Elliot Rodger is getting more publicity than similar previous cases.  I think his videos and his life story that he wrote are the cause.  What I find most interesting is the reaction from various segments of the Web.  In particular, the complete lack of understanding from any segment of the world that I thought might be capable of some understanding.  I am not talking about sympathy here.  I don't care to what extent people condemn Elliot Rodger.  What interests me is whether anyone is capable of understanding him.  Given that he wrote his story with such remarkable clarity, I would have expected some people to understand it.  Certainly not the mainstream.  Readers of Salon, for example, can't really be expected to understand anything.  But we have a complete lack of understanding from the MGTOW crowd at the Spearhead.  We have the Catholic Right saying that he should have manned up.  We have the love-shies feeling sorry themselves as usual and feeling sorry for everyone else as well without showing much interest in trying to understand what real incel frustration means.  We have RAMZPAUL making some idiotic comments about race that have nothing to do with anything.  Everywhere I turn, all I see is lack of understanding.  Since people somehow can't compute the simple clear words that Elliot Rodger wrote in his story, they make up one bullshit explanation after another.

If anyone here finds one reasonable article anywhere on the web that shows any understanding of Elliot Rodger, please post a link to it here.  My opinion of humanity is currently at an all time low and I would be relieved to find just one example of understanding outside this website.

I think most here do understand Elliot Rodger.  The story is quite simple.  A man of integrity can only put up with so much emotional abuse before he strikes back.  Elliot Rodger's problem was that he was emotionally invested in modern culture.  He should have let go and rejected modern culture and turned his back to it.  Then he could have found solutions to his problems elsewhere.  But everyone he associated with pushed him in the wrong direction, encouraging him to try to fit into a depraved culture that he could never really be a part of.  If he had talked to us, he would probably still be alive.
