As you may know there have been a variety of background for mass shooters.
A woman shot up google headquarters when youtube demonetized her videos:

A trans person shot up their school:

And there's so many mass shootings in gangland in chicago you can't even list them all out.
But the press likes to push only the ones that meet their man-hating narrative - when the shooter is a white man - like recently:

Apparently this is his reddit post history:

**Of the last 24 posts he made - 12 of them were to one of reddits protected man-bashing hate subs - **IncelsInAction.
The sub description of itself:
This sub is for mocking the antics of anyone who identifies themselves as "incel." This is a term popularised on Reddit and 4chan meaning "involuntarily celibate" i.e. men who can't get laid. Some of them get really really mad about it, and here are their stories...
...
Incels who comment in here can expect to be relentlessly mocked by this community. If you don't like it, don't post here.
Did reddit's protection of it's anti-male subs contribute to this shooting?
It seems a lot more plausible than the banned "men going their own way" sub.
I don't visit their subs, and I am pretty sure they are not longer expressing such sentiments as it will get them banned immediately by Reddit.
But they are a bunch of mental cases. My problem isn't even with their 'misogyny', as their belief that they are entitled to others' bodies is no different from Trancels and Fatcels. It's that they are so brainwashed by pop culture that they define their own self-worth, which is no doubt quite insignificant, as being wholly about whether they can get laid.
Well, that's just deeply tragic, more than it is worthy of being called not human. I think it's a more general sense of alienation and loneliness than it is about just "getting laid", and that incel is a term that is greater than the sum of its etymological parts, but sex is ubiquitous in modern pop culture and so easy to latch on to (and believe the majority of people take for granted) when most of your interaction with the world takes place through that lens.
But, well, I'm just speculating too, mostly. People grow toxic when they fall into echo chambers, and that toxicity results in them being confined to that echo chamber by the world outside it.
It borders on being a cultural norm that someone reaches a point in their life where they realize they're not dating and they need to do something about it. I've known multiple girls who reached this point, and of course some guys as well including myself.
The movie Back To The Future has something like this as it's background plot.
In Marty's original timeline his parents are low self esteem and kinda losers. He has to sneak around to spend the weekend with his girlfriend. It's very relatable for a lot of people - their parents, their school, etc tsk tsk at relations with the opposite gender but the successful people do it anyways.
Uh...this seems to be confused with the anti-incel idealogy. This is what incel-mocking cells believe, it's about feeling that men who can't get laid are worthless and if you are getting laid you're superior to them.
I don't think this is the philosophy of incel subs. I didn't spend much time in them because they seemed to me to mostly about training men to stop caring about whether they were getting laid or not in some weird thing about removing their sex drive as a way to control them.
Not at all. They would not have created their entire sad movement if this was not what they believed. Besides, I don't think that men who don't get laid are worthless. The monks of the middle ages were pretty damn great. But what they were not doing is obsessing 24/7 over not having sex, like incels do.
Are you sure?
For mgtwo, back in the day, yes.
In japan there's a similar concept called "herbivore men".
In china there's something called "lying flat" that's primarily about work but includes not getting married and not having kids.
Nichola Tesla was apparently a celibate bachelor as well.
There haven't been that many incel shooters - feminist politicians really really wanted their to be so they could repeat 1 thing obsessively over and over - but they've had real trouble finding people.
But of the few, this is the 2nd that we know went online and got mocked for being incel, right before he went on a shooting spree. If reddit's goal was actually banning hate subs - rather than just doing man-hating - you'd see the anti-incel sub banned. I don't see that is has any positive purpose.
So you don't even fucking know what you're talking about. How embarrassing.
I don't spend any time on incel subs either but I'm good enough at pattern recognition to see the kinds of smears against them are the same fucking smears that are leveled at any group that the MSM doesn't like.
Nope, visiting their subs is hardly the only way one can know what one is talking about.
Not exactly. I also did not take this from the MSM.
