Current Events > Elliot Rodger was a pretty selfish kid

(+) Yeah! (+)

Here's what he wrote about when his mom bought him a PS2:

For Christmas, my mother bought me the new Playstation 2. I had been wanting it for a long time, and when I unwrapped the present and saw the box, I felt so elated. Beforehand, the only video game console I played was the Nintendo 64 (and the Gameboy, if that counts). The Playstation 2 was much more advanced in graphics, and it amazed me.

When mother announced that I would have to share it with my sister Georgia and that I cant keep it in my room, my excitement turned to indignation, and I threw quite a tantrum. After crying for a bit, I calmed down and settled to sharing it with Georgia. She wouldnt be using it much anyways, I told myself.

Why is he entitled to it and not Georgia?

Indignation? Really?

You're shocked a man who shot a bunch of strangers before killing himself is selfish?

My experience during Middle School really darkened my view of the world, and it would only get darker from then on, as I suffered more and more. The way I was treated by girls at this time, especially by that evil bitch Monette Moio, sparked an intense fear of girls. The funny part of this is that I had a secret crush on Monette. She was the first girl I ever had a crush on, and I never admitted it to anyone. To be teased and ridiculed by the girl I had a crush on wounded me deeply. The world that I grew up thinking was bright and blissful was all over. I was living in a depraved world, and I didnt want to accept it. I didnt want to give any thought to it. That is why I immersed myself entirely into my online games like World of Warcraft. I felt safe there.

Looks like this Monette really traumatized him.

Ms Moios father said his daughter was devastated at being mentioned in the manifesto, which Rodger titled: My Twisted World: the Story of Elliot Rodger.

She was ten years old for God's sake - she can barely remember the guy, John Moio told the Mail Online. "He's a sociopath. She hasn't seen him since school.

She's devastated over the whole thing. It's like she's being implicated in this terrible tragedy for something she hasn't done and can't remember.

How is a ten-year-old girl going to bully a 12-year-old boy? he asked. My daughter was not a bully, she's one of the sweetest people you could ever meet.

Poor Monette.

Isn't his family rich? Why not buy two PS2s?

Cause if that type of mentality is why you're not rich.

Was that the nice guy killer?

Oh my god. Are they for real?

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/fox-news-expert-says-homosexual-impulses-could-have-caused-spree-9435080.html

A guest speaker on Fox News has suggested that Santa Barbara shooter Elliot Rodger could have been acting upon homosexual impulses when he targeted his victims.

Why even invite someone like that on national TV?

why are you looking up so much about this dude on a saturday morning 4 years after the shooting?

Probably wanted to teach him how to share or be less spoiled/entitled or whatever.

I just randomly thought about him. I was reading an article on Justin Trudeau. Then I just got to think about his dad, whose name was Pierre-Elliott and my brain made the association with this guy. And since I have nothing better to do while the workers install my Tempo, I felt like looking him up again

Beginning to think this Elliot Rodger guy was some sort of entitled asshole.

Yeah.

The first time I read through his manifesto, I was expecting to feel sorry for a kid who got traumatized and mistreated so badly that he snapped. But that wasn't really the case. He was just a psycho who hated everyone. Then I felt stupid for ever feeling any sympathy for the guy after what he did. Meh.

Y'all out here still reading that manifesto? Damn

They're obsessed with him because to them he represents the ultimate confirmation bias of their belief that misogynists/incels/etc. are all terrorists waiting to happen.

I mean, his dad hired a dating coach to help him out. The dating coach tried to encourage Elliot to compliment a girl.

Now, I would kind of understand if Elliot's response was "but... I'm too shy to compliment her..."

But no.

Elliot's response was "why should I compliment her? It's her that should compliment me!"

Like, what the fuck. This guy went into rage because girls didn't fall into his lap. He threw coffee at random people and tried pushing people off cliffs. He was completely off his rocker.

And he was pretty racist too. He made some pretty awful posts on an online forum about a black guy he saw with a blonde girl.

Confirmation bias? You really think that?

I would think that for most people it's probably more morbid curiosity than anything else. Kind of like how traffic slows down when there's an ambulance at a crash scene on the other side.

He's a narcissistic psycho/sociopath. He's nothing particularly new or interesting. Everyone who goes on a shooting rampage has their own flavor of the same backstory.

I read the manifesto when it happened. His main problem with women is that he refused to approach them. His strategy was to stand around and hope girls just came to him, which basically never happens unless you're incredibly attractive, and even then...

Honestly, I think a lot of people who feel bad for him would be shocked if they knew what was really going on in his mind.

His problem was that he was an entitled racist piece of shit who thought girls should've been swarming all over him, being the 'supreme gentleman', over those damn black and hispanic people

That too. My point was if he actually approached women himself and didn't act like an entitled pussy he probably could have gotten laid. He wasn't a bad looking guy

His parents actually tried to help him, but it was no use. He was too far gone.

It really does. He would have certainly been an avid Trump supporter if he was alive

This is really sad:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/may/30/elliot-rodger-puahate-forever-alone-reddit-forums

It was a space given to flamewars and trolling, but they saw Rodger posting things like Men shouldn't have to look and act like big, animalistic beasts to get women. The fact that women still prioritize brute strength just shows that their minds haven't fully evolved; Women are not drawn to indicators of evolutionary fitness. If they were, they'd be all over me; and Never insult the style of Elliot Rodger. Im the most stylish person in the world. Just look at my profile pic. Thats just one of my fabulous outfits. The sweater Im wearing in the picture is $500 from Neiman Marcus.

This guy was just too far gone like Crimson said. Indicators of evolutionary fitness? What?

Are you sure? I mean this has been the stereotype of this board forever but it seems way more like a Boogeyman/punching bag. The vast majority of posters on this board hold views like yours, that the stereotypical misogynist entitled troubled suburban white kid is to be trashed on relentlessly.
