'''Elliot Rodger''' (alias: The Supreme Gentleman), or '''ER''', was a [[HAPA]] [[incel]] of Chinese and British descent, who is most notable for being the perpetrator of the 2014 Isla Vista massacre. | '''Elliot Rodger''' (alias: The Supreme Gentleman), or '''ER''', was a [[HAPA]] [[incel]] of Chinese and British descent, who is most notable for being the perpetrator of the 2014 Isla Vista massacre. Rodger's life story and personal views have been prominently cited by the media as an example of an "incel hero"<ref>https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-43892189</ref> who preceded what they seek to portray as a coherent "incel movement".<ref>https://www.vice.com/en/article/bvnw3d/incels-elliot-rodger-misogyny-far-right</ref> | ||
In the course of his short life, Rodger claimed to have suffered from a general lack of attention from [[women]] (partially, but not entirely, ascribed to his [[shyness]]), sexual frustration, and [[bully|bullying]] and mistreatment from his peers. He was shy around women and, according to [[My Twisted World]], his autobiography and "manifesto" he did not seem to seriously romantic approach one in person. He claims to have been mostly "ignored" by women throughout his life,<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Elliot_Rodger's_online_posts#bodybuilding.com</ref> and he noted that he was bullied by other boys in high school for being shy around women.<ref>https://archive.org/details/MyTwistedWorld/page/n45/mode/2up?q=faggot</ref> The principal at his former high school described Rodger as "shy, socially awkward and very bright [...] Everything about him was soft-spoken, polite, a gentleman, very courteous. Just everything about him.”<ref>https://www.dailynews.com/2014/05/25/santa-barbara-shooting-suspect-was-soft-spoken-polite-a-gentleman-ex-principal-says/</ref> | In the course of his short life, Rodger claimed to have suffered from a general lack of attention from [[women]] (partially, but not entirely, ascribed to his [[shyness]]), sexual frustration, and [[bully|bullying]] and mistreatment from his peers.

Similarly, [[Alek Minassian]]'s personal story is generally glossed over in media stories pertaining to his massacre (instead generally focusing on his final internet post), as he was a horribly bullied autistic special needs student, talking about his story honestly and in detail would perhaps generate too much [[empathy]]. | Similarly, [[Alek Minassian]]'s personal story is generally glossed over in media stories pertaining to his massacre (instead generally focusing on his final internet post), as he was a horribly bullied autistic special needs student, talking about his story honestly and in detail would perhaps generate too much [[empathy]]. | ||

In the [[incelosphere]], the expression "go ER" is a [[meme]] used ironically to say "go commit a killing spree and die in the process, as Rodger did". | |||
