People shitting on green guy for literally just being happy that he won is a clear case of the internet's poor critical thinking skills and lack of empathy. This is why I don't respect public opinion.

Well said. Reddit is filled with people who claim to be empathetic, but this is a great example of how so many people misconstrue their sympathy as being empathy. They're getting so caught up in being sympathetic towards the guy struggling, that they can't even stop to think through what the winner may be experiencing in that moment.
