Rodger is considered to be a hero by the [[incel]] movement.<ref>[https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-43892189 Elliot Rodger: How misogynist killer became 'incel hero'], ''BBC News''</ref><ref>[https://www.thecut.com/2018/04/incel-meaning-rebellion-alex-minassian-elliot-rodger-reddit.html When a Mass Murderer Has a Cult Following], ''The Cut''</ref>
===Copycat attacks===
Approximately four years after the shooting, [[Alek Minassian]] killed 10 and injured 16 in a vehicular attack in Toronto, Ontario. Before the attack, he praised Rodger in a Facebook post, referring to him by his title of "Supreme Gentleman". While many suspected that the post was fake, it was later confirmed to be real in an interrogation video. According to Minassian, they had talked on the Internet before Rodger's massacre.

Twenty-two-year-old [[Jake Davison]] killed five people and then himself in a mass shooting on August 12, 2021, in Plymouth, England. He had posted videos online in which he reportedly expressed misogynist and homophobic views, expressed hostility towards his mother and others, and likened himself to incels. He had also used incel forums on Reddit to express hateful views.

Elliot Rodger was frequently discussed on the YouTube channel "Mumkey Jones", who made several satirical videos about Elliot Rodger and his "day of retribution". He also wrote a book called "Diary of a Supreme Gentleman", which was based on Elliot Rodger's manifesto and was a parody of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books.

In 2018, Mumkey decided to stop making Elliot Rodger content, although he would still get his channel terminated that December due to 6 unfair copyright strikes. However, he returned to YouTube under a new name in 2019. Some of his Elliot Rodger videos were re-uploaded by fans for archival purposes.
