Yo stop trying to get me to look at you naked. I don’t swing that way. That’s especially ironic because the thread is about Elliot and screwing females.
Brah, if you would just hit the gym and lift, maybe you too could get girls, or if you really like men, maybe get a lifting partner and satisfy your urges that way?
But it’s gotta start with you. You have to actually lift. Brah, improve yourself, lift weights!
Lol wow, a petition to label MRA a terrorist group. HAHA, even if he was a member of the MRA, one single person acting out the way he did doesnt warrant labeling the entire group as a terrorist group. If that was the case, christians and muslims are a terrorist group.
Lots of typing about feminism, misandry, etc… below. Spoilered it because srk is filled with retards who hate to read, and waste post telling everyone they didnt read your post. lol
[details=Spoiler]Im actually kinda shocked by the man hate getting thrown around with this case. I mean, it only takes one hour of reading MAX to realize this dude hated everyone that wasnt his family. I know only a small portion of feminist, and females in general are misandrist, but its always kind of scary to me that, thats an actual thing. Some of those women find themselves in the lime light now speaking to the public, hiding behind feminism, when they just actually truly hate men.
Can the internet be clear on feminism please, because most people in this country are feminist. Most people support womens rights, and equal rights in general. Most men dont look at their sister, daughter, niece, aunt, mother, grandmother, wife, girlfriend, and think, fuck these peoples rights that i love, MAN POWER. The sad and disturbing part of the feminist movement now, is it openly is allowed to preach hate and fear against men (all that stupid meme shit with beta males holding signs) with a fucking smile on its face, and if you call out any hypocrisies on equal rights that they may have (as a lot of stuff often doesnt come off as equal rights, more so, i want this right above men) , all of a sudden youre sexist, or misogynistic. Its like how idiots called you a racist or uncle tom for not supporting obama, as if you cannot objectively have any criticisms without being a racist or uncle tom. I mean, the stupidity, astounding.
As a black man in america, and a guy who has dealt with more shit from women then i care to even want to remember (and has never done a woman as dirty as they have done me. EVER), while still loving and supporting them after their bullshit, its pretty offensive to have all these hippy by choice suburban white females trying to man hate on us because some bro ass douchebag couldnt take no for an answer one night, or you got picked on for being fat, or you couldnt get a job at aeropostle because you werent hot enough. Fuck does that have to do with all of us as a whole. Some of them, their hatred is fueled no differently then a white person who gets robbed by a black person, and then just turns into a racist shit head for the rest of their life. The difference is, man hate is acceptable in society, and even cute. For a long time its been perfectly fine to shit on men on tv, movies, in person, and its like we’re now seeing the past few decades of that shit start to gain a lot more life, and i worry for young impressionable males and females who will have the internet as their third parent, reading and believing some of this nonsense, and it fucking up their social lives before they even get started.
Im not saying men havent played their part in the mess over time, but i feel like the more hostile side of the current feminist movement has got it all fucked up in how to handle womens rights, and support equal rights. Its almost kinda funny seeing white females hating on white males. If only i could go back 70 years, talk to a white guy, and be like, “You guys have no idea what is going to happen 70 years from now. You see that white girl over there bob, yeah, in the future she will hate your white privilege, and essentially you, come the latter part of the first decade in the 21st century. There will be a whole feminist movement that is nothing like the quality you see in feminism now, just mostly privileged young white girls, hating white men, and taking pictures with scrawny asian and white males who subscribe to their fear tactics and misandry. Misandrist are women who hate men, bob. Yup, thats kind of a thing, and its cute to shit on men, beat them in public, etc… See all this nice, classy shit going on here. Nope, not 70 years from now. Hell bob, i’ll have more of a chance fucking a white girl in my time, then you may have, with your proper haircut and polo tshirt. Oh yeah, they would hate the shit ouf of you.”. lol
Not to get too far off topic from elliot, but this is a part of it a little. Someone said it here, or in the lounge, that what if the “crazy feminist” are there to destroy the movement eventually. Plant that seed of hate, only to watch it go too far, fail in a major way, and feminism kinda just dies, as the world ends up frowning down upon the whole movement. lol. Feminism will never die, but the day a group of women go on a man hating killing spree in the name of feminism, and then leaders of the movement will have to defend that shit and all the nutbag females on the internet saying those guys probably deserved it, oh yeah, feminism will take a huge dive in popularity.
