K-97, dude, you need to get a job working for some national news outlet. Those ridiculous assumptions you made while ignoring what should really be talked about are just the kind of thing they love to trot out whenever they're covering a mass murderer. [quote=K-97]Most of his videos are basically him whining about how shitty his life is despite the fact his family is rich (He's the Son of the Assistant Director of the Hunger Games, He's 22 and his car is pretty fucking good for his age) and compared to others his age he's got it amazingly.[/quote] Seriously? You're pointing to his family's wealth and saying that he shouldn't have had any problems because he had money? Mental health issues don't happen to respect class boundaries. This shit should be obvious by now. [quote=K-97]And yet his obsession with women drove him to murder, this one aspect of his life made him feel committing mass murder was actually a solution. [/quote] This is just plain dumb. It wasn't his obsession with women that drove him to murder, it was his mental health problems that happened to also involve an obsession with women that drove him to do it. People don't go on fucking killing sprees just because they're sexually frustrated. This dude was very clearly not right in the head, and this would have been the case regardless of changes in his level of sexual activity. His particular madness happened to hinge upon that aspect of his life, but attributing everything to a symptom rather than the cause is ridiculous. The public dialogue about this guy should be about mental health issues and how poorly they're handled, not about how blue balls supposedly lead to murder. [quote=K-97]He reminds me of one of those guys who has a serious case of Nice Guy Syndrome or has been listening to one too many Pick Up Artist Videos except taken to an absolute extreme[/quote] Again, focusing on the symptom rather than the cause. This time you're associating him with a type of person and thus implying that they might also be dangerous people ready to snap and go on a killing spree at any moment because they're also sexually frustrated. [quote=K-97]He was just like all those other cringe worthy virgins who believe that their entire lives are defined by women, complain about their lack of women expecting them to just appear and are literally raised on material from r/redpill and Extreme Men's Rights, except this guy went on a rampage. It almost makes me wonder how many of those people might be capable of such an act.[/quote] And here again, although you hedge around it at bit, you heavily imply that anyone who fits into that same broad category could be murderers just waiting for an opportunity to let loose. This kind of stupid generalization is rather harmful and distracts attention from what is actually important and should be talked about, specifically mental health issues and how they relate to this guy who was so far off the deep end that he went and killed people with a patently insane justification. I'm not trying to be a dick to you K-97, you just happen to have presented the kind of stuff I hate about news coverage of mass murderers and such. It pisses me off how whenever something like this happens the things everyone focuses on are shit like what kind of music they listened to, whether or not they played video games, what popular websites they used, etc. That crap is not important at all. What's important is that yet another person slipped through the massive cracks in the system and never got help for whatever their mental health problems were, and it escalated to the point of harming others. People in general are just so damned stupid, and this is a very blatantly obvious expression of that stupidity, so I can't help but rail against it. I'll end it there and keep the rant short, I guess.
