by the outrage. It's that transition from being hailed as an Internet hero to being derided as a vile monster that has just left him bewildered. From what I understand he was instrumental in driving traffic to the site in the early days, and contributed a great deal to not only moderating his own subreddits (including many of the most popular subreddits) but training other moderators. An awful lot of people held violentacrez in high regard despite his controversial antics, but now this has all blown up in the media, violentacrez himself is being used as a scapegoat.
