Alek Minassian: Difference between revisions

Line 16:

Alek was born on November 3, 1992, in Richmond Hill, Ontario to a father from Armenia and a mother from Iran. He attended Sixteenth Avenue Public School, where he was put into a special needs class and was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome. He later transferred to Thornlea Secondary School, where classmates described him as harmless and not overly social. In 2011, he enrolled at Seneca College to study software development. During his time at college, he joined the Canadian Armed Forces for 2 months where a senior military officer said that Alek wasn't adapting to the military life.

After being ridiculed by some women at a Halloween party in 2013, Alek began to resent women (particularly "alpha" women whom he referred to as "Stacys"). Sometime after that, he met [[Elliot Rodger]] on Reddit, and after Elliot Rodger's [[mass shooting]], Alek came to believe that the attack had been part of a rebellion against a society dominated by "Chads" (alpha men) and "Stacys". In a Facebook post hours before the attack, he called himself an incel (an abbreviation for "involuntary celibate", a person who believes that his sexual inactivity is the result of factors beyond his control) and showed support for [[Elliot Rodger]], who he referred to as the "Supreme Gentleman."
