Cause of La Vista Massacre

(1/2) > >>

BloodcatNS:
As you may have already known, back on May 23, 2014 there was a massacre at Isla Vista, California, killing 6 and injuring 13. The event was perpetrated by none other than Elliot Rodger, son of the assistant director of Hunger Games, Peter Rodger.

Earlier back, Elliot had already expressed his frustrations on not being able to get "beautiful women", blaming it on society, "hedonistic men", and even women as a whole.

Take a peak at some of his videos. Pathetic as it may seem at that time, it's actually pretty scary.

Here's his manifesto prior to the killings. [link]

Where am I getting at? I've seen posts arguing whether the cause of the massacre is his alleged mental illness or a really bad misogynist influence that's enough to encourage this kind of behavior. If it's the former, could it have been prevented or suppressed, at least? If it's the latter, where did he get it? Could be both, sure but really, which of the two had the bigger impact?

Seems to me that he's just an emotional little brat

Misogyny is fucking everywhere. Women are constantly objectified, and we're viewed as nothing more than trophies.
Sexism is rampant and it is a huge problem and the only people who can change that don't give a fuck because they're asshole older men.

"Beautiful" women are the only women that are inherently given any value in society. It is WRONG and it needs to fucking STOP but nobody cares what ugly bitches have to say, right?

In a sense there is some legitimacy as far as that's how he felt, but mental illness probably deserves the majority of the blame. This country (United States) is downright horrible when it comes to mental illness, and how to deal with it. It's despicable that stigma still exists in this day and age. People still view mental illness as some sort of "weakness" when it's just like any other illness, except your brain is the part that's sick.

Get your shit together, United States.

I bet the main reason girls don't pay attention to him is because he's a stuck-up little snot.

Women constantly objectify penises though, forgetting that there's ~usually~ a person attached to them.
