His last post there (and anywhere on the internet) read: “Puahate is full of stupid, disgusting, mentally ill degenerates who take pleasure in putting down others.” <ref>https://www.independent.com/2015/02/20/elliot-rodger-report-details-long-struggle-mental-illness/</ref> His shooting resulted in [[PSL| PUAhate’s]] closing, soon replaced by the site “Sluthate,” which had a significant overlap in users. | His last post there (and anywhere on the internet) read: “Puahate is full of stupid, disgusting, mentally ill degenerates who take pleasure in putting down others.” <ref>https://www.independent.com/2015/02/20/elliot-rodger-report-details-long-struggle-mental-illness/</ref> His shooting resulted in [[PSL| PUAhate’s]] closing, soon replaced by the site “Sluthate,” which had a significant overlap in users. | ||
It is likely that Rodger edited Wikipedia under the handle “ElliotR1”, which is a handle he used on other sites.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk%3A2014_Isla_Vista_killings%2FArchive_1</ref> “ElliotR1” was banned from Wikipedia for vandalizing pages relating to pop star Justin Bieber (then a sex symbol to young women), sexual activities such as the entries for “footjob” and “fellatio”, and the article on his grandfather, British photojournalist George Rodger. The influence that browsing bodybuilding.com and PUAhate had on Rodger’s mentality may also be indicated by the ElliotR1 user’s vandalism of the pages for the male model Simon Nessman and the short-lived bodybuilder and internet meme Aziz Shavershian (zyzz). Zyzz was worshipped on bodybuilding.com’s misc subforum as a man who possessed the ideal ‘aesthetic’ physique and Nessman was commonly portrayed as an archetypal ‘Chad’ by certain users on the PUAhate forum and its successor Sluthate. These edits, if indeed put through by Rodger as seems to be the case, offer a further indicator of the envious rage he directed towards sexually successful and handsome men. | It is likely that Rodger edited Wikipedia under the handle “ElliotR1”, which is a handle he used on other sites.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk%3A2014_Isla_Vista_killings%2FArchive_1</ref> “ElliotR1” was banned from Wikipedia for vandalizing pages relating to pop star Justin Bieber (then a sex symbol to young women), sexual activities such as the entries for “footjob” and “fellatio”, and the article on his grandfather, British photojournalist George Rodger.

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 on [[PUAhate]]. | 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.
