As news of the story broke, one of the first online reactions was from the so-called mental health support community, [[Social Anxiety Support]], which spontaneously erupted in multiple threads expressing [[sympathy]] for Elliot Rodger and his actions, exclusively from male users. The [[femoid|female]] users of [[Social Anxiety Support]] then started flaming the threads in their disgust at this reaction. | As news of the story broke, one of the first online reactions was from the so-called mental health support community, [[Social Anxiety Support]], which spontaneously erupted in multiple threads expressing [[sympathy]] for Elliot Rodger and his actions, exclusively from male users.

On the Puahate forum that he posted on occasionally, most of the initial reaction to the attack was comprised of the site's userbase arguing over the implications of Rodger's massacre on the future of the forum, due to Rodger's potential prior use of the forum (he used his real name as his handle on the site as well as several alt accounts that may have been his judging by the writing style), which was later confirmed by his mention of Puahate in his manifesto. | |||
The users of the forum differed as to what traits made Rodger incel, but generally concurred in their impression of (in their view) his effeminate mannerisms and general social awkwardness as being the most likely cause of his involuntary celibacy. One user wrote of Rodger (likely facetiously):{{Quote| He’s not “ugly” in layman’s terms, but he has no sex appeal. [[facial masculinity|Short lower third]] and [[fWHR|gay midface]], [[cutecel|with zero brow ridge]]. We must dig deeper [...] He should have gotten a hair-cut, [[thugmaxxing|aqcuired neck tattoos]] and [[dark triad|gone over the top with the sociopathic act]], that would have gotten him hotties. Unfortunately, like most on this site, he’s too aspie to realise it. Lock him up and throw away the key.<ref>https://www.businessinsider.com.au/ucsb-shooting-forum-associated-with-elliot-rodger-reacts-2014-5?r=US&IR=T</ref>}} | |||
