You're probably wondering why a discussion now, when his murder-suicide happened so long ago? Well in additional to his massive manifesto, recently some new information regarding Elliot came out which explains his family situation as well as a bit more about how he thought of himself and others.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCNXEHIcHOs&list=PLXOY6LHThPAMESP5yrWEejxd1bN8Gmgvs

I think this case is really relevant to the anime community particularly cause I see a lot of people with similar thoughts on loneliness and bitterness and just hate towards other people. There are a few incel guys here who desperately want to get laid (just hire an escort), usually with someone that "loves" them. I just feel like there is something that we can learn from this and hopefully we can take some steps to make sure something like this never happens again. In the leaks it is also revealed that Elliot has autism and obviously was going through a terrible family situation with his parent's divorce and was being manipulated quite heavily by his mother.

So what are your thoughts on the new info and the Elliot Rodger case in general?

Booo enough about this fucking kid! He did a very bad thing, no amount of study into his personal life will explain how and why he thought himself worthy of taking a stranger's life...

At the risk of sounding like an old church lady... that boy had a demon in him...

Yeah so a lousy upbringing combined with his autism. Pretty much killed his social skills and self image. Which leads to him blaming women for all his problems.

True, I do think Elliot has been given a bit of undeserved attention to his personal life, and Mumkey's obsession borders irrationality, but only because Elliot has become a representative of the Incel stereotype which seems to be quite common on some websites.


He's nothing but a black hole, it seems to me.

I didn't want to watch all that because I don't find anything interesting about him and that he is just a spoiled rich bitch but I decide to give it a go and after watching all those videos open mindedly that only made him sound even more like a self entitled spoiled brat. He thinks everyone owes him everything he asks for. I in no way relate to him. His family sometimes didn't handle his autism/aspergers and general dickishness that well though so obviously that didn't help but at least they tried but Elliot put out no sign of effort on his part. It was hard to hear some of the things Elliot said without bursting out in laughter but it really didn't help how that Youtuber was reading it.

Elliot Rodger should have taken the thot destroying route, instead, he stayed a virgin forever.

elliot rodger does not share similar traits to the common person. yes, loneliness and isolation occurs to every human to some extent at some point in life but he was also very mentally ill/psychotic. anyone who feels they can relate to him is someone who needs to take care of themselves and need to seek help. i personally don't think this relates to anime at all but i haven't seen this video and this stuff is interesting to me so thx OP

Because watching too much mature anime can lead you to be murderer or be psychotic.

his dad was pathetic and actively contributed to elliot turning out the way he did.
growing up the way he did around that kind of culture and people i don't know how he didn't end up killing himself sooner. if i had to guess why,i'd say that it was because he wasn't always that specific way, and his aspergers/depression?/whatever problems he had only got worse the few years before the shooting.
if you read the manifesto thing, you'll see how progressively worse his mentality gets from when he was in his early teens until the end.

Oh maybe, maybe it's the clothes we wear
The tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair
Or maybe, maybe it's our nowhere towns or our nothing places
But we're trash, you and me
We're the litter on the breeze
We're the lovers on the streets
Just trash, me and you
It's in everything we do
It's in everything we do
