Why people continue to spread the lie than the it was a sexually frustated guy. No, it isn't.

It's a male supremacist. The male equilavent of Ku Klux Klan. It's an hate crime against all women and another failure of the NSA and friends to tackle real criminals and hateful websites.

The extreme mascululinist movement is dangerous and must be repressed by the full weight of the state.

Rape culture is real and extremely relevant here.

No. If it was, he would have raped a woman, instead of going on a killing spree!
Let's not confuse "rape culture" and misogyny!

In addition to all his videos, he has a 137 page manifesto. Someone could probably write a doctoral dissertation about this guy.

I give it 40% odds of happening in the 10 next years. A thesis, most likely.

It's sure than NRA is blaming mentally ill people, it's easier to put the blame on someone else than accepting the blame.

Wait, I thought you were blaming MRAs earlier. Now it is the NRA? Make up your mind! .

No, I'm critizing NRA comment on mentally ill people. Through, here in Quebec, media are heavilly blaming the NRA and the Republican Party, as they do after every shooting (given than there is huge pro-gun control majorities in Quebec, it's a popular view).

2) Violent computer games
3) Action movies

There has been many silly comments in that thread, but that one is the most ridiculous.
No effect has never been proven, most people playing/watching them had no issue.

And let's not act like violence is new. It's just than before, those violent people were sent to war (and we were very satisfied than they inflicted their sadism on opponents). Atrocities, abuses and other horrible actions against civilians were common, then. It's the same psychopaths that are doing shootings today. Nothing of that is new (what's new is us caring about it).

Anders Behring Breivik was 100% a product of a gun game combined with insane political ideologies found on the internet. Story untold. There's nothing more to say basically. Or do you feel you have more to add? Or you feel you know him better than me who's lived through his tragic sh**t for the past 1000 days or even more? YES, he did affect my life and greatly...needless to say for the very negative...

Video games + political ideology can't lead to that alone. A strong emotionnal dissociation and a lack of compassion is needed too. Video games are just an easy boogeyman.
