what in the world does puahate and not getting girls have anything to do with video games????

“You’re looking at someone who’s unhinged. In a culture that legitimizes violence against women — whether it’s video games or pornography — this violence is sexualized,” said Gail Dines, a professor of sociology and women’s studies at Wheelock College.

Whenever anything tragic happens, you can be sure someone is bound to use it as an excuse to jump on their favorite soapbox.

you have got to be fucking kidding me. someone ban this piece of shit right now.

Why so emotive? I wrote it, because I thought that your media are willing to put any distrubing footage, as long as they get fancy viewer numbers. But all, I can see in this thread, is some stupid music video and then some guy (the suspect) ranting in a car. Does not sound like a news material to me.

Jesus Christ, what a MASSIVE bellend. Up until I had met my girlfriend (now fiancee), I had only had sex twice. Once when I was eighteen on a lads holiday to Kavos with a 12st+ lady which was not all enjoyable, and then at the age of twenty-four with a alright looking girl in Swansea city, a notorious place to go on the Piss.
Then I met my soul mate when I was twenty-six. And I've been happy ever since. The guy needed to realise that there's someone for everyone. And if he was that desperate, why not visit a lady of the night? As Mr Chris said, what an entitled prick. No wonder all the ladies stayed away.

So the murder of six people is only newsworthy if there's footage of the murder. Nice.

these two statements contradict each other. With a personality like his, do you really think there is someone for him??

i got my first kiss at twenty-five. people say getting kissed is better than it really is. the emotions need to be there, and people fail to realize that.

I also think anyone without a negative personality can get dates. It's going to be harder for some than others, but you don't need to be captain of the football team to get a date with a girl.

Also, late bloomers can have some of the happiest relationships out there.

That is what your media think.

Yeah, I'm pretty poor on making my point, but what I meant is that there is a someone for anyone, but with his attitude maybe he wouldn't be able to find anyone unless his attitude changed. And I agree completely on the negative attitude part.
About the late bloomers, I believe that too, as now me and my fiancee are expecting our first child together, a decision we both agreed on. Our relationship has been really good, and we both not only love each other, but genuinely care for each other. I believe that I wouldn't be so mature if I had met her when I was 18, still trying to live it up. She herself has also admitted that we might not have lasted if we had met young, and we're just happy we met when we did. Sure, we wax lyrical about not going away together, or not going to so many parties/dates etc, but it doesn't matter as were happy as we are.

Does anyone know who's gun and BMW it was?

What makes you think that? They're not even allowed to show boobs on US broadcast tv.

Bare no. But every reality show and entertainment news broadcast is just all boobs.

i personally decided to start dating last year at 25 years old. i felt like i was mature enough at that time.

it's possible to get dates even with autism (albeit much harder). it all depends on your personality and attitude.

I call bullshit. No way a guy can drive a BMW, go to UCSB, and be the son of someone in the film business and be a virgin at 22.

If you act like enough of a creep, you can turn just about ANY woman away! I'm betting this guy was well beyond "socially awkward" when he was "trying to get some". As some else stated, he's like a Batman villain..

Plus, he was the most egotistical, narcissistic sociopath ever. He seriously believed that he was God's gift to humanity. In one of his videos, he describes himself as the "perfect man" and "magnificent." He also said in his deranged 141 page manifesto that in a perfect world, he would be ruler of the world. Someone with an ego that huge surely would have problems getting women.

After reading a few bits of his cringeworthy memoirs I can believe it.

Others are doing a better job of mocking them than I can possibly manage.

The problem here is that mentally ill people almost never realize they're mentally ill. Generally the parents should have already made that judgement call by the time their child is 20 - If they're worth a damn, that is.. Society in general, all around the world, should be putting more of an emphasis on love and caring, rather than being 16 and pregnant™. I'm debating whether or not to have a child because I'm worried about the state of his/her potential peers in the near future.. I'm not religious or anything, but what many can agree are "wholesome values" are being thrown down the tube at an alarming rate since bullshit media like Kim Kardashian's ass size and the youngest parent on record make dat moneh. People who can make some cash never seem to care for the future of the species so long as they have their way with their short time on this rock.

This is honestly one of the better things I've read here and wholly agree with.

Wangsty about sex? Porn and pillows are a fine substitute for the real thing while waiting imo. Bit messy, however.

Or maybe hire a prostitute?

I knew someone in college that was a 400 lbs fatty that used to do the whole prostitute thing. He said it was great, because he spent the same money on prostitutes per week that he would a real girlfriend per week. We all laughed at him, but his logic was sound. Now he's a lawyer with more money to spend. He lost all the weight and still believes in the prostitutes.

