      https://spectator.org/parkland-students-bullied-shooter/ … Right wingers are doubling down on the claim that young white men are entitled to friends, no matter how terribly they act towards said friends, and failure to befriend an awful young men should result in death.

      Note that Elliot Rodger made similar claims: He was entitled to have women come up and offer him sex, out of the blue, and women’s failure to do this meant they deserved to die.

      A few weirdoes on the “incel” boards backed up Rodger in this claim, but most right wingers wouldn’t touch the “men are entitled to pity fucks, or else they will murder” argument then. But now they’re sticking a toe in that water.

          How far does this go, though? What are people’s duties in this mandated friendship? Are angry young sociopaths also entitled to girlfriends? How far do we take the requirement that people befriend young men they fear and loathe?

          https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/27/opinion/nikolas-cruz-shooting-florida.html … For people still not getting it, here's how Cruz treated people before the shooting. Sanctimoniously telling kids to play nice and not "shun" someone who acts like this is fucked up. We should teach kids to trust their gut and not hang out with creeps.pic.twitter.com/fm3d6dz7l9

          Girls, in particular, are poisoned by this ideology that holds that men are entitled to endless coddling and multiple second chances, even after they bully them.

          It's so fucked up. If women and girls refuse to be nice to the weird creepy asshole, we blame them for his violence. If women and girls indulge the bad guy, we're told it's their fault for not standing up to them. How about we instead blame men for their own violence?

          This whole "Nikolas Cruz needed more chances!" claims comes from the same right wingers who argue that Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown deserved to be summarily executed without trial because, though their killers didn't know it, they had smoked pot before.

          Replying to @AmandaMarcotte @SecretGamerGrrl

          There is a reason they are incels. I fought against that kind of behavior inside the white nationalist movement when I was one. It was a big reason I caused a lot of anger from my fellow extremists. One of my own roommates had that same belief.. and I used to get on him about it.
