[[Rebecca]], the former admin of [[IncelSupport]] thinks that Rodger was more a product of people's attitudes towards incels, rather than him being a reflection of incels behavior in general. In other words, she argues Rodger built his persona off of people's (highly-negative) opinion of incels (actually he seems to have built his persona based around the behavior he believed women liked, but in a "high class" way). Rebecca also tried to point out how cherrypicking violent celibates does not mean that inceldom is born from evil, as many (if not most) evil people have sexual partners. Claiming that mass killers who were incel were incel because they were evil is an example of a fallacious post-hoc rationalization.
