Elliot Rodger can't completely be called a fakecel, he experienced real dejection, even from his best friend — but he was a mentalcel, HAPAcel and standardcel. His background was also economically affluent. We all know the trope of incels being called standardcels for not dating a landwhale, but he really was a standardcel. (which is a type of fakecel.) He could have easily found a short Asian girlfriend that was his looksmatch, but he insisted on blonde cheerleaders. When they rejected him too many times in his attempts at cold approaching them, he became suicidal. (and insisted on dragging strangers down with him) "If I can't have this, I don't want anything!" It's obvious from his memoir alone (which exhaustively covers his entire life and especially his social experiences and rejection from girls) that he never made a serious effort to date a girl that would've been more attainable for him. He focused on girls out-of-reach, then snapped.
I've read his memoir and he's quite clear about his insistence on the most typical conventionally attractive popular blonde girl, and his racism in general. At one point he becomes enraged at the sight of a Mexican guy with a white girl at a restaurant. He was racist to full Asians on the forums he would post on, (none of which were incel forums, a term he never mentioned once) lambasting them simply for being Asian on both sides, invoking his European half.
(link) He didn't like the thought of a full Asian dating a white girl, and (unlike his father, ironically enough) wasn't willing to date an Asian himself. He
killed three Asian incels - his two roommates and their friend, before going on to do the rest of his massacre and recording his last video.
Normies just bring Elliot Rodger up to smear incels, as if we are all "entitled" and violent.
(read this) Not only are the men who actually go through with suicide a minority, cases like him where there is a mass-shooting are especially an anomaly - and again, he never identified as an incel and himself murdered three incels. He clearly had a personality disorder, genuine narcissism - something was really off with him. From his memoir we know enough about his life to know his parents and upbringing can't be blamed, he also had a sister. (though it's true that often girls come out more normal than guys for reasons that aren't to be blamed on boys/men) I agree with Crumplar
when he said Elliot Rodger was a product of a racist and inegalitarian society, but he really was a nasty, racist kid who actually saw his massacre to random civilians as "payback" for some blondes not being interested in him. Some people are born with screws missing.
Read this, and if you have more time the
original post he replied to.
At the end of the day, people who think like Crumplar
who chalk up the matter to him being "awkward" and bring intersectionality into it are just being mystifying because most white girls really would reject him for being half Asian. But there's no reason he couldn't have dated an Asian himself, besides his own blatant, self-admitted white supremacy. It's hard for people to simultaneously acknowledge the actual extent of "racism" (discrimination based on characteristics is really an innate trait that itself explains how various ethnicities came to be, but instead this is usually put under the conceptual framework the word "racism" implies along with ideological racists) in society while also being willing to call out individual racists. Usually you get actual racists, or politically correct Liberals who pretend to be opposed to racism, exaggerate and invent racism where it doesn't exist, while denying actual pervasive examples of racism (women in general) in society with pretense.
(I'm more saying in a real sense it really does come down to this. Yet, at the same time, I explained why I don't disagree with people who call him a standardcel. I prefer to emphasize how normies use him against us. He was just one spoiled kid, like Defectivecuckachu said.)
