Ann Hornaday, a film critic for the Washington Post, pin-pointed the work of the actor and famed comedy director Judd Apatow as possible motivation for the killing spree, which ended the lives of six young people and injured 13 more.
She wrote that “mass entertainment has been overwhelmingly controlled by white men, whose escapist fantasies so often revolve around vigilantism and sexual wish-fulfilment (often, if not always, featuring a steady through-line of casual misogyny).”

“How many students watch outsized frat-boy fantasies like Bad Neighbours and feel, as Rodger did, unjustly shut-out of college life that should be full of ‘sex and fun and pleasure’?” she continued. (read more)
Others at stuff.co.nz argue that Mental Illness, not Misogyny, made Elliot Rodger kill.
"What to make of a disturbed young man who rants about killing women in revenge for them not having sex with him, who then murders two, as well as four men?"
There's not much to like about Elliot Rodger - entitled, self-pitying, vain, insecure, histrionic, materialistic, racist, boastful and ungrateful - yet it's difficult for any of us to judge how many of these attributes arose from mental health issues or were simply the result of a nasty little mind. Our knowledge of him is incomplete...
Much has been made of Rodger's misogyny, yet he stabbed these three Asian men to death and mutilated their bodies. Think about the sort of mind needed to do something like that, then move calmly on to your next victims? Ask yourself if they're the actions of a sane man? (read more)What do you believe was the cause of the murderous rampage, misogyny, mental illness, both?

Nonsense.
This is obviously the movie to blame.
"What do you believe was the cause of the murderous rampage, misogyny, mental illness, both?"
Beats me. The question I have is - why is Seth Rogen a Major Motion Picture Star. Has no one seen The Green Hornet?
I have a similar question about Jack Black.
I like Seth Rogen in small doses. He can't carry a movie, but is good in supporting roles, and seems like way less of a libtard douchebag than most people in Hollywood.
I am 100% positive that the nutcase closet case who murdered those people was not driven to it by either Seth Rogen or Judd Apatow.
I am equally positive that the film reviewer who suggested it is a rotten cunt with no redeeming value to society.
They are the same thing, woman haters and mental illness. Same with man haters and race baiters. All reactionary emotion and impulse and no thinking. All collective guilt and no individual responsibility.
Indulging in an orgy of social blaming ("white men," Hollywood, "gun culture") only serves to create an atmosphere that encourages the mentally ill to feel free to live out their sick fantasies, secure in the knowledge that their crimes will later be excused or at least explained in an excusing way by Experts. The media never examines in depth the real thread that runs through these mass killings - mental illness. Tens of millions own guns, view movies and videos and video games, and are white and male but do not do these things. But all must pay with blame and condemnation and further inroads into individual civil rights because addressing the real problem would be too difficult. For the Experts.
Let me be v-e-r-y clear on this subject. Who gives a fuck about Seth Rogen? Anyone you know know him? Name them.
Next, why is the Elliot Roger murderous rampage more nationally significant and covered oh, ou, ah, gee whiz fuckity do da day...than the one month ago murder of 9 with 36 more wounded, 6 of them children, in Chi-fucking-ca-sucking go?
The media decides for you and me what is "romantic" amongst the weekly atrocities in almost every major urban center in the entire country. White little pin-dick loser fuckhead goes ape shit, (be ASHAMED white boys!) hates women, but kills more men than women (4:2) ...and you betcha big buddy that's what you are told is a BIG DEAL!
I am not impressed, nor do I give one rat's tiny shit bit.
The media makes the "glory" and future weasel dicks will strive to be just like ole Elliot.
The media says it is "gun crime" but needle dick the pussy virgin killed more with a knife than a gun.
Like I said...I don't care anymore.
Lots and lots of people are sexually frustrated.
Lots and lots of people are nuts.
Lots and lots of people are angry at the world.
Lots and lots of people are sexually frustrated, nuts, and angry at the world.
Serial killers are few and far between.
Was he a serial killer or a mass murderer?
Maybe I should look it up.
Whatever.
I think the distinction between mass murderers and serial killers is killing over time.
You shoot up a mall in 15 minutes, mass murderer.
You kill 5 people over 5 years, serial killer.
No, it sounds more like the standard Lefty metrosexual he was failed human being. A sexless beta male who, stirred and shaken by a lethal cocktail of life circumstances, racial grievance, mental illness, and morbid narcissism that stunted his development into adulthood and compelled him to prefer morose martyrdom to active efforts at self-improvement, found it easier to blame the degree of his brow ridge tilt for his failure with women.
If that doesn't sound like your typical Occupier (or, cough, troll), nothing ever will.
Nothing says misogyny, like killing four men.
So Seth feels "horrified". That's nice to know.
I just read his IMDb page - turns out I have never seen a single movie he has been in. That's good, otherwise I might have to feel horrified, too.
But do go on about your feelings, Seth - certainly someone, somewhere gives a shit about them.
And since he feels responsible for this, at least in his own self-aggrandizing narcissist way, can we deport him?
What really annoys me and makes me want to scream is this: SHOOTING RAMPAGE.
No mention that the first 3 people killed were killed with a knife. Others were killed or wounded by his BMW. Then let's ban kitchen knives and cars.
Yes. He also used a gun. Not very well either, since he seems to have been a really poor shot. Poor kid. Sucked at everything even being a mass killer.
Even so......the media wants to make this all about guns when it is exactly NOT about guns.
The cause is mental illness. Poor parenting. Bad police procedures, they were warned! Spoiled rotten kid.
Here's the deal. Crazy people do crazy things. Sometimes you just can't stop them.
The end.
Psychopathic narcissism nails it. Is it anyone's fault but the killer's? No.
In criminal justice this little shitbird is known as a spree killer. I see this a combo of wealthy entitlement and mental illness. A Leopold and Loeb like spree killer

