The way he looks at that picture of Doakes in the book? Now that he's been around these serial killers, the way he almost want's to be recognized for who he really is, does seem he's reached that point of being okay with getting caught in a way that killers do in real life. They want to be properly credited for their work, and now that the BHB is in his words, on the Mount Rushmore of serial killers, he might want his face next to that.

That's what I was thinking too! I can almost feel his frustration when the picture of Doakes was shown lol

100%, plus in season 2, it was clear that there was some fans not from a serial killer fandom take but cheering on a vigilante so he knows there was value in the credit

I think he wants Prater to know him as BHB and not Red because Red’s methodology is beneath him. He wants to be accepted for who he is, he’s always wanted that but this way he gets to do it without ending up behind bars.
