Oh my god, I just woke up and didn’t know about this. I’m so upset, fuck. I’ve been getting more upset by misogyny as time goes by, and especially over the past month, but then this had to happen.
It sounds like the shooter had high functioning autism, which is not by itself mental illness, although something else must have been there. (The Sandy Hook shooter was similar.)
But the post is correct: the cause here is the fucked up attitude from PUAs and other misogynistic horrible people. There are definitely other issues, such as the proliferation of guns (mass shootings are definitely the crime of our time, these things move in trends) and how society treats people who are not neurotypical or have mental illnesses.
But what we need to talk about right now is misogyny and entitlement and the cultural expectation that men should get something for nothing.