I don't know what part of the article you got his from.
Rogen said that he found the article blaming him for the killings "horribly insulting and misinformed." How does that constitute feeling "responsible"?
I bet this film critic thinks the violent Game of Thrones is great. Cause all the right people seem to love Games of Thrones.
Ann Hornaday is a film critic? Really? Yet she called the movie "Bad Neighbours", using the Brit or Commie, er, Cannuck spelling. The movie is actually titled "Neighbors", according to IMDb.
Typical liberal - unable to correctly identify simple things. That alone makes everything she writes suspect.
Also, someone should tell the film critic that the nerd has been getting the girl in movies for about 30-40 years now. It is not a recent plotline.
Chip S - as if I read the article - I merely read the headline as it was written here. THAT'S ALL I NEED TO KNOW!
Clearly, that's insufficient, but I am still in favor of deporting Rogen - HIS MOVIES ARE CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY!!!
Three exclamation points means I am serious. Yep. As serious as I can be.
Anyway, we are finally getting some rain here - been in a bit of a dry spell, lately. How about them O's?
Okay, I screwed up.
Sixty, Hornaday called the movie "Neighbors" in her WaPo article. The Independent, being a Brit publication, used the title of the international release.
This concludes the portion of the thread in which I carp at Sixty's comments.
Well alrighty then - I must go denounce myself.
Goes to show what happens when you get all your news from Lem's...
Chipster - I appreciate you keeping me honest. I might have gone off on a tangent or a rant or something.
A few cleansing breaths and I will be all better.
I know that you're a stickler for accuracy, that's all.
I try to be, but I can't be any better than my source material. The Independent - meh - will I ever learn?
Gotta say that I'm a little disappointed in the house libs here for not seizing on this:
Spoiled rotten kid
and this:
wealthy entitlement
to make an argument for steeply progressive taxes as crime-fighting tools.
Hey, just tryin' to help.
lol you guys are adorbs
Lots and lots and lots of misogynists don't kill anyone. Nothing about misogyny involves being murderous about it. "Crazy" is entirely adequate to the purpose here, no need for everyone to get their own personal hobby horse involved.
Just about as dawg-awful stupid as blaming his murder spree on sexual frustration. OH EM GEE... what do you think God gave you hands for?
"Nothing says misogyny, like killing four men."
That, too.
Oh... I had intended to be upbeat.
So... I kind of liked Green Hornet. I saw the whole thing as commentary on the racism of the original show. The people I watched it with hated it. They're all... "That's so dumb!" and I'm all, "That was the point!"
I should watch it again and write up a big thing just so I can haul it out anytime someone comes with "No, Prometheus wasn't stupid, it was DEEP, you just didn't get the SYMBOLISM." And then I can say... in that case The Green Hornet was high art!
Also... Inception was better when it was called Total Recall...
Pineapple Express was great.
Hi everyone! How are you? I am super, thanks for asking.
The Vineyard was divine this weekend. Anyone who was anyone premeried their summer frocs and they were fierce.
We ran into Jeremy and Claude from Chelsea and Alejandro and Dragon from West Hollywood-it was super catching up with them and they worked very hard this winter!
Where did you holiday this past weekend?
Hope it was fabs!
toodles and tits.
I am waiting for someone, anyone, to tell me why this Elliot punk got the big national headlines and over-emotional hoo-ha, and the 9 dead and 36 wounded in Shit-town last month got zip? Is it because the big city urban deaths and maiming don't fit the proper narrative...but a little punk Hollywood white boy does?
Tell me. Please.
Titus, while we have you here.
Could you use your highly tuned gaydar on the murderous little shit who led to this thread topic?
There has been debate both here and at TOP speculating.
he was 1/2 malaysian so really not white.
also being 5-4 could not of helped.
shorties tend to have tiny cocks too and the asian part could of made it even smaller.
Aridog, serious answer...
Violence among lower classes does not feel threatening to upper classes in the same way that a random psycho feels threatening. People express all the "right" concern, but in truth, they do not feel personally at risk. They don't deal drugs, they don't live in a dangerous neighborhood, they don't *expect* to have a drive-by happen, they aren't personally married to an abuser or drug dealer...
Yes, part of it is that the victims are brown, but even that is mostly that it's members of a community that isn't your community.
Part of it is that people assume the shooters are sane with sane motivations. Animals, maybe, but rational animals.
But something like this happens and it happens to a community that expects to be safe and it happens in a way that CAN NOT be guarded against or avoided by avoiding the bad part of town. This makes people feel insecure so they immediately want to try to figure out how to feel safe again.
Could you use your highly tuned gaydar on the murderous little shit who led to this thread topic?
It's plausible that he was a repressed gay. His victims were both sexes, so he could have been lashing out at heterosexuality instead of just women. But you'll never even hear that question asked in Hollywood.
The tiny cock theory of Titus works too.
Hijacking A Mass Murder To Boost Self-Esteem

