      OK, Mr. Kay, let's talk: First off, ideologues are not scrutinizing a killer’s social-media babblings as a means to support their own pre-existing political beliefs: they are reading the plain-language messages left by the killer to explain their motives. https://twitter.com/jonkay/status/989458677789704192 …

      Many killers post explanations for their behaviours before they commit crimes; its not atypical. Like Eliot Rodger (referenced by Minassion's FB post), who left not only videos, but a 100+ pg manifesto. That is not ideologues stretching to make meaning that fits their worldview.

      As did the Columbine killers, who left many, many video recordings behind, and sustantiating their hatred for jocks and Christians. Video evidence shows that Rachel Scott was pre-selected for murder for being a "Godly Whore." After shooting her 3x, they returned to her, noticing

      was still alive, asking her if she still believed in God one last time before they finally fatally shot her. I don't need to extrapolate their motives; I can listen to them verbatim in the paper and video journals left behind. Yes, Minsassian was, by all accounts, strange.

      However, many ppl who identify with Incel culture also identify as being on the Autistic Spectrum. And many talk about hateful misogynistic violence, leading their subreddit to being shut down. That is not extrapolation either. So, let's put a pin in the idea that

          "Misogynistic supervillains don’t walk around school hallways making meowing noises." It's not dichotomous: it is both possible to have behavioural barriers to proper socializing and be a misogynist. Denying this categorical overlap makes cementing your worldviews easier for you

          Loners and misfits have always existed. However, the online forums that link them and allow them to commiserate in a way that breeds hatred and homicidal ideation is new. This can have fatal consequences at times. This is our new reality.

          Also, next time you want to try this line of argument, perhaps you should engage it at your next family dinner rather than in the public forum. Stop wasting our time with your "sexism doesn't exist" bullshit.pic.twitter.com/VRyVmPMcSY
