Story How did you feel/ what were your thoughts when ER went ER?

[iblamemyself]

Really curious. On May 23, in 2012, Elliot Rodger went on a killing spree and became famous. His videos and his manifesto were still online for the world to see.

I must admit I did not think much when it happened. Back then I was a troubled young incel. I had just finished school and was preparing my getaway from my hometown. I remember the sunny morning when I was in the kitchen with my mother and she told me someone in the US went on a spree. Yes, now that I think back I can remember it quite clearly again. She switched on the radio and sure enough, the radio people kept talking about it and had a minute of silence for all victims.

I watched a few youtube videos about him and the incident which were a bit biased. From their point of view Elliot was a sick, stuck up monster, not worthy of sympathy. I wanted to see videos of him to see for myself. As I got to know a bit more about him, I noticed that his struggles sounded a little bit like mine. I couldn't understand his point of few though, I was too inexperienced to get it. And I felt uneasy about him and chose to forget about it.

I didn't investigate sluthate and PUA hate as I thought it would have pulled me down, I didn't want to get too close to this killer's mind. What a pity. But I figured I couldn't afford negativity, I was preparing for my scariest adventure: leaving mom's basement to try my luck in some random town.

It was only after years of misery, rejections and seeing the adult world for what it is and how it works that I began to understand. I watched a few MGTOW videos and read a bit on TRP but couldn't see the appeal. I tried PUA and it was a disgusting experience. MGTOW sucked but it made sense.
Then came TFL and incels and I knew: this is where I fit in. The pieces of the puzzle came together. Elliot is hope. His actions are still shaping the world.

So... what's your story?

It didn't make the news here (massively) and I wasn't actively looking for it either. I was busy with graduating. Kinda wish I knew about it sooner though.

 

[Total Imbecile]

Ngl it made my day. I now get nostalgic every May.

Made mine too he sucked at killing tho was more about the gesture

 

[torujo]

i think i didnt care at all because i wasnt blackpilled

 

[IronMike]

The ER thing is what lead me to the MGTOW community

 

[Deleted member 6018]

I always get nostalgic during that time. Also,it happened in 2014.

 

[Not_Important]

Loved his videos, especially the ones where he was at a park and the ones where he was driving with 80s music in the background, they were comfy af tbh.
/r9k/ was fucking WILD in the weeks after Elliot's rampage, shit was great.
Looking back at it: Fantastic plan, philosophy, and manifesto, shit-tier execution.
Ignore my sig.

i was asleep in 2014

 

[deathgreetsmeslow]

I read about the story but I didn't view him as an incel at that point and had not fully swallowed the blackpill I was more mens rightish then

 

[Deleted member 1783]

The story made it to the school newspaper back when I was in HS. I didn't think much of it though, until I learned what an incel was and discovered the incel community last year. After googling him I was surprised that he did it, he was a complete fakecel with money and decent looks even though he was a short hapa.

 

[blackcel]

2014 was peak depression year for me. I was too depressed to give a shit.

sup my nigga?

in 2012 i was still in high school so i wasn't introduced to the blackpill back then

 

[obama]

I immediately looked his YT channel up. They reported in the news that he uploaded all his stuff and it made me curious. The idea of a murderer still having his videos online was just very interesting. Didn't know of any similar incident. I mean, he uploaded a 140 page long manifesto and a video message before he did it. And you could just watch/read it and make your own image of it. Btw I didnt know of the manifesto until two weeks ago. And at that time I was a kid anyway, so I couldnt understand anything at all.

 

[TheCrock]

Didn't hear about it.

 

[TheRealChincel]

Fuck, my favorite website of all-time is toast! Go Chodini is replaced by go ER!

 

[Deleted member 3725]

His problems and difficulties resonated with me.

hey bby

 

[Invisincelble]

I was somewhat angry like with all these shootings, but I had already become desensitized to news story tragedies by then. Looking at him I was angry about it because he could've gotten women. I hate when feminists, women and indenialcels say incels aren't entitled to sex, don't see many people saying we are entitled to anything because for most of us it's not about feeling we're owed something but just wanting it and wishing we could find it. It's more about a lack of a companion than sex, at least for me. But Elliiot really did personify entitlement. He wasn't ugly, I'd say he's above average for most Americans. Maybe he was unwilling to settle for anything other than 9/10s, probably due to living in an area of hot sorority girls. Not saying he's Chad level, but most people aren't.

