There's self-pwning and then there's BRSing. It's where you Streisand yourself so hard you get your own definition. #BRS (credit to BastardSheep on Mastodon for specific definition).
Ben Roberts-Smith (BRS) was a âwar heroâ with medals. After media reported on possible war crimes, BRS sued. This court case drew national and international attention, raised awareness of alleged war crimes and other possible unlawful actions. On 31 May 2023 the USA warned that possible SAS war crimes may result in suspension of USA work with Australiaâs SAS. On 1 June 2023 the court decided that media outlets had sufficiently proven the worst of their allegations. So, basically, one manâs defamation law suit resulted in global condemnation and impacted Australiaâs relationships with allies in the countries where the alleged war crimes took place as well as detrimentally impacting international relationships with Five Eyes partners.

Instead of apologising, he BRSed himself into criminal charges.
To BRS is to pwn yourself on an international level.
