“	All I ever wanted was to love women, and in turn to be loved by them back. Their behaviour towards me has only earned my hatred, and rightfully so! I am the true victim in all of this. I am the good guy. Humanity struck at me first by condemning me to experience so much suffering. I didn’t ask for this. I didn’t want this. I didn’t start this war. I wasn’t the one who struck first. But I will finish it by striking back. I will punish everyone. And it will be beautiful. Finally, at long last, I can show the world my true worth.	„
	~ Excerpt from Rodger's manifesto.

Elliot Oliver Robertson Rodger (July 24th, 1991 - May 23rd, 2014) was a British-American mass shooter who killed six people and wounded seven others before killing himself in a murder spree across several locations in Isla Vista, California on May 23rd, 2014.

According to his family's attorney and a family friend, Rodger had seen multiple therapists since he was eight years old, but the attorney said he had never been formally diagnosed with a mental illness. He was diagnosed with pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified, an autism spectrum disorder, in 2007.

Rodger had a YouTube account, and a blog titled "Elliot Rodger's Official Blog", through which he expressed loneliness and rejection.

Personal Life

He was born in London, England to an English father and Malaysian-Chinese mother, but moved to the United States when he was five years old, on this he wrote: "This was a time of discovery, excitement, and fun. I had just entered this new world, and I knew nothing of the pain it would bring me later on." His father is the filmmaker Peter Rodger, who was best known as an assistant director of The Hunger Games film, and his Moroccan stepmother Soumaya Akaaboune has acted in several Hollywood films. His family travelled often. Elliot would have friends, but not that many.

Life Before the Shooting

In his mid-teens, Elliot made a Youtube channel where he would make videos about his life when he felt lonely, sad and depressed. Around this time, the bullying has gotten worse for him as he was left to move from school to school. At the age of 16, Elliot would see a psychiatrist and he admitted that he didn't want to take the medication his doctor gave him. At the age of 18, Elliot completely isolated himself and he did nothing but played online games and made contact with a handful of his online friends. Around his earlier days, he got a driver's license and his own BMW thinking girls would pay attention to him but instead of trying, he would spend his lunch breaks in his car and expect others to speak to him.

At the age of 19, Elliot moved to Isla Vista where he would attend Santa Barbara City College. In his first moments moving in and living with 2 other men in a private residence, he would often get frustrated with his two roommates. A week after Elliot moved in, the 2 men moved out and another pair of men moved in shortly after. Elliot would get into heated arguments daily and physical altercations on some occasions with his two roommates, and he would often spew out racist remarks to them. But his thoughts about girls has gotten worse. Every time he saw a couple, he would walk away and lock himself in his room, he also threw hot coffee at a couple who were kissing at Starbucks and as a result of all of this, he dropped out of all of his classes completely in 2012. In that same year, he spent over $1300 lottery tickets, but would unfortunately not win the lottery.

In July 2013, Elliot attended a college party in hopes to talk to lose his virginity but instead he would get ignored, feel enraged at the women there and became intoxicated. While at the party, he would make a half hearted attempt to push one of the women who were standing at the balcony of the house. But instead, he would get pushed off by the men at the party who saw him perform the act. After he was pushed off the balcony, he was beaten up by the same group of men who intervened. Drunk and injured, Elliot left the party but forgot his sunglasses so he accidentally went to a different house believing that it was the house he went to earlier. Instead of finding his sunglasses, he would get into an altercation with the people inside the building before leaving. Sometime after he would go to the hospital and get surgery for his broken leg.

The Shooting/Massacre

Following turning 22, Rodger began showing signs of mental instability, such as posting racial abuse online and making videos where he claimed he would gain revenge on all those who led to him being alone. Then on 23rd May 2014, he stabbed three of his male roommates to death in their apartment, before hammering on the door of a sorority house. When they wouldn't let him in, he started shooting people randomly on the street using a Glock 34 and a SIG Sauer P226. Taking his car, he went on a rampage shooting at people randomly, before engaging in a gun battle with the police, which climaxed with him crashing his BMW and then shooting himself.

Before his rampage, he confessed, "I'm 22 years old and I'm still a virgin. I've never even kissed a girl." And on his way to the sorority house, he posted "College is the time when everyone experiences those things such as sex and fun and pleasure, but in those years, I've had to rot in loneliness" And carried on to say: "It's not fair. You girls have never been attracted to me. I don't know why you girls aren't attracted to me but I will punish you all for it." "I'm going to enter the hottest sorority house of the UCSB and I will slaughter every single, spoilt stuck-up blonde slut that I see." "All those girls that I've desired so much, they would've all rejected me and looked on me as an inferior man if I ever made a sexual advance towards them." Before finally saying "I'll take great pleasure in slaughtering all of you. You will finally see that I am, in truth, the superior one. The true alpha male."

Legacy

Rodger is considered to be a hero by the incel movement.

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.
