On a more serious note, I've started reading his manifesto. His entitlement, narcissism, and god complex has been going on for quite a long time. Still got a long ways to go, though.

The parallels between him and Patrick Bateman are stunning (if Patrick Bateman couldn't get laid). I mean, he was decent looking, had a 2011 BMW, definitely had money and dressed like he had money, had serious connections to famous people (seriously, he was standing in earshot next to Sylvester Stallone on the red carpet at a premiere in one picture of him), his dad wrote the Hunger Games script, and he still couldn't get laid. To me, that shows that he had an extreme flaw of character. Namely, his extreme narcissism and the fact that he is a complete douchebag.

I (and by I, I mean mostly @Luna) think I know why he was so insistent on spraying people with drinks or orange juice. His obsession with sex would stem from feelings of inadequacy namely due to not having sex. This lack of equilibrium in this one area messed with his god complex as he saw a disparity between reality and what he though he rightfully deserved. He splashed sticky liquids on people because he saw it as a stand in for ejaculation and could use it as a proxy to feel dominant over people.

Okay, so I just finished. The last dozen pages are hard to get through.

There's obviously a bunch he leaves out (he only mentions visiting a psychologist when he was a teen in passing). I don't think "autism" or "aspergers" is going to figure much. He planned to murder his younger brother -- who appears to be one of the only people he feels anything for, and who looks to be around 7 years old -- so his little brother couldn't "surpass" him. He was a deranged fucking psychopath and I'm starting to reconsider our laws against forcible commitment, because there was shit so broken about this guy that it would take a team of scientists years to piece it back together.

The doctors prescribed him -- twice -- Risperidone. I'm not up on this sort of thing so I wiki'd it. It's an anti-psychotic:

Risperidone (/rɨˈspɛərɨdoʊn/ri-spair-i-dohn) (trade name Risperdal, and generics) is an antipsychotic drug mainly used to treat schizophrenia(including adolescent schizophrenia), schizoaffective disorder, the mixed and manic states of bipolar disorder, and irritability in people with autism

Does anyone know anything about this? It seems extremely heavy.

Huh. And here I was thinking that that's something you mostly see stereotypical female characters in movies do to a guy that's stiffed them.

I have Schizoaffective Disorder. I've been on Risperidone. It was pretty heavy. Supposed to quiet down auditory hallucinations. It did its job, but the side effects were terrible. Felt like a zombie all the time.

Hey have we blamed video games yet - because I would like to?

Probably. Video games are responsible for most violent crimes like this.

That was my initial thought, but he's way too enthusiastic about it for it to be a cliched thing he picked up from movies. Plus he filled up a super soaker with orange juice and sprayed some jocks with it after a bad kickball game. This guy was many things, but stable was not one of them.

I knew letting kids download Flappy Bird was a bad idea.

 

[Artard]

Hey have we blamed video games yet - because I would like to?

Yeah. He spent most of the years 11 to 14 as a self-confessed WoW addict. He describes it as an escapist "void" he retreated into because the world was intent on crushing him. It was basically the years he should have been learning how to socialize on a somewhat mature level, but he blamed everything on bullying (which I'm really skeptical about).

 

[c-no]

At some point, that could happen. He did play a lot of WoW. It's mentioned in his manifesto.

Thanks. Yeah, that appears to be a common reaction from what I can see.

So it was WORLD OF WARCRAFT that caused this!

Yet another reason not to play that game.

Yeah, playing it can only make you into Elliot Rodger. It's not like having an extremely narcissistic ego complete with some kind of hatred towards others is to blame for this. Why, if WoW were taken down, it's not like Elliot would think the world is trying to mess with him.

If WoW weren't around, people would blame Call of Duty or Halo instead.

To be fair, I have noticed Wikipedia changed its policy. Usually the shooter gets his own page with psychoanalysis on it, but not this time. Elliot Rodgers is clumped into the incident page namelessly as "Perpetrator".

I don't know about Wikipedia policy or anything, but it seems to be the same as the Sandy Hook shooting Wikipedia article. I guess its probably a good thing. Providing information about the event that took place while not glorifying the killer, I suppose.

Probably for the best, given he already being called a hero by the wizard and loveshy community