Synova....I accept your reasoning as part of the answer. Funny how really sick news, such as the beating of Steve Utash in my hometown barely made a ripple nationally. Utash was white, in a metro area where we're rather well mixed, but in Detroit it is over 8+:1 black over white. Steven Utash did not expect to be beaten to within an inch of his life, for stopping to help a kid he'd bumped with his car.
I live in a neighborhood where I am the one in 9:1 ratio, adjacent to other neighborhoods where it is 8+:1 or 7:1, etc. I am very good at situational awareness to use a fancy term for street smart.
Sorry, but I think it is more media liberal narrative at work than the who and where of it all. Media may utilize the not-expected-here concept, false as it is (none of us, black, white brown, etc wants to die, or expects to) to get started, but they go far beyond that and glorify killers which attracts more "psychopathic narcissists" and gives them a venue to seek their own aggrandizement.
Those 9 dead folks in Chicago plus the 36 wounded, including 6 children, are every bit as important as some Hollywood snot brat...except to our beloved media.
So is Steve Utash...be at least he's still alive after a month+ in ICU in an induced coma. I am still waiting for some leaders from both sides of the racial fence to address the idiocy that was the beating of Steve Utash....and get national forum for the addressing.
I am naive' I know ...not really. I know what zup.

What about banging on the door of a sorority house, w the intent to kill everyone inside?
In any case, Ann Hornaday has shamelessly self-promoted her career. How many had even heard of her before this?
Synova...BTW, my opinion (mine only) on what caused the Utash beating was a v-e-r-y common in Detroit attempt to be "bumped" by a car, for the insurance payout. In the Utash case, it went wrong when some idiot savages, not in on the scam, went nuts.
But, yeah, cause it's a mostly white liberal town out west, let's keep a national dialog going on Elliot Rodgers...and drag in some fruitcake dude named Seth Rogen int o it all. Who is Seth Rogen again? Anyone outside La La Land know of him even?
Don't let the facts get in the way of a 'good' stereotype.