I never read his manifesto completely but some of it. At least he had some female friends in his life or people somewhat interested in him. I've never had a genuine female friend outside of the internet. A few acquaintances in highschool but haven't spoken to them since except facebook comments here and there.


I'm 28 years old virgin, kissles, dateless and if I can deal with it without going on a savage rampage so can he, and he had much better chance of getting a decent woman than myself or most of us here. I hate the "personality" meme but it seems like it actually was his personality tbh.

To go on a suicidal shooting rampage just because you can't get women is absolute weakness. Being an incel is just ONE of my issues, and I know I'm not the only one here. I have several chronic medical issues--severe asthma, arthiritis at young age, obesity (although this is mostly my own fault, at least I've improved this), and some others that are too embarrassing to talk about even here, an abusive family, PTSD, and no real support for any of it. I was too shy in school to make any close friends, and it's very difficult to make them this late in life because everyone's pretty much settled down by now least in my area. I've become a little more outgoing but people just still remember how I was in highschool so it's too little too late. I don't even know how to make male friends out in the wild. I have a few former coworkers I wouldn't mind hanging out with sometime just because theys seem cool based on their facebook posts. They aren't incels but at least seem red pilled. But I don't know how to do it without sounding homo. My life has very little value, and I think about killing myself everyday but not anyone else. Fuck him and fuck Alek, though I have doubts his inceldom was the reason or only reason.

 

[UnfortunatelyINCEL98]

i didnt know who er was i was bluepilled then...

 

[Weirdcel]

Another victim of the 'tism I thought.

RIP

 

[The End]

Oh I loved it. I watched everything I could about him, and downloaded and read his manifesto immediately. I identified a lot with what he wrote. I always love the murder-spree-suicide killers. They're my people.

Funny you guys are saying stuff like "I was too young for it." I feel like it just happened. Ugh, I hate being old.

I remember the news bringing up Seung-Hui Cho and comparing Elliot to him.

 

[Sneepysqar]

I didn't really care. Murders happen all the time (mass murders not as much, but whatever.)

I heard that his parents immediately assumed their son was to blame for the massacre though, which made me think that his parents must be pretty shitty. Normal parents go "Oh, how could my son do that? He's such a good boy!" or "He had problems, but he's no murderer!"

 

[Tension]

I remember reading about him on Wikipedia, and I thought "I relate to this guy's struggles so much..."

And then I read his manifesto.

 

[anon]

I was a 17 year old kid on 4chan. It was all just meme material for me and other kids on /r9k/.
Of course I didn't feel bad for the roasts who got btfo. Felt a little bad for all the ricecels he killed, but they were probably orbiters and helping stacies with their schoolwork anyways.

Whoa, dude. Guess I jumped dimensions. I graduated in 2012 (I just dug up my diploma just to be sure). I remember hearing about it a few weeks after my graduation party, before leaving town. What the hell?!

He is a controversial person. Maybe another blackpill but Elliot and Alek might have been taken more seriously than Cho because they looked better.
I wonder all the time what Elliot would do if he was still alive. He definately had more potential than most of us. On the other hand, look what he sarted. If a beta uprising is ever going to happen, ER will have been the spark for it.

I was also into this kind of shit. Was interested in psychology and mental illnesses and killers. But as I explained I was excited at the time so I didn't want to ruin my mind. At least this is what I remember, other users pointed out that his killings didn't happen in 2012 but in 2014. Wtf.

 

[Bronzehawkattack]

This. I had a couple of online friends who were obsessed with him afterwards, but I didn't really take note of the whole thing, it was "just another mass shooting" for me.

 

[chadmarco]

It was interesting because he was one of the first killers who seemed like one of us, just 10x crazier. He did a terrible job of completing his goal though, killed more betas than anything else. His story was much better than the actual "massacre'.

 

[IncelmaBinHardon]

I remember thinking what kind of spree killer knocks on the door of a sorority house and then just goes away when he gets no reply. ER failed in his mission. It was really just a pointless gesture that took away the lives of probably OK people, not even the ones ER really hated.
