Many of the posters identify themselves as "incels," short for involuntary celibates, and some of the posts fantasize about violence toward women. . . .
An example of the sort of intense criticism of one another's appearance that is common on the site comes from a member named Colez, who writes:
He's not "ugly" in layman's terms, but he has no sex appeal. Short lower third and gay midface, with zero brow ridge. ... We must dig deeper.
He should've gotten a hair-cut, aqcuired neck tattoos and gone over the top with the sociopathic act, that would've gotten him hotties. Unfortunately, like most on this site, he's too aspie to realize it. Lock him up and throw away the key.
Another user claimed that Rodger was the son of Peter Rodger, a documentary filmmaker and a second unit director on the "Hunger Games," according to IMDB. The post included a picture of a young man resembling Eliot Rodger at a red carpet event.
Colez later followed up: "Nothing will come of this, you sensationalist losers. Certainly not national coverage."
But another member, manic786, disagreed.
We will be persecuted and hunted down like the vile abominations we are... Act quickly to avoid any link to this place.

(6,785 posts)that PUAHate don't hate PUAs for being misogynist asshats. They hate them because they were stupid enough to buy Konami codes to sex only to discover that women are actual people and cheat codes don't work on human beings.
"We will be persecuted and hunted down like the vile abominations we are..."
Who talks like that? Like we're going to be chasing dudes in furry tophats and Ed Hardy shirts through the streets with axes tomorrow. Given how seriously society usually takes crimes against women, I'd be shocked if even the next threat of a mass shooting against women is investigated before it happens, much less every member of that board tracked down for prosecution.

I have met many "normal" men who made the same assumptions, usually they get over that stupid idea by their late 20's.

If its just sex he wanted I guarantee there are websites where he could have found it.

(115,164 posts)He didn't want just sex, he wanted 'the girlfriend experience'. All the sex and attention and affection without having to put any effort in himself. It's a very popular idea with clueless, selfish men.

Don't think he was upset he couldn't get a girlfriend. Believe it likely he was upset he couldn't get the kind of girlfriend he thought he deserved. Suspect he had a certain image of himself and would not "settle". Seen this play out with some very entitled men.