Isn't the tiny cock theory consonant with why killers use guns according to liberals? Knives and Beemers too?
To my way of thinking... and that is my liability sometimes ;)... doesn't using the tragedy in mass media, no matter how well intended, act in way to glamorize it?
I'm thinking about how that perspective illusion I posted this morning (a turn in the road) works.
The line between promotion and condemnation could be irreparably blurred by an attempt to parse the baby to one too many aggrieved mothers... if that makes any sense.

When you grocery shop, do people ask, "would you like help with that?"
I'm asking you because I am asked that every single time without exception and it is a bit embarrassing because I am imagining myself giving no clue to needing or wanting any help at all. Yet there it is.
But today it went even further, as I was loading my truck a young and attractive and pleasant woman had just parked her car and was entering. So, busy herself with her own plans. Her shopping ahead of her. But she stopped next to me and asked, "Sir, would you like help with that?" The fourth time today.
"No thank you, I'm fine."
Departing, she turns back, cheerfully, "I like your pants!"
Back home and parked my own cart loaded to take things up, a young man was slightly ahead of me. This is where people slip through the door and go on there way hastening ahead rather than having you slow them down to join them in the elevator. But upon reaching the door, there he was waiting so that I could pass directly through. Grace that you don't always see.
Behold, the power of red pants.
These shrink to fit 501's. I recommend them. Buy several pair. They cause people around you to come out of character. Don't let the color descriptor "jester" dissuade you.
Oh, and the murder dude was privileged, but not privileged enough to suit him, mentally damaged, emotionally scarred, resentful beyond the meaning of the word, angry, self-loathing, all qualities I recognize because I share them in bits here and there and had to work through, at least think about however briefly, he obsessed and was trapped in his own mind. The sad thing is, there are a lot of people out there, perhaps only some people out there, who could have done something with that, people who are attracted to assholes with pixie dicks. There actually are women, and men too I suppose, who actually do prefer pixie dicks with compensating massive egos unable to manage emotionally.
Aridog, it's why the media sees one as a "story" and the other not-so-much.
I'm certainly not saying that it's *right* and part of what the media ought to be doing is their jobs as journalists instead of their jobs as carnival hucksters.
I don't mind Seth Rogen; he's funny. That scene in "Superbad" where he and whathisname are cops? Hilarious. Pineapple Express could have been great but for the annoying Franco creature. But what I really find amusing is when people who thought they were protected by their progressive privilege are confronted with the thuggish tactics of their would-be allies, the gentle hopenchanger fawns of the anti-gun, pro-environment, social justice, progressive movement.
"Horrified."
Ha ha ha HA, suckers.
You thought the rules wouldn't be applied to you. You thought you had a pass. You thought there were rules and not just circumstances of convenience.
Here's THE PROGRESSIVE RULE (learn it, know it, live it): Success will be punished.
Your success threatens the super wealthy who actually fund the progressive movement and who would prefer not to compete with you (or anyone else). For the greater good, therefore, your success must be sacrificed to the mob of incompetent morons and the rabid crazies seething with resentment, rage, insecurity and failure a/k/a progressive voters.
For every problem there probably is an easy answer. In the case of Elliot Rodger, instead of spending all of that money on guns, why not just go out and buy some pussy?
Were we ever to learn the truth about the treatment he has received during his short but miserable life I bet that he has been on a variety of psycho-active drugs since he was young.
That, rather than the anti-NRA theme should get more attention, but of course, libs really like dosing the maleness out of young boys.
Not that there was a lot of maleness in this pouty little poofter to start with, but you know, just sayin'...
Why aren't we hearing anything about his mother's religion?
Departing, she turns back, cheerfully, "I like your pants!"