On a serious note though, its just sad. LIke really, gender hate in 2014 in the USA, as if we didnt hate enough shit about each other as a species already. I almost would fear being single and trying to date a non club/bar girl, because it seems this feminist shit is clouding the judgement of the non club/bar types that you might like to settle with, but fuck jumping through hoops about how i talk, what i support, what i believe in, because you turned yourself into a man hater. But im black, so if a white/asian girl ever tries to come at me with some feminist woes, i’ll destroy all her genders problems with african/black american history. Hold those domestic disputes, lack of voting, contractors whistling at you,etc… , you didnt get dragged, beaten, and set on fire because you were a girl, and dont bring up the salem witch trials, because although fewer, men were executed and accused of witchcraft then too. But i digress before i get too into all that. [/details]
Ok so im about at the end of the manifesto, yeah his lack of parenting was an issue, as well as his best and only surviving friend also being unsuccessful. In elementary he was fine until like 4th grade then he started to get jealous, middle school he hated everything in 7th grade, high school his life changed once he saw porn and started jacking off, he wanted a girl so bad, and didn’t understand how guys around him got girls, and they teased him for being odd.
This is also round the time when his narcissism stars developing. He was overly fascinated with girls and sex, and from his point of view it wasn’t even the social media pressure of getting laid, he felt bad because he deemed every dude unworthy of getting girls, so the fact that he wasn’t getting any made him FEEL LIKE SHIT. But as I see this he never makes any effort to socialize with dudes or girls. I know some of that fear of approaching/rejection, but his steemed from his odd mix of ego and also bad feeling of self worth, He started telling his fbest friend about how much he hated normal and popular people, and raged because even though his friend wasn’t getting laid either, he can’t understand why his friend isn’t pissed at all either. Im in the final part where he talks of his time at the college ,he hated all his roommates, the first 2 he had mocked him, and the 2nd one he was cool with, but didn’t understand how that dude managed to get a girl.
This is odd, because if his parents fucking raised him, or if he learned to socialize atleast back in middle school when the “cool kids” did reach out to him at first, this could’ve been prevented. I know dudes who are weird i guess, but they just don’t initate, once you get to tknow them they are fine, The strange part of this is, there are lots of dudes like him are bitter as fuck because they can’t get girls, and don’t realize that they aren’t socializing, so what i don’t get is what made him so extreme to act and kill. Because alot of these loser type dudes do also have egos in the sense that they feel that every popular dude is beneath them
I have mixed feelings about the hashtag. I could be down for it, but I’m not sure if this case is really rightfully fit to meet some of the intentions. That’s not terribly important though. Stories get spun all the time. My biggest problem is the fact that the representation is odd and over generalizing. The generalizing has that “pig men, ‘the only word I know is misogynist,’ vibe”
I’ve read as many tweets as I could and basically 90% of it is"men are evil,men are rapist, men are abusers."
Keep in mind these all range from catcalling to women complaining they are afraid to reject men out of fear. The point seems to be that women are always in constant fear of the all the deadly,murderous rapey men around them.
1 of them compared men to sharks which actually got called out due to the fact that sharks act on instincts thus inadvertently excusing men of their crimes…I’m she didn’t think the analogy through in all fairness.
Empowering young boys? What are you, some kind of chauvinist bent of replenishing the patriarchal herd? You pig!
Many innovators or will-be greats have and will come from poor households. Being a “high achiever” is often a fluffy and intangible goal when society creates substandard conditions to get anywhere in life. Colleges are debt factories, politicians and corporations are working hard to spread disinformation and kill anything geared towards social progress. What everyone views as an “achievement” is wholly subjective anyways.
WE GOT A BINGO!
Let’s think about this- how many disgruntled, racist, sexist, or entitled people exist in our society, or even in your vicinity on a daily basis? I’m sure quite a lot. Now how many of them seek mass murder as an answer to whatever they believe is a problem? Virtually none.
The issue lies not solely on what “niche” Elliot Rodger fits in, but his mental state. He was severely mentally ill, for much of his life. Judging by the obtuse and infantile way he viewed the world, his mental development and social awareness were severely stunted, and it eventually coalesced into a pure narcissism- in order to give himself a veneer of confidence he never truly had. Everything he did was not to appear “normal” but to be “ideal.” Anyone viewed as potentially better, or unable to trot down to his level of accessibility was seen as a threat to his ego. In contrast, most socially awkward/ high-spectrum autistics are more concerned with fitting in, rather than being better than everyone. His complexes made him seek a misogynistic, genocidal, narcissistic path, and sought outlets to share his warped reality in various social online groups; I saw no evidence that those internet groups were fostering his ideas, only that he was seeking validation through any source, and when confronted with any sort of real advice or opposition, he chose to ignore it in favor of finding validation somewhere else.
