Mr. Nice Guy
Jul. 15th, 2019 12:16 pmSpent a chunk of time this AM rolling through social media on this Bianca tragedy. It's terrible, but sadly not all that strange.
It's shades of Elliott Rodger, the maniac in Santa Barbara that went on a ham-fisted killing spree because the coeds at UCSB weren't dropping their panties for the "disturbed YouTube personality" thing.
I've run the lap and had my many struggles with women. I'm also (sort of) mentally ill. But I've never had any fiber of my being want to respond violently, and it's something I really can't wrap my head around. I get the misery that comes with struggling with women, losing out to total jackasses who treat women like shit, trying to reconcile the "nice guy" persona (which for some of us, is just the way we are) with the fact that no one really likes the "nice guy". It seems like that combined with any sort of violent mood swing produces some pretty horrifying results. I can't say I've ever felt violent towards anyone in such a circumstance. I wonder how tendencies like this aren't identified and there isn't anything done about them earlier.
The internet has kind of become a home for deranged lunatics, one and all, and sort of gives them a place to be accepted. They don't have the ability to correct anything because there's too many like-minded folks out there. Places like Reddit, Twitter, 4chan are cesspools for folks like that.
There's a lot of push for "freedom" of the internet. Frankly, I'm not so sure it's deserved.
