What were Elliot Rodger's early struggles with relationships?
So this entitled YouTuber is so mad about being a virgin that he's about to do something completely insane. So the YouTuber's name is Elliot and Elliot is 19 years old when this story starts and he's living in California and Elliot has a problem. He can't get laid, like ever, and he's becoming obsessed with losing his virginity. So he goes to college, hoping to meet some nice girls in some of his classes. But when they don't give him the attention he wants, he gets super mad and he drops those classes. In fact, by 2011, he's dropped out of two different colleges over this. And of course, at this point, his parents are like, well, time to get a job. But Elliot says that manual labor is beneath him.
Instead, he spends most of his time online playing video games and reading anti-women content. And on some of these anti-women websites, he discusses his beliefs that women shouldn't have any rights and that they shouldn't be allowed to choose who to mate with. But one day that same year, he ends up watching a movie called Alpha Dog. And in this movie, there are teenagers partying and smashing and stuff like that. But these characters are living exactly the kind of life that Elliot wants to live. And in this movie, the story happens to take place in Santa Barbara, California. So he starts to believe that if he can just move there, he'll also be able to live this crazy life of partying and smashing.
So he goes and he talks with his parents and he tells them that he wants to go to college in Santa Barbara. And his parents, they're wealthy and they give him pretty much anything he wants. So they say, aye. And they also agree to keep paying all his bills and they give him an allowance while he lives in this wealthy college town. So Elliot moves to Santa Barbara, into an apartment with a couple of roommates, and he enrolls in college. And on the first day of class, he gets ready and he like puts on an Armani shirt and Gucci sunglasses, and he thinks to himself, I am the image of beauty and supremacy. It's actually a direct quote from him.
How did Elliot's college experience influence his mindset?
And then he waits until everyone else in class is seated so that he can make this grand entrance. And so then he walks in and he's like expecting all of them to stare at him. But of course, no one notices him at all. And he like gets all mad. Later, he notices a pretty girl in one of his classes and he starts stalking her online. And when he finds out she has a boyfriend, he flips the fuck out. And he's like screaming and crying and he drops all of his classes in a rage. This guy also spends his time going to Starbucks where he like sits and waits for women to approach him. Like he expects an attractive girl to just come up to him and say, Oh my God, you're so fine. Let's go smash. And when this doesn't obviously happen, he just gets more upset.
And if you don't believe me, he confesses a lot of this stuff in the YouTube videos he posts.
I've been doing a lot of thinking about how sad... and unfair my life has been. All because girls haven't been attracted to me. I mean, you give a chance to all these stupid, obnoxious guys that I see, that I see you walking with, but you don't give a chance to me. Why not? I'm, I'm such a magnificent guy. I'm beautiful. You can't deny that. Why do you girls give those guys a chance, but not me?
I deserve it more. So yeah, you can see all this entitlement he has.
What role did Elliot's online activities play in his beliefs?
Like he thinks he's entitled to women. He even gets all jealous and angry when he's like out and about and he sees a happy couple.
I am so angry right now. I was enjoying a peaceful time at this beach park. And what comes to sit in front of me? A young couple, a guy with his hot girlfriend. I mean, who do they think they are? Coming here, sitting in front of me to make me feel jealous? This is the reason why I hate the world.
And so as time goes on, his feelings about all of this only get worse. Because one day, that same year, he's sitting at a Starbucks when he sees a young couple hanging out and like kissing, I guess. And this upsets him. It pisses him off so much that boom, he throws coffee on them.
