the majority of the preliminary a reaction to the fight got composed of this site’s userbase arguing during the effects of Rodger’s massacre from the future of the discussion board, considering Rodger’s potential past use of the discussion board (he used his actual name as his handle on the website together with a number of alt reports which will are his by the crafting style), that was later on verified by his reference to Puahate inside the manifesto.
The users of community forum differed inside their opinion as to what traits generated Rodger incel, but typically concurred in their effect of (within view) his effeminate actions and basic social awkwardness as the most likely cause of their involuntary celibacy. One user published of Rodger (likely facetiously):
Hea€™s not “ugly” in layman’s terms and conditions, but he’s no gender charm. Quick reduced next and homosexual midface, with zero brow ridge. We ought to enjoy deeper [. ] the guy must have gotten a hair-cut, acquired throat tattoos and reviewed the most notable together with the sociopathic operate, that will have actually received him hotties. Unfortunately, similar to on this site, he is as well aspie to understand it. Lock him up-and throw away one of the keys. [10]
In manosphere, especially among pick-up musicians and artists, there seemed to be generally speaking an endeavor to distance themselves from Rodger responding to efforts by feminists in addition to media to link Rodger about what ended up being the foremost faction associated with the manosphere. The opinion among them had been that Rodger is a “game denialist”, due to their use of the anti-PUA community forum Puahate. They debated that finding out PUA and deploying “game” might have assisted Rodger see put, thus averting the massacre. [11]
Vlogs [ revise | edit supply ]
Rodger published a number of movies, which generally speaking took the type of monologues of your talking about their loneliness and (observed, since the guy failed to seem to have clearly requested lady down for dates as a result) rejection by ladies on Youtube with titles for example “Why Don’t babes Like Me?” Some other films on their channel grabbed the form of random vlogs portraying your creating around the avenue of Isla Vista while playing 80s sounds (a possible incel attribute) and sopping during the landscape in various locales close to the area. The troubling articles among these video clips, including open aggressive and suicidal ideation, led to some body (most likely their mommy) informing police of those, and additionally they afterwards paid your a call ahead of the massacre. The deputies just who went to your after described your as “shy, fearful and courteous.” Next explore, they kept him alone, while they had no appropriate cause to detain him. Rodger authored within his manifesto that after this consult, he slept with one of his pistols under his pillow so he could about see certain eliminates before are detained/killed from the authorities in the eventuality of all of them wanting to prevent their strategies.
Within his last video clip, he spoke at amount of their feelings of sexual rejection and loneliness. The guy ranted at size detailing their intense envy towards sexually effective people along with his hatred of women as a whole, and talked of their serious misanthropy, declaring: “I hate all of you. Humankind are a disgusting, wretched, depraved varieties. Basically have they in my electricity, i might take a look at absolutely nothing (points finger at cam) to lessen every single one people to hills of skulls and canals of bloodstream. And rightfully therefore.”
Finally, the guy assured, “On the day of retribution, i will go into the finest sorority residence at UCSB and that I will slaughter each and every rotten, stuck-up, blond slut we discover in there” right after which “take to the roadways of Isla Vista and slay each people I read there.” [12] The video clips had been removed by YouTube as violations regarding rules against violent risks; subsequently undeleted; after which erased again in 2018, following Toronto van assault perpetuated by Alek Minassian, just who regulators state praised Rodger in a forum post prior to the fight.

Narcissism [ modify | change resource ]
Elliot Rodger’s private tale was disproportionately reported by news because the guy exhibited narcissistic attributes and an unlikable personality, and this match their particular story. It is often advertised that Rodger’s annoyed narcissism got an important facet inside the choice to undertake their murderous rampage, using this probably getting a larger aspect in adding to the massacre than his autism, [14] and this disappointed narcissism was also an aspect in a large amount other mass killings, within a theorized “path to proposed assault” unit, wherein narcissists look for aggressive revenge your alleged insults they endure in contravention on their higher self-image, a purported exemplory instance of this type of becoming the terrorist assaults committed by Anders Brevik, who was additionally diagnosed with autism. This essentially ties in with the usual story that Rodger’s massacre had been driven by sexual entitlement, and it’s certainly tough for just about any sensible individual deny that Rodger got probably motivated nearly specifically by sexual frustration (though a desire for highest reputation in addition appears to have starred a job, with standing being conferred by ladies’ affirmation in his vision), while he lucidly elaborated inside the manifesto.
As an apart, while it might reported that Rodger have Asperger’s disorder, he was never diagnosed with this, versus becoming clinically determined to have PPNOS (Pervasive Developmental problems perhaps not Otherwise Specified), another Autism Spectrum disorder.
In the Youtube clips, Rodgers attempted to adopt an extremely unique, vaudeville villain type persona. This form of overstated self-presentation can be when compared to earlier incel murderer George Sodini (who Rodger discussed in some of his on line posts), who had no mental conditions and ended up being (for the majority of their existence) apparently fairly small, polite, hard-working, normal-seeming, and generally self-effacing (which women have undoubtedly regarded “boring”).
Equally, Alek Minassian’s private tale is normally glossed over in news reports relating to their massacre (instead generally centering on his last internet blog post), while he was a horribly bullied autistic unique specifications scholar, writing about his facts really plus details would maybe establish way too much concern.
