'''Elliot Rodger''' (July 24, 1991 – May 23, 2014) was an raging Asian narcissist who wrote the boring and horrible manifesto ''My Twisted World''. Elliot's [[inceldom]], or lack of female attention as a shy boy, drove him to do the 2014 Isla Vista shootings, where he killed 7 people. Elliot was a member of [[PSL|PUAhate]] and his shooting resulted in [[PSL|PUAhate's]] closing. Elliot Rodger's huge manifesto never once mentioned the word [[incel]], so he probably just was mostly a frustrated involuntary celibate than someone who chose to use the shortened word a lot. Out of thousands of posts across many websites he did use the word [[incel]] once or twice to self-identify in PUAhate forums, despite PUAhate not being a self-identifying [[incel]] board. Therefore, "incel culture", as we know it now wasn't really a big thing back then, and Elliot Rodger spent his social time in the anti-pick-up artist culture and the [[foreveralone]] subreddit. | '''Elliot Rodger''' (July 24, 1991 – May 23, 2014) was an raging Asian narcissist who wrote the boring and horrible manifesto ''My Twisted World''.

==Initial Internet Reaction== | |||
As news of the story broke, one of the first online reactions was from the mental health community [[Social Anxiety Support]] which spontaneously erupted in multiple threads of sympathy for Elliot Rodger. The [[femoid]] users of [[Social Anxiety Support]] then started flaming the threads in disgust at the reaction. | |||