What is also conveniently ignored is how his sense of self was tied to his ever-shifting view on racial identity. A view where his mother’s own racial background was seen as inferior, including all other non-white races; and any closeness to “whiteness” was exalted when attributed to him. However, when Caucasians were seen as threatening to his own ego, a man being white was seen as competition, and being of mixed heritage with his issues made him even more confused as to where he fit in society. In his absurd mind, he had a sadly honest viewpoint of how racial hierarchy is perceived society’s subconscious; and without a real sense of self, he used superficialities to govern every aspect of his sad existence.
The second problem lies with the media, and the American sense of identity overall. American society and niche social groups are more focused on creating false ideals and then knee-jerk reactionary “solutions” to problems that haven’t even been fully hashed out yet. Then you have politicians trying to siphon votes from the various groups by getting airtime, all to suit their own agenda. In the end, further destroying any backbone the original arguments had, many of which could have been valid talking points once the dust settled. So eventually all this creates an orgy of ratings-bait “conversations” until the incident is no longer buzzworthy and the media outlets switch to another “unforeseen tragedy.”
“How can we make sure this never happens again?!” is the venting question from most pundits in the event of any calamity. Well the reality is, we can’t. Statistically, living in a society with the freedoms we have, “freedoms” brought on by a need to fit social and capitalistic ideals, we can never prevent incidents like these from occurring. Based on the killer’s lifestyle and background, no one the outside of his very limited social sphere could ever suspect how insane he was, and with the level of personal boundaries we have in a society (especially those with affluence) he was likely to go under the radar. The one factor that could’ve changed all of this were his willfully blind parents; they failed to genuinely nurture him or do real damage control once his mind truly went off the deep end.
Sadly, there is another Eric Harris, Dylan Klebold, Seung-Hui Cho, Adam Lanza, and Elliot Rodger lying in wait; and there isn’t going to be anything the average citizen- or anything short of a police state can do to prevent them from creating another pointless tragedy.
Well I am still reading through this. But it seems like his step-mother was a major issue for him. And yes he was mentally imbalanced. I don’t know when he sees a psychiatrist, but it could be late and it could be that the psychiatrist wasn’t a good one.
So far I’m still in his childhood, he’s up to middle school now, and things aren’t that bad for him. His step-mother is an absolute bitch, and it’s surprising he doesn’t go and just kill her. His father is an utter failure. His mother actually I don’t think was an issue. But I guess I’ll find out more. I should have read this awhile ago I suppose. I find it rather interesting.
I know I’ve read a lot of great people like reading biographies. I believe Bill Clinton mentioned it and a few others. I might head down to my library and actually borrow some books, something I haven’t done for a long time. This Elliot Rodger manifesto is one of the better new things I’ve read recently. He really goes into his own mindset and to me it’s extremely intriguing. So much so that I likely will not sleep tonight.
Feel like im spoiling a book for you, but he started seeing psychiatrists [details=Spoiler]When he pretty much went “Fuck it. I am doing it.” Mode when he should have been seing them at first signs of trouble like breaking down into tears for no reason multiple times.[/details]
(Vishnu Christ, @FengShuiEnergy. Your actual name is noted, but never quote that much again. You too @Serpent. I’ve edited both of your posts where you quoted me and fishijie respectively.)
200+ more posts in one day? Well, I can’t say that I’m really surprised given most people had the past two days off and this didn’t overshadowed by Memorial Day; thankfully it didn’t overshadow Memorial Day either.
Meanwhile, I’m just going to play catch-up here before I go back and reply to some things that weren’t in the four pages that were just added recently.
To be fair, I waited since I’m actually not that interested in this story since, unfortunately, we’ll doubtless be talking about at least one more mass-shooting before this year is over. I also wasn’t surprised or affected by it, so…
That said, since you showed up, I’ll say that I remembered that I still need to PM you, so I’ll be doing that by tomorrow (Wednesday) finally.
Nah, he would have killed someone eventually given his personality and what TheBlackHombre explained. The fact that he felt slighted by any and everything and felt himself king of the universe made it pretty inevitable unless he died before he could kill someone. Guy was basically a sociopath with paranoia and pride issues; if that’s not a recipe to kill someone eventually, I don’t know what is.
Uh…he was being himself. That was kind of the problem here. “Be yourself” doesn’t go anywhere when “yourself” fucking sucks in actuality, even before what Manx and everyone else explained about how “be yourself” is shitty, tautological advice that rarely actually helps outside of movies and other fiction. On top of that, given people lie about themselves and to themselves all the damn time for the sake of social interaction, particularly of the romantic kind,…yeah.
