While the rest of the Western world grapples with the horror of the Manchester bombing, Reddit’s incels are looking back three years to another terrorist massacre — and lauding the angry young incel who carried it out.
It’s been three years since a disturbed loner named Elliot Rodger murdered six and injured fourteen others in an extended rampage in Isla Vista, California, leaving behind a series of videos and a book-length manifesto detailing his deep hatred of, and equally intense desire for, women. Had he been able to get inside the sorority that was his primary intended target, the carnage would have likely been far worse.
Naturally, many of Reddit’s incels — self-described “involuntary celibates” — have embraced Rodger as an incel hero. In a series of posts in the Incels subreddit today, the regulars are celebrating what they call “Saint Elliot’s Day.”
In one thread with several dozen upvotes titled “Happy Saint Elliot’s day! The third anniversary of the day of retribution!” numerous Reddit incels sing the praises of the man they hail as the “supreme gentleman.”
A Redditor called thebillstone really, really wishes that Rodger had been able to get inside that sorority.
Naturally, some visitors to the subreddit are appalled by the celebration of a murderer:
But in fact not all incels think Rodger was a hero. Some are appalled to see fellow incels lionizing a mass killer — something that, at the very least, makes incels look bad.
Others look down on Rodger because his body count wasn’t higher, and not enough of his victims were women.
Still others complain that Rodger was simply too good-looking to be a true incel.
The Incels subreddit may be the scariest place on Reddit.
I reckon I’m not sure about what there is about GOSJM’s anecdote that invited gaslighting.
yzek is a returning…um…adversary who has been doing this for quite a while now. Dishonest, disigenuous nuggets have always been yzek’s baliwick.

Okay, I’m a day late and three pages short here, but here goes:
Oh incels, dear incels, the exact same could be said (and with a great deal more accuracy) about you. I mean, who but an utter inhuman could type such nonsense as you just did there?
Or this:
I mean seriously. What’s so human about dehumanizing half the human race and calling it “completely bereft of virtue”?
And no, I don’t believe anyone who insists he was only talking about sorority girls there. There’s literally no difference between them and the rest of us except that they’ve joined some live-in college club with a name spelled out in Greek letters, whose purpose I can’t for the life of me fathom because I never was in one and specifically chose a university, among other things, because it had abolished all the frats. No, dudes, there’s nothing markedly different between them and us. We’re all female. We’re all individuals, too. DEAL WITH IT.
And either deal with us, or don’t. Your choice. You’re not involuntarily anything. If you refuse to deal with us because you think we’re not human, guess what? We don’t want anything to do with YOU, either. And it’s because you’re an asswipe who can’t actually connect two dots or interact humanly for shit, not because there’s something broken and wrong about US. Yeah, there’s something wrong with us, all right: We can’t stand prats who can’t take responsibility for their own self-made misery. And who think we owe them something because (a) they have a penis, and (b) they are a dick.
Pot, meet kettle. Right over there in the mirror over your bathroom sink. Go on now.

About boardgaming, if you also like a bit manga, i suggest you have a look at a manga called “Hôkago Saikoro Club”. It is about schoolgirls in Kyôto who are playing boardgames because one have an arbeit in boardgames shop. The manga is in fact a way to present various boardgames, especially foreign ones (from a japanese point of view, of course, because they do not produce a lot of them), and there are some chapters about the conception (and the difficulties of concieving) of a boardgame. Of course, it is not as valuable of a formal book about boardgame conception, but it may give you some ideas.
About steampunk, it may be possible to give some kind of shadowrun touch to your game. Something like the 20’s, with magic (mediums, Crowley style black magic…), horror (Lovercraft style) and fantasy (usual fantasy species ?) meet mekanika stuff.
If you already give more description, i am sorry to ask again, but have you already think about the gamplay system ? Full board and tokens ? Cards ? Board, tokens and dices ? Board, tokens and cards ? Full set ?
Have a nice day.
BITCH PLEASE!!! X GONNA GIVE IT TO YA-
Lol
Leave it to feminazis to freak out over a reddit thread with only 37 upvotes. There is equally ridiculous things if not worse on there with 1000s.
My respect for Elliott Rodger just went up bigly since I noticed he wrote his manifesto in Old Church Slavonic.
This thread gets the troll collector award!
I love that the pre-Steven troll fucked up his own nym.
Congratulations! You couldn’t even insult correctly!
If anything Elliot Rodger is an example of how being an insufferable asshole is the reason women (and probably everyone) didn’t want anything to do with him. It isn’t the long list of other excuses that incels and nice guys use to shift accountability. Even Elliot Rodger would get pissed off when he saw “ugly” men with women. It turns out, when you’re a likeable person, people like you.
Guys, it is a terrible, it is the worst to take a life, why so negative, what he did was so wrong, and so bad, I’m talking about Rodger. That is the worst, I cant get over how terrible it is.. guys, be true to yourselves, be good, be kind, be gracious, be honest, be morally good, respect yourself and others, and respect your elders. dont fall into drugs, or alcohol, and trust me a young lady will notice. There is nothing wrong with being celibate, it’s actually good, there is goodness in being celibate, saving yourself for the one you love is wonderful. I’m writing this because we need to do better to take care our citizens, and we have to start caring more.. so I’m starting with this message.
Billy, you can tell people to be better without telling them to “save themselves for the one they love” maybe not slut shame people for wanting sex and having sex. Thanks.
Lainy, I did not mean it that way, I think that when we have sex with someone who we really love, and who loves us back, its beautiful, wonderful, and on another level of intimacy. There is nothing that can compare to it. If you want to have sex, or having sex, go for it.. I apologize if it came out wrong, but that’s all I meant.