Chip Ahoy ... why are younger folks always surprised a bit when some one acts with what once was common courtesy. I was taught and still act the way I was taught to open doors, for anyone nearing it with you or behind you...just do it and smile. Today I did this for a young woman with her arm obviously in a cast and she looked at me with amazement and nodded her head in acceptance. How odd that is unusual today. No she didn't have on red pants.
It never hurts to notice things however, at the same store when I'd finished shopping and checking out I noticed a Treble Clef tattoo on the lovely young woman's forearm...so I asked, what's that, with a smile. The return smile was beaming...with a short story, as she scanned me out, about she was a musician (flute, piano and guitar) and decided to fill in between real work that she couldn't teach (no patience) so she worked there. She was all of 25 maybe and very pretty...a loveliness that blossomed with that big smile.
I had a nice day, I met a nice person with a future I'm sure. And I've just gone about my day as every other day otherwise.
Hornaday blames it on white men. But Rogen's a yid. And I can tellya that on some of the sites I frequent (American Renaissance, Taki's Magazine, SBPDL) it's practically an article of faith that yids aren't white. Which I consider a speed bump considering those are the only places where the unsayable gets said. Although frankly, yids of the Askenazic persuasion are almost universally pale, paler than Micks, if that's possible. Finally, blaming anything on white men is like the ability to hit the side of the barn. Big whoop.
Speaking of compliments from women -- when I was much younger a woman commented favorably on the shape of my butt. To which I made the only appropriate response -- I twerked her.
I blame The Innocence of Muslims.
I held the door open for a gaggle of women entering a flower shop. A horribly cute one gave me a big smile and an enthusiastic "thank you."
I contemplated going back in and buying more flowers.

I do apologize if I'm sounding flippant, but I haven't yet heard a believable theory regarding the perp's motivation. And the people who know aren't saying, apparently.
Titus never heard of short guys with expansive personalities.
This kid, of course, as the article notes, had other problems, "his richie rich expectations of immediate rewards and deference from lessers, or his utter blindness to what women really desire in men (hint, it isn’t BMWs)"

I listened to a bit of John & Ken on KFI AM and they had the same theory I put forth here when the story broke -- the kid just gave off negative vibes. There's really no better explanation why he purports that not one single woman ever even looked at him. It's all so implausible -- unless of course he made it all up. That's what I mean about the people who no being silent: parents, classmates, teachers, anyone.

Too cute by half.
What do you mean by that, Lem?

His 'manifesto' bares that out.
And another thing, what is the threshold qualifying the scribbling's of a mental case the literary title of 'manifesto'?
C’mon
Did someone say manifesto?

That an intern is better

"What do you mean by that, Lem?"
I was hoping to squeeze that run in there ;)
Why do we use the italian-sounding word manifesto anyway? Why not just the word "manifest" as in a ship's litany of cargo.
Is it destiny?
Destino - la forza del. It is inescapable.
Other than obvious beauty, Italian lends a certain rinascimento sense of reasonability to words.
Va fa un culo!
See what I mean? Even the profane smells like a rose!
Joe Green agrees.
Now I must bid adieu to my most recent, and perhaps best Emily Litella effort ever.
Never mind...
edutcher kinda hits it there at 9:06. What difference does it make how small, or large it may have been. No one ever saw it until now when the coroner gets their chance. We make the same statement, or at least I do, about those with large trucks.
I don't think we can ever come close to a satisfactory explanation of such idiocy other than the, somewhat now, trite excuse of insane.
This is disrespect to those are truly, just, insane.
Actually this reminds of an article I am reading about Kaczynski, the Unabomber. It's long and I haven't finished it yet. But one of the first conclusions of the author is that no matter how much the 'authorities' (law, academia, the democrats) tried to make him out insane, his manifesto was normal to most of those I just mentioned. And his killings not so far removed from what those folks really think just before they go to sleep at night.
Manifesto is just so that we can hear ourselves saying/writing it.
Once again, I think you two have inchiodare.
So a 'manifesto' is just a grocery list?
I was under the impression it was a little more.
Were Martin Luther's 95 Theses a litany or a manifesto?
10:15 that's actually a good summation I think. Just that the market you are in may not carry those particular goods.
A litany sounds less... magnifico, sympatico.
"Nothing says misogyny, like killing four men."
No, murdering the 2 women is what says misogyny.
Killing the 5 men says homophobia/gay hate/self hate.
For the record.. I haven't read the writings of the one vaunted mass killer wanabe.
I got better things to do.
A litany that later became a manifesto?
Or, vice vesa.
Did I just properly use the word 'vaunted' in a sentence?
I guess I can rest easy now.
The Red Sox are leading 6 to 3 in the ninth.
I thought I did too, better things to do.
But so far it is a very well done, with lessons for the present and the future.

