Can't speak for everyone, but the reason I mentioned that nearku was advising a kid, specifically, is because I'm pretty sure the person they were talking to (won't mention their name since they're still a minor + I'm not sure at this point if they have left that dangerous situation) is quite a bit younger, 14-15, and is in a vulnerable situation, even if they weren't a minor. I think nearku is old enough to know better than to say what they did. It's not like they're some 10-year-old parroting creepy pastas they find funny.
Plus, in the screenshots, you can see that other people called nearku out or told them to stop, but nearku ignored them. I used to be in nearku's friend group from g1 hell, and they're normally a pretty friendly, fun person to hang around. If I saw that nearku was trying to be a better person, even if they'd made millions of mistakes, I wouldn't say anything. But it's pretty clear to me at this point that nearku doesn't care about anything but themselves, and showing off to other people. Their response to these callout posts haven't been to apologise, or even to lie low. They threw out everyone except their most pretentious asskissers from their Discord servers, whined about being doxxed, threatened to doxx the people who posted the screenshots, and harassed everyone they think have been involved, including some people who don't even know what's going on. So it seemed to me that all I can do at this point is show other people what they're like so people can decide for themselves if they want to associate with them.
Anyway, that's all I've got in response to your 'we should point out mistakes instead of bullying them' point. I agree with you, but we've tried that, and it hasn't worked. So now all I can do is tell others to be careful.
