That was his step-mother and he has portrayed her as a bitch. She ruled the roost and he didn't like that.
His mother is from China and he got on well with her for the most part.
This guy was unbelievable. He wouldn't take a retail job coz it was beneath him. He was disgusted to have been housed with Hispanics in Santa Barbara. He said he was above black people coz they came from slaves and he from English Aristocracy.
He demanded his mother marry one of her well classed boyfriends so HE could have a better life.
He is ALL over the web.
He wrote this on a body building site.Seriously today at my college I saw this short ugly Indian guy driving a Honda Civic and he had a hot blonde girl in his passenger seat. What on earth is up with that? I would climb mount Everest ten times to have a girl like that with me. I drive a BMW coupe and all of my life I've struggled to get a girlfriend. Does anyone else get disturbed and offended when you see sights like this? Someone make sense of this ridiculousness
Then when another man replies withlol I don't get offended
But then again I don't have trouble with women
He probably has power and wealth and She is probably drawn to that
THIS IS ELLIOT'S RESPONSEDid you even read my post he was driving a Honda Civic an old model Honda Civic at that?
He goes on to write,"I find it unjust that a white girl would choose him over me."Go to places where there are lots of people. I've seen it a few times at college campuses. The guys aren't even rich I saw one such couple get into a beat up car. Seeing a poor ugly guy with a hot girl actually makes me more angry than a good looking guy with a hot girl because it doesn't make sense
*Elliot Finds out women are on the whole not golddiggers vents frustration on internet* ...women are not evil so they are so evil....women:mad:
He can't fathom that normal people are not so shallow and status obsessed.
This is really awful this next bit ...In his videos and Facebook postings, Rodger also makes a point to flaunt and play up his status and wealth. Many of his Facebook photos are of his BMW coupe and the Mercedes SUV, which belong to his father. In his videos, he frequently alludes to his designer clothes and expensive cars.
Reading his manifesto, however, it becomes clear that although Rodger and his family are well-off, they aren't as "rich" as he wishes. Rodger frequently compares his own status against that of his peers. Whether it is being embarrassed by the neighborhood his mother lives in, or wanting to prove his affluence through the purchase of expensive clothing or vacations, Rodger presents an image of never feeling good enough.
Late in his manifesto, he writes:"I will always resent my mother for refusing to do this. If not for her sake, she should have done it for mine.[/COLOR] Joining a family of great wealth would have truly saved my life. I would have a high enough status to attract beautiful girlfriends, and live above all of my enemies. All of my horrific troubles would have been eased instantly. It is very selfish of my mother to not consider this.
When you read what he wrote, or actually listen to it, it is really apparent that this guy had such an ego that people could probably feel it when it got near to them. Of course he couldn't face the truth, and that he wasn't wanted because of how he behaved and treated others and how he saw others as less than. He wanted to use status to make friends ...people did not want to be friends because he thought he could use status to buy them instead of being an actual friend.
It is difficult to know what he was going through. He appears to have suffered chronic from shyness. He appears to have gone from low self esteem to ego mania. I think ego mania is the Ultimate in low self esteem.Rodger had what appears to have been an idyllic start in life, moving to the Sussex countryside where he attended Dorset House, a fee-paying school on the South Downs. In his writing, he described the area fondly, recalling time spent with his grandparents, and the day he learned to fly a kite on the rolling hills with his father, Peter. Sussex, he wrote, “was where I spent my early childhood the first five years of my life, and it was beautiful”.It was to this period that he frequently returned in his thoughts, describing his experiences on the school sports field as “the first inkling of my shortcomings”. Those shortcomings would eventually give way to feelings of alienation and self-pity, which came to manifest themselves in a hatred of women, whom Rodger believed had slighted and ignored him.
I think he judged himself with the same sternness and shallowness he judged the rest of the world and without giving worth to individuals for just being them you don't have it yourself.Rodger’s parents’ divorce, shortly after his seventh birthday, appeared to affect him deeply. “I believe it was my mother who told me that she and my father were getting a divorce; my mother, who only a few months before told me that such a thing will never happen,”But by then he had already been scarred by the divorce. “The family I grew up with has split in half,” he wrote, “and from then on I would grow up in two different households. I remember crying. All the happy times I spent with my mother and father as a family were gone.”After his father remarried, Rodger wrote that his relationship with his step-mother, the Moroccan-born French actress Soumaya Akaaboune, became increasingly tense. He also began to find social interaction difficult. His paranoia left him adrift from society and unable to forge meaningful friendships.
If his parents had any emotional intelligence and intuition perhaps they could have helped him early on. They don't seem to be very involved in his inner world and I would expect parents to be in there in the kids head guiding things at that age.One of the most unusual elements of the lengthy document is the record of his encounters with a girl of around his own age, who is understood to be the daughter of a British musician. She would, he wrote, “eventually come to represent everything I hate and despise; everything that is against me, everything that I’m against. I was playing innocently with this girl. We even took baths together; it was the only time in my life that I would see a girl my age naked.”
By 13, Rodger stated, he was known as the “weird kid” at his school. He saw all girls as “mean, cruel, and heartless creatures that took pleasure in my suffering”. He retreated deeper and deeper into the world of online role-playing games, his favourite being World of Warcraft, which he would play for hours, according to the manifesto.
He wrote that when he saw people happy it upset him ...so i guess he imagined people were happy he was sad. Instead of realizing they were most probably very concerned for him indeed. And were infact probably trying to help him in various ways.His parting words betray no suggestion of last-minute reflection. Pages and pages of violent, misogynistic ramblings end with a promise to follow through: “I didn’t start this war. I wasn’t the one who struck first. But I will finish it by striking back. I will punish everyone. And it will be beautiful. Finally, at long last, I can show the world my true worth.”
In the end he was torturing himself and just could not take what he was doing to himself.Rodger also wrote that he had originally considered carrying out his murderous plan on Valentine’s Day. He then chose 26 April, but was forced to postpone his rampage when he came down with a cold.
He is articulate and well spoken.
It's so blazé. 0 -

His videos and existential dread/despair exemplifed in them, represent the worst parts of the California material culture in all it's glory and grime
GTA V had a lot of social commentary on California and the American Dream, and had it down PAT.
(An ironic thing considering some people would jump at the chance to say entertainment like this would have incited it)
Just listen to this,
It screams adriftness, disconnected enough:
Also very relaxing and beautiful.calming paradoxically!

the most recent example was the Joker who became an iconic figure after the late Heath Ledger passed away.
Cesar Romero would like to have a word!
