I'm into true crime. I saw someone with an Elliot Rodger profile picture and thought it was cool. Against rules to change mine to a criminal?
I agree.Ignoring any of the ethical problems, Elliot Rodger is the least cool serial killer I can possibly speak of next to Randy Stair. At least the Columbine shooters had a sense of style.
For mass murder why not pick a real killer:I'm into true crime. I saw someone with an Elliot Rodger profile picture and thought it was cool. Against rules to change mine to a criminal?
He wrote something interesting though, it ranks the highest in my ranking of murderer ramblings. If anyone knows of anything better, let me know. We have to face the darkness to understand ourselves also. Everything is part of everything.Ignoring any of the ethical problems, Elliot Rodger is the least cool serial killer I can possibly speak of next to Randy Stair.

I find murderer ramblings depressing (oh, who am I kidding, I find everything depressing), but you're not wrong about us needing to face the dark side of humanity, and to understand it if we can. We'll never entirely get rid of it, but maybe we can mitigate it somewhat. So long as we're not glorifying mass murderers or anything.He wrote something interesting though, it ranks the highest in my ranking of murderer ramblings.

I liked his exposition of the psychological endurings of a young, sexless, autistic male and the literary style was decent. My main takeaway from reading him was how I need to kick my own ass and give up or integrate my own vulnerable narcissism leanings. But I do think he was a Malignant Narcissist though, more than anything else.I find murderer ramblings depressing (oh, who am I kidding, I find everything depressing), but you're not wrong about us needing to face the dark side of humanity, and to understand it if we can.

What is it that Rodger said that you find compelling?
Shit, you're a fountain of profundity today. Well said.He was a monster, but a suffering monster. That's the interesting thing about monsters, they're human too. We cannot just get rid of them, as they are us.

Envy, fear, resentment, these things came up constantly in his writing and I resonated with part of it. Of course if I had been there that day in Isla Vista I would have just tackled him to the ground, lol. He was a monster, but a suffering monster.
