Elliot Rodger: WHY?

20:30 Sounds like a radfem utopia such as the one promoted by Femitheist. I wonder if he was influenced by her?

If this video doesn't prove that Elliot Rodger was insane, I don't know what does. People are acting as if we are using mental illness as am excuse for him. There is no excuse. He should have gotten a shit ton of mental help. Yes, he was a misogynist. Yes, that played a huge role in this act. But that was not the only factor. People don't write manifestos about a new society and then go on shooting sprees unless there is something very wrong with them.

First of all, Elliot Rodger was insane. He killed because he was crazy.

But he really was a raging misogynist too. Just read his manifesto. He graphically describes an all female genocide.

This doesn't really have anything to do with the point of the video, but he uses "metal illness" to mean "insane" or "psychotic," which are not the same. At ~16:00 he says, this is bordering on mental illness, when really Elliot had probably been deep in depression for years and years by that point, suffering from social anxiety, and also suffering from some kind of personality disorder, which are all mental illnesses.
