What were you doing when ER went ER?

[thespanishcel]

The 23rd of May of 2014, I was in middle school. I looked it up and it was a Friday so probably I was playing League of Legends (yeah I played that sheit in 2014 kek) or watching Attack on Titan because I remember I watched it by that time. I didn't have any after school activities on Fridays. Tbh until I became aware I was an incel I didn't even know who Elliot Rodger was, the Spanish media didn't give it much coverage just like all US mass shootings, just some minutes on TV or a newspaper article but that's all. They cover more in detail the most shocking because that's what gets more attention, people have gotten used to it kek.

I too was in middle school -- some international school in riceland. Three months later my dad would get transferred to his company's New York office and so I got dragged along to some boarding school in Northeastern burgerland.

Holy shit 2014 feels like an eternity ago. I feel old.

Spring 2014, I was in a psychiatric facility.

 

[FrothySolutions]

I was at work. Posting on NeoGAF about Mario Kart 8 and whether Nintendo would ever go back to full E3 conferences again. Twitter was nothing to me. Reddit? Functionally nonexistent.

 

[Remaincel]

playing minecraft

 

[total disgrace 21]

Watching porn

 

[pixy.DARKMEATURKEY]

that was a few months before destiny 1 came out so I think I was replaying through all of borderlands 2 with my middle school friend. I don't think I took a interest in ER till maybe next year when I watched some jewtube videos and documentaries about him.

 

[Immolator]

looking at conspiracy theory videos before yt started censoring their platform

playing minecraft

 

[Caesercel]

Probably giving my sophomore year university exams. Busy failing at quantum physics and electromagnetics. Reading memecenter instead of studying.

playing with my transformers toys cuz i was an innocent little kid. I didn't care about sex and love so i was happy and free.

My parents turn on fuckin CNN one day and they talk about some guy who shot up some place. It didn't matter to me at all, it was some irrelevant place i didn't even know existed. I later learned it was known as Isla Vista, although I don't care to know what that means nor its significance in the context of the situation.

Needless to say, Elliot Rodger was a different breed of incel from a different time. He wouldn't really be anything like us had he still been around with 2021cels

 

[phony2021xxoo]

I was at a private hs playing my phone when I saw this, I didn’t have much discussion about this with my fake friends hell I was playing ping pong at lunch break

 

[AmIjustDreaming]

lurking the thread on puahate

 

[ordinaryotaku]

I was either playing Minecraft or TF2 with my friends when it happened. It might've been both, as we stayed up until 3 AM on Fridays, and the shooting was on a Friday. It happened around 11pm my time I think.

I did remember that me and my friends heard about the shooting the following Saturday, and then we went back into the school cafeteria the following Monday and we started memeing his videos. I didn't understand his pain then (I do not approve of what ER did, but if things turned out a lot better for him, he wouldn't have done what he did), and I was a 14 year old bluepilled cuck who constantly ragged on nice guys and neckbeards on Reddit, and I unironically thought that personality mattered. If IncelTears existed back in 2014, I probably would have been a user on it.

Though, a year later, I will fully admit that looking up and actually reading ER's manifesto in full led me down the incel pipeline because of how relatable it was. The blackpill wasn't immediate, but my first full read of it in 2015 really woke me up. It did hit me like a ton of bricks at first, but I didn't really start to wake up after I lost all my excess weight and started to go the gym in late 2015, and from there, I really saw how undesirable I was to women when looksmaxxed. And one day, for no reason at all, it fully dawned on me that all this bluepilled garbage I was fed was a whole load of absolute fucking horse shit. I joined my first incel space, r/incels, in March 2016, and LARPed as being a couple years older. From then on, it's history.

I was fapping

[BrettyBoy]

Tried dating a girl, she rejected me saying I was too short

 

[JestER]

Rotting to this day

 

[AllejDon]

Phone gallery photos from around those days suggest I was home and I took a pic of a cruise ship coming in to the port the day before. It was also a friday so I was probably at school that day. So I was probably just at home chilling or going out. I had a life in 2014

 

[Deleted member 35171]

[Shower_Taker]

I was in class, reading all about it on my phone.

What I remember the most is how the Internet had a bit of a conniption fit around ER. Forums were shut down, mainstream media started publishing all these sensationalist editorials…YouTube started coming down hard on reposts of his videos and other “content that might incite violence” around this time.

IMO that’s when the public image of the nerdy, fedora toting, benign loner started to be replaced by violent and hateful archetypes. Those were shit times tbh…

 

[Valiant Virgin]

He went ER at 9.27pm UTC−08:00 at which time I would have been sound asleep, blissfully unaware of the Supreme Gentleman's existence let alone his trials and tribulations.
