If anyone here knows about Elliot Rodger and read his manifesto, I think he and Dylan had similar thoughts? I mean, the motives for their crimes were different but the way their thoughts went by is kind of alike.
Both of them felt rejected by humanity. Elliot felt rejected because women wouldn't give him the attention he thought he deserved. Dylan felt rejected because he was different and people wouldn't accept him for who he was. So this led them to think they were gods. Sometimes I think Dylan's rage and maybe narcissism?? are very overlooked.
Elliot's thoughts were something like women don't like me -----> women are humans who want nothing to do with me -----> I am not human -----> I am a god
Dylan's thoughts were like I have no experiences like being accepted, having a girlfriend, being happy -----> those experiences are part of human experience -----> I am not human -----> I am a god
He also thought that people were ignorant and he wasn't a “zombie”. Him not being accepted by “zombies” made him depressed and suicidal at the beginning but later on, that became anger.
Elliot thought that promiscuous men and women were disgusting and he had to get rid of them.
Both of them thought that society (or humans) had a problem and they were the only ones whose acts were superior, thus they were gods. They wanted revenge against society for rejecting them and also to show them that they were the only superior, misunderstood ones.
Sorry if every time I post here it feels like I'm writing an essay lol

Well Dylan wasn't shy around women, Elliot was. I mean I still don't get why Elliot thought women were just going to come to him and ask him out. The man usually makes the first move and he thought every woman was against him.

This is only technically true because according to the prison psychologists assigned to him, Dylann had some severe social malfunctions.

In regards to the OP I'd say DR and ER are similar only in that I think they struggled with some of the same mental disorders (and even that's a maybe). ER was vastly more sadistic and narcissistic than DR, DR decided that rather than see the entirety of humanity as his enemy because of social rejection that by and large blacks, Jews, and other racial minorities were an eminent and direct, observable threat to both himself and others, DR neglected to talk about his home life in his manifesto while ER wrote about it more than his actual ideology, I could go on and on about how these two were different personality wise.


EDIT: disregard

Pretty sure he's talking about Dylan Klebold, not Dylann Roof.

Dylan was shy around women and people in general.

He writes about it too...

Dylan might have started to see himself as “godlike” but not in the way Elliott did

Elliot himself liked Eric rather than Dylan. I can see similarities but also very different

He was shy but not to the extent that Elliot was and he definitely didn't feel as "godlike" as Elliot. The difference is that Elliot grew up rich and spoiled by his mom and was autistic. Dylan was neither spoiled and rich or autistic, at least it's likely he wasn't. But I've been reading Dylan's journal again and it strikes me how people like to focus on Dylan's depression rather than his anger and desire to revenge. Sure, the main subject on his writings was suicide and even on his goodbye tape he talks about it, rather than the other bigger thing but depression alone doesn't make you go on a killing spree at your school. So the whole "I am better than you, you humans" thing is what leads me to believe that was the reason why he went on instead of committing suicide first. Hell, he was surprised that he hadn't killed himself around January 1999. So it reminds me of the whole Elliot Rodger thing. They thought they were gods and society rejected them because they couldn't keep up with them. Of course, motives were different and I guess their mental illnesses were different, even though Elliot was depressed as well. It's easy to tell why Elliot did what he did because he explained it and left videos and stuff but Eric and Dylan left journals that don't go beyond the things they were thinking at an exact point in their lives. I guess their manifesto are the Basement Tapes but, y'know, we don't have them Rolling Eyes

Did Elliot ever talk about Columbine? I don't remember scratch It's understandable why though, I guess Eric was more explicit than Dylan

Dylan did have a priviledged life though. The Klebolds weren't poor by any means. You're right though, Dylan wasn't autistic. Elliot had aspergers which is what I have. I like that term better than autistic.

Eric Harris is more like Elliot Rodger in terms of being 100% serious with their grandiose, narcissistic, and racist beliefs. Even though Dylan Klebold was known for saying the n-word during the shooting to a black victim, I just think that was edge considering how he never mentions any explicitly racist stuff in his journal, unlike Eric.
