Honestly the specific brand of autist shooters from 4chan and the like are weirdly into sharing the fact that they browse 4chan - Alek Minassain, in his interrogation, was also super into discussing his usage of 4chan and /r9k/.Read his manifesto, it's just full of questionable things like him listing all the brands of ammo, body armor, weapon, weapon parts and where he bought ammo from, aswell as websites he frequented (because associating yourself with certain websites is a good idea as a mass shooter, and won't give the media a narrative to shut those specific sites down)
I think to some extent these guys coming out of pol/r9k/k genuinely feel like if people consumed as much content from the boards as they did, they would understand. It's kind of like puzzle piece evangelism.
I don't think half of the guys shooting people up intend on surviving their crimes anyway, nor do I think their frontal lobes are developed enough to understand the consequences their behavior might have on their favorite website.
feds definitely help churn out inflammatory content for those boards though
