He lived with his father and his Moroccan step-mother (who he despised) after his parent's divorce. In the time leading up to his rampage, he wrote the lengthy manifesto/autobiography [[My Twisted World|''My Twisted World'']].

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.

Rodger’s manifesto never mentioned the word “incel” directly, though he spoke at length of his envy of other men’s sexual success and his sexual frustration. He only used the term “incel” a couple of times to self-identify in his internet posting career. | Rodger’s manifesto never mentioned the word “incel” directly, though he spoke at length of his envy of other men’s sexual success and his sexual frustration.

He | He spend some of this forum time in the anti-pick-up artist culture and websites tangentially related to dating, such as bodybuilding.com and PUAhate, where he vented his sexual frustrations. He also likely posted on an online forum "Teenspot", a social networking site for teens under his "ElliotR1" alias. In his posts on the forum he requested users rate his attractiveness and asked them what their perceptions of his ethnicity were. "ElliotR1" was enraged by the response by the forum's users to his thread, as some stated that he looked "Mexican" and was a "5.5/10". He was accused of creating several alt accounts to flame users and give himself false ratings. However, some accounts purporting to be female, seemingly established users on the website, did give him high ratings.<ref>https://archive.vn/MOZwv</ref> Some users opined that his [[Dark triad#Vulnerable_narcissism|narcissism and sensitivity to criticism]] were the reason he couldn't get a girlfriend. | ||

He began his massacre by viciously stabbing his three Chinese male roommates (one of which he had quarreled with previously due to the roommate’s alleged theft of his candles).
