This widespread media interest in the attack, together with Rodger's pre-massacre Youtube videos showcasing his extreme narcissism (with many of his boasts becoming internet [[meme]]s, in particular, his claim to be "the supreme gentleman"), have combined to make Rodger probably the most notorious self-described incel in history to date. | This widespread media interest in the attack, together with Rodger's pre-massacre Youtube videos showcasing his extreme narcissism (with many of his boasts becoming internet [[meme]]s, in particular, his claim to be "the supreme gentleman"), have combined to make Rodger probably the most notorious self-described incel in history to date. | ||

Elliot was an unhappy member of [[PSL|PUAhate]], which was not a self-identified incel forum. The forum was originally started to “expose” members of the (then-burgeoning) pick-up artist industry. A particular focus was put on mocking and trolling PUA artists and posts from supposed “insiders” of the industry that were exposing the fraudulent business practices of many prominent PUAs, as well as claims that these pick-up artists were nowhere near as sexually successful (without paying for [[whore|whores]]) as they claimed to be. | Elliot was an unhappy member of [[PSL|PUAhate]], which was not a self-identified incel forum.