We need to have a national conversation about ending the use of the word "manifesto"
Somebody up there likes us... well, maybe it also occurred to him independently. There is always that possibility.
Writers sometimes use the device of giving villainous characters in roman a clef novels a small dick. This is libel insurance. No one wants to take possession of a small dick in a libel suit......This tactic might work in the case of assassins and mass murderers. For some of them, part of their motivation is the wish to be famous and significant. If shrinks and talking heads went on television and explained how the killer was raging against the shame of penile puniness, this might inhibit other future killers from pursuing a similar course of action. At the Tsarnaev trial, a shrink can testify that the young man was acting out his rage at having a microphallus and chronic bed wetting problems. This should be the standard explanation for every act of tabloid evil. We could thus, perhaps, avoid the conundrum of giving fame and significance to people whose lives deserve to be forgotten. Let them be remembered as minor dicked bed setters.

Certainly not Melville!
Very good, except for that damn last typo. :)
Though, on second thought, maybe that's just what you meant.
As some have their forum due to bed setting, gardens, whatever.
I wholeheartedly concur with Williams here on the a... you know, penile diminution thing.
You know, I had a circumcision when I was a teenager...
If I start writing funny... I mean funny crazy... you know what to do ;)
If Titus' view is a true window into the gay male soul, then being small-dicked is just about the worst curse -- probably even worse than being fat. So getting back to Lem's original question, I posit that Eliot Rodger was both gay and under-endowed. It's circumcisional evidence, but it explains all the facts.
"circumcisional evidence..."
I got it hand it to you... wait.
"Were Martin Luther's 95 Theses a litany or a manifesto?"
he was staging a conversation
an "international conversation"
I think William has a great idea. If the media would make a giant whoop-de-do about tiny penis syndrome (whatever that is...facts are not important to national media) every time a tragedy like this one occurs...it just might discourage future ones if the notoriety will be as a pin dicked bed wetter.
If he was a closet pillow biter, I would assume it will come out when they get ahold of the little dipshits computer.
Well, I take that back, that messes with the media narrative of the privileged white male NRA member. I have no reason to believe that would come out.
Not like he is a half Asian steeped in liberal Hollywood bullshit Young Turks subscribing possible pole smoker or anything.
The media has no interest in preventing these things - their bread and butter is anti-American agitprop. This homicidal little twerp will remain a right wing nutjob in perpetuity.
Titus...for once (remind me if there's been other times) I agree with you.
"Fat" is the de rigueur bad fashion choice in the gay world. At least based upon the regular gay folk I know (and socialize with)..e.g., regular jobs, no outlandish crap, ordinary people, just like me otherwise, not fab, yada yada.
BTW..."Fab" is not Martha's Vineyard...IMO, "Fab" is the Russian River resorts near Santa Rosa, California.
And, I repeat myself, NO, Memorial Day is not a holiday. Thinking of it as such is to dishonor the dead who made our life styles possible, gay or hetero. You don't think so? Move to Afghanistan or Iraq then...and check-it-out.
Vietnam was more tolerant...check out the movie "Good Morning Vietnam!" Not very realistic in some sense, but very on the money in others.
Nobody was "vaycaying" anywhere fun, just rying to survive...some did not, THAT is what Memorial Day is all about. BTW...the day doesn't happen until Saturday...the fucking government made it last Monday for shits and giggles...as a "holiday"...the assholes just could not help themselves.
Stop hitting on Titus, Airdog. He's married.
Plus, you're not his type.
@Meade: Is that you aping Titus on your wife's blog:
"Fuck you we won"?
Here's a rerun of my Titus impression: chirbit. The actual text is neatly coiled in a little pile at Troop's.
There's not enough emotion and pompous pontificating on this thread.
But there is more here than in other quarters.
Let's give it up to the righties for giving our political discourse the reason-free, pompous emoting that it needs. Just what the nation cries out for: More emotion, less problem solving, more vengeance.
Clearly the prescription to follow for societies to become civilized.
Are you sure that needlessly insulting comment of yours was emotional enough, Xray?
It's funny how the righties think that anger and contempt aren't emotions.
As long as we don't show concern or sadness, it's all good. Only negative emotions like anger and contempt are the right ones, is what I'm hearing from Xray.
Thanks for that insight.