Linked site in this thread:
“You’re looking at someone who’s unhinged. In a culture that legitimizes violence against women — whether it’s video games or pornography — this violence is sexualized,” said Gail Dines, a professor of sociology and women’s studies at Wheelock College. “When you hear something like this, he’s picking up on cultural cues that women are less than him and don’t deserve to live.”

these studies sicken me, this is what's wrong with the west, making false claims that video games and pornography cause this. This is psychology nor science this is a scapegoat which has nothing to do with anything that ever happened here.

The actual truth which grounds itself in real psychology is the fact that a well functioning and standard human will always know that games and movies are not reality, so the chance they would be influenced by them into acting them out is as good as zero unless something severely drastic happened in their life.

You can make any healthy man or woman watch porn or video games all day and they will never become psychopaths or insane.

take japan its extreme pornography videos and games by example while that country is one of the high rankers on the peace index, and safer than many western countries.

- *curseword* that 'videogames' and 'porn' cause this bullshit.

Yeah, brilliant idea, suggest that the violent psychopath who apparently doesn't believe women are people should hire a prostitute. Yeah, there's absolutely no way that could go horribly, horribly wrong. The guy's inability to get laid wasn't the problem here - you do get that, right? This isn't some natural progression from his sexual frustration - like oh, damn, we should've seen this coming, and made sure the dude got laid before it became too much for him.

No, for whatever reason, whatever was going on upstairs, this guy had some seriously warped violent machinations twisting in his brain, and for whatever reason, his frustration with women happened to be the most salient problem in his life at the time his mind snapped like a twix bar. I seriously think if he had gone the "see a prostitute" route, that wouldn't really have helped anything and we'd be dealing with a string of dead prostitutes.

Somehow I grew up on hardcore porn, rated R movies, Doom, Mortal Kombat, heavy metal, Marilyn Manson, even Mario kills animals, with guns in my house and my parents gone 24/7 and yet I never killed anyone or picked up a gun. I have a few gun nut friends. Yet I made it out fine.

People do what they want. It is just as simple as that.

Sadly the guy that shot and killed 3 people in Chicago last night gets no news coverage outside of Chicago. Maybe his parents weren't famous enough or there weren't 6 people killed. Happy Memorial Day everybody!

long quote

I think principle of charity is useful here; the core point she is trying to make is within her quote:“When you hear something like this, he’s picking up on cultural cues that women are less than him and don’t deserve to live.”

Yes, it almost goes without saying that most of us, in our right minds, would not interpret pornography and violent video games as a 'big cause or reason' to commit misogynist acts, but psychopaths don't experience cognitive dissonance like we do, and are likely to justify their violent misogynist behaviours by referring to immanent 'cultural cues' (as the feminist pointed out). In this case, the shooter justified his actions of killing women on the basis that he was cementing his alpha male status. Almost like a player mindset with a very different kind of body count in mind.

you know he actually was autistic, do you?

but people with autism are no more likely to go on these rampages than normal people.

i wonder if he posted on wrongplanet

Ew, think of the possible diseases! Pillows can be washed in a machine. Put a prostitute in a machine and you get end up with a death or injury lawsuit.

Well, I have watched the video and i thought he acted as a friggin retard with his "60's Spiderman villain"-esque role. I personally believe showing emotions like that before killing people is completely unnecessary.
And believe it or not, i actually got myself to read his "mainfesto" (while skipping some seemingly unimportant parts of course).
Come to think of it, one part of me thinks he's just a richer, (SLIGHTLY) less retarded and armed version of Christian Weston Chandler (well known for Sonichu). But the other part thinks about it kinda like Marilyn Manson thought about Columbine. Some parts of his life, as Elliot himself wrote, were quite similar to mine. I will soon turn 20, and I never got far enough to talk to girls, let alone interact with them.
Still, that's a shitty excuse for gunning down a bunch of people. If I were him, i would AT LEAST choose a more sense-making reason. I just think about love more like as a priviledge (like a high position or a super device), NOT neccesity as he did.
As for Elliot himself, he's a fail. He failed as a lover, he failed as an alpha male as he claimed himself to be, and he failed as a mass killer (if compared). I just happen to be reading about this kraut named Tim Kretschmer. The guy did almost the same crap (although for different reasons), but he at least tried to put up a fight against the cops (proving him being more alpha and less pathetic, that is).
(And NO, i do not plan on killing anyone. I don't even have any firearms, and i doubt i can do it otherwise)

20? you got plenty of time. i know a few people who got their first kiss in their 30s. they are some of the happiest people i know, too.

@lasted bolded statement: the only reason needed for not killing is because it's wrong. it's immoral. it's evil.

Hmm... Thanks for stating the obvious. I never said killing is a good idea, and it is clear to me that 20 is way far from the end as a matter of fact. Just the status of surrounding people in that matter kinda bothers, but otherwise, it's fine enough...