…I have no idea what the fuck this is in response to with regards to what I’ve said in here as of yet; if you could enlighten so.
Trust me, though, I’m not underestimating the power of the current pro-women people who masquerade under the guise of “feminism” when they really wants superiority instead of equality.
No no you are misreading the data. The data doesn’t say that if you grew up in a single mother household you have for example 80% chance to become something bad X. The data just takes all the people who became something bad X and shows that 80% of them grew up in a single mother household.
But the bottom line is that the presence of the father is crucial for a child, and it’s a disservice for the public to ignore this and keep maintaining policies that keep creating the problem. You won’t hear Obama or any other politician say something like “oh hey guys listen we’ve checked the facts and came to a conclusion that we need to re-design how the welfare system works. I’m really sorry for our past fuckup and we are now going to fix it” because they’d rather sell bullshit lies to get them easy votes for the next election rather than actually doing their jobs and fixing the issues.
No one is talking about bad parents, or abusive parents. That’s a DIFFERENT issue. I’m talking about normal parents who are absent, either because they were coerced into being parents for because the state doesn’t allow them to get near their children for some bullshit excuse.
No. Maybe a good analogy would be nutrition. You can die or get severe brain damage if you don’t get enough of certain vitamins as an infant, but that doesn’t mean that the vitamins you did get were bad.
The only way the mother is a “problem” is with her part in creating the bad situation to begin with. How she actually functions as a mother is another thing.
Still reading this great novel. Best novel probably in the past 30 years! I keep expecting that all of this is some virile campaign for this book even though I know it isn’t.
Anyway I got a huge chuckle out of something he mentions around page 76 or so. Sorry, dunno how to link the images or I’d do it for you guys.
He mentions his high sex drive and how he usually masturbates every other day.
LOL
Every other day? That’s it? In my hormone driven teenage years, I’d jack off multiple times a day. Hell, I’d masturbate, fuck a girl, and then masturbate again. It’s not like sex stopped my masturbation, it actually only increased it. Then he mentions going without masturbation for 7 days is a big deal. Again at those younger ages, it is indeed a big deal, and I even remember The Damned being in I believe the First Prince of Masturbation tournament, where he very likely lied and cheated to win. Because all men masturbate, at least until they get older, and things diminish, or when they’re really poor, and your sex drive diminishes with that too.
How does he find all these couples and everything anyway. All these 14 year old boys having sex? haha yeah right. And he believes the WoW trolls that say they were having sex? Yep, that’s what you do with an active sex life, you brag about it on WoW. Come on.
I wonder just how smart this kid actually was. I’m not so smart anymore, age is taking its toll, but I had a pretty high IQ when I was younger and went to gifted schools as a result. This kid keeps insisting he’s really smart, but I think he overestimates himself. I guess that is where the real issue comes from, he believes everyone on their sex claims, puts himself above menial work (a retail job would have helped him tremendously, my first job was at The Gap and I met a lot of girls there myself), and obsesses ridiculously about sex. He even has a friend that is an admitted virgin, if he had more friends he probably would have realized that a lot of young men really do not have sex until they’re older. Awkward young men are kind of the norm. I know countless guys that don’t succeed with the opposite sex well into their 20s, usually not until they get their first job and start interacting through that. Well first real job, retail would have helped him socially but not likely with a female.
He gives up too quickly on stuff. Lifting weights works, but you can’t just quit after 2 weeks. If he lifted for at least 2 months that would have started to really help him too probably. Obviously he has social anxiety, he needed a psychiatrist pretty early on. And for his hobby, he should have stuck with skateboarding. We played fighting games growing up ourselves, and there were lots of people that weren’t good or capped out on potential at a pretty low level. But it didn’t matter, as long as you had fun playing and enjoyed the group you were playing with.
His dad is a dick and an absentee. Also I didn’t think it was legal to just cut off child support, I hear so many stories of men who can’t pay and then get chased around in court for it and forced to pay, but this guy just chose to cut child support off entirely and he just could do so? That’s weird. His step-mom is a total bitch too.
Man these people with their problems. Most of us have dealt with a lot of shitty stuff too, but we all keep going in our lives. These problems though…they’re like…white people problems. Like a drama show on TV. It’s just pretty absurd the problems and the failure, while pretending things are going great.
I still think this guy reminds me of Krang. I guess he will self defeat himself over the PUA stuff too, because this is a drama and that’s what characters do in a drama. But I’m up to Season 3 of his story so far I think, and it’s interesting to see what happens next! It’s like an all night run through the first 3 seasons!
