That's a situation in which his friend really needs to intervene because the shit he's spewing is entirely entitled and frankly disturbing. He talks about how he could have raped someone without her knowledge and the OP is just all "lol he'd never." Who the fuck thinks that crap let alone says it?

Honestly, the parallels and the timing are disconcerting

Well this is why I talked about assisting people in real life. Even a forum that's not supportive of someone's toxic ideas can feed into their persecution complex and "me vs the world." It's the kind of thing where it's much harder to lend any sort of constructive criticism at a person even if you want to (not that it's impossible but words on a page vs being able to take someone out with you, talk face to face, experience things with them is a whole other step up to dealing with their problems.) It's entirely possible he was beyond help but there are probably tons who can be assisted and just aren't.
He went on a killing spree. I wish this doesn't get 19 pages on forums. Because another outcast will emulate. But some people deserve to get slander. I don't think sterling is getting screwed over for being a demented racist. He has to be demented since he said magic Johnson did nothing for blacks. He was a racist slum lord billionaire that had quotas on black people. Had racist parties. Basically cnn la times etc have a vendetta on this guy.

I find it kinda weird how he was obsessed with girls but decided to go on a killing spree rather than trying to rape a girl. Those videos were really creepy.

So gross to see people blaming MRA for this.

Yes a mentally disturbed person

Who had access to weapons wtf

Commits a horrible crime.


And you blame a subreddut that is 50% "men are victims of domestic violence/rape as well" 40% mocking fat feminist tumbles/non violent rants and 10% kinda creepy shit.


Yeah I'm sure you picked the right cause you dumb fucks.

Meanwhile singling out a female coworker at work and saying that you're going to rape her is also something that can just be brushed aside, and definitely not be brought to anyone else's attention!
 

Rest

All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
God, he was nuts. It's like the fedora joke plus insanity.

Mmhm, and we're supposed to just get over it and don't overreact because it's just a joke.

This is one of the most disturbing things I ever saw. And if he ever did get a woman, can you imagine the rage if they broke up!

The Bodybuilding Misc is incredibly toxic. The men are mean spirited towards women, but equally so to each other. Which is a little strange because some of the other forums there are great. The relationship forum, Female Misc, Over 35, those are all good. As for assisting the guy, the only way I could see it happening is with some good male role models. But I mean the guy got a gun and went on a shooting spree. Most people don't even think that way, let alone actually go and do it. I dunno if that's stoppable, but I'm no profressional.
 
lol That video. The forced evil villain laugh was even more cringe worthy than the rest of it.

He should have gotten a hooker if it was that bad. Dude was "fedora m'lady" to the max. "The perfect gentleman". Women don't want that. Not the women it seems like he was going after. He shoulda tried for a nerd chick. That's what I tell my virgin friends.
 
That's true actually. The more I look at this horrible, creepy chap it's probably closer to that crippling shyness and social 'distance' than anything else.

There are quite a few people who are uncomfortable and a bit creeped out by those who exhibit severe shyness and social distance.

What is scariest about this to me is how often you encounter similar opinions on the internet as this guy had. Some of it almost verbatim.
 
He should have gotten a hooker.

Would have not done anything. I honestly believe this dude didn't know what he wanted. Even if he did, it would have been on a plane of perfection unreachable by any human. If he had cheap sex, he'd be angry he didn't have love. If he had love, he'd be angry his lover wasn't as sweet, kind, loyal, etc. as some other guy's girlfriend. And so on. There was very little on the planet that could have satisfied him for long.

I believe this to be true. I am naturally a shy and quiet person and picked up that maybe some people were a little creeped out by my quietness. Maybe they wonder what is going on in my head? Well I know for a fact that's what they wondered because I often got that question. I have to force myself to be outgoing so that I can not only enjoy social situations more but also so that others won't think I'm strange and maybe they can enjoy my company as well. I think I'll always be fighting the shy side of me but being outgoing has gotten much easier over the years.

Yeah I can see that. You're probably right.

Turns out that the guy's parents reported him to the police a week ago because of his Youtube videos, but they found him "polite and kind", so nothing came out of that. Fuck.

There you go, that's the level of disconnect between him and his parents.

Also

Schifman said Rodger was diagnosed as being a high-functioning patient with Asperger syndrome and had trouble making friends.

"There was an incident probably a year and a half ago where he was...he fell from a balcony at a party or was thrown off of it. I think he was probably a victim from my understanding of bullying throughout his life... I'm sure that had played a role in the terrible consequences from last night," the lawyer said.

For those doubting his mental well being.

Shyness is often misinterpreted as rudeness. It's unfortunate because not only does the shy person struggle to connect to people but they sometimes get seen as aloof assholes and treated like shit because of it. Some people are so self centered that they take it as a personal insult when someones quiet around them.

If that article is accurate (multiple therapists, reporting the video) then I really feel for the family. Very few people would have the humility to admit their kids threats are out of control and go to the police.

This might even be what could have pushed him over the edge...falling out with his parents, which he would perceive as another part of "him vs the world" and meaning that he alienated absolutely everyone with nobody left to turn to.

If the police didn't take the signs seriously enough that might have been a serious error in judgment on their part. But seriously what could they have done? Lock him up in a mental hospital because of a few videos?

He didn't want sex, he wanted to be desired by women.

It doesn't surprise me one bit that Tumblr feminists are trying to blame MRA's for this.

You're being intentionally ignorant if you don't see the MRA influence in his videos. Then again, you just referred to "tumblr feminists" so whatever.
 
MRA or not the guy clearly had toxic ideas about consent, feminism and trouble viewing women as people.

Holy shit watching the video. This little fuck rag just seems pissed that he hasn't gotten laid. Fuck this guy, I spit on his (sexless, worthless, miserable) memory.

Would have been an absolutely toxic relationship. Pretty much impossible to make anything good with someone who barely views you as a human being, and I can't imagine any woman being with him unless she had some troubling views herself.

I've always thought of this as good advice.

The problem is a lot of guys desire a certain type of woman (the media and caring too much about what others think plays a huge role in this shit) and the cute nerdy girl doesn't fit the mold.

I have two friends who don't get laid and they both desire women I know are faaaaar out of their league. They want pro league girls and are barely even good enough to fuck with the ones in the minor leagues. It's so bizarre to me. They've set up this "idea" of what kind of girl they SHOULD have and they don't give any of the other girls they CAN get a chance, and their dicks stay dry because of it.
