Running from Life

To a degree, we all desire power-- lust for influence and flirt with the notion of control. Yet, authority may taint the blood of saints; the choice of what we do with that given superiority is up to us. Where shall such corruption lead? {Multi-muse/multi-ship/multi-verse RP account; open to OCs as well as all fandoms! This blog is NOT spoiler-free. You've been warned.}

TRIGGER WARNING …

So, by now you have all heard of 22 year old Elliot Rodger who went on a killing spree in Isla Vista, a community in Santa Barbara, California. One Friday night, Elliot shot and killed 7 people, including himself, close to the University of California Santa Barbara campus.

Prior to his violent shooting rampage, Elliot recorded a video titled, Day of Retribution in which he states, “college is the time when everyone experiences those things such as sex and fun and pleasure. In those years I’ve had to rot in in loneliness, it’s not fair.” and “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”.

About a month ago, after seeing some of Elliot’s YouTube videos, his family contacted authorities. Law Enforcement interviewed Elliot and said they found him to be a ‘perfectly polite, kind and wonderful human’ and took no further action.

Now we have media outlets labeling Elliot as a “mad man”, “spoiled brat”, “misunderstood”, “good human” etc and continuing to file this mass murder under mental health.

Understand that no one is saying that he did not suffer from mental illness, I’m sure he does. But we CANNOT ignore the fact that this mass killing was rooted in his hate of women (misogyny) and inability to properly deal with rejection. There is much to unpack about this incident, how it was handled and how it will be portrayed in the media, but for now I’ll post some tweets from those of us responding to the shooting on twitter.

I really hope you have 5 minutes to read this.

Some of you may know Lizzie Velásquez. She has a very rare condition that only two other people is known to have. It means that she has zero body fat% she’s also blind on one eye and her immune system is weak. Even though she eats 5000 calories a day, she will never be able to gain weight.

She was bullied in school but it was worst on the internet. Lizzie found a video made by people she didn’t know. It was called “the worlds ugliest woman” and it was only pictures of her.

She’s now author and motivational speaker AND MAYBE SOON HAVING HER OWN MOVIE. But only if we help. We need to raise $180,000. We’ve raised $120,000 so far and there’s only 9 days left! “A film following Lizzie’s life, her journey to the other side, and her mission to inspire a more positive online world.” COME ON TUMBLR, WE NEED THIS!

You may not be able to donate yourself but some of your followers maybe are SO EVERY REBLOG HELPS! Sorry for my really bad English, but we really need help!

"I will slaughter every single blonde slut I see." 7 dead in drive-by shooting near UC Santa Barbara

[historic-upstart]

'I will slaughter every single blonde slut I see': Seven people killed as son of Hunger Games assistant director carries out drive-by shooting 'because women rebuffed his advances and he was a virgin at 22'

Elliot Rodger, 22, went on a shooting rampage in Santa Barbara, killing six

He posted a video to social media Thursday in which he rants about how women have rejected his advances

Lamenting that he was a 22-year-old virgin, Rodger promises ‘retribution’ and ‘punishment’

He says he plans to enter the ‘hottest sorority on SCSB’ and ‘slaughter’ the girls inside

Women don’t get to exist. Women don’t get to say no.

[stupiduglyfatcunt]

This is fucking terrifying!! This guy was only 22!!! He seriously thought being a virgin at 22 was such a heinous crime committed against him by all women that he could go on a fucking rampage. People have tried to act like misogyny isn’t serious, like typical sexist “slut-shaming” and rape jokes are ok. This is what we get. We reap what we sow as a society. When will people wake the fuck up?

[cyber-worm]

This happened where I live, and there are male students who support and agree with the shooter’s actions. As a woman, I no longer feel safe where I live and go to school.

PETA, you are the absolute worst.  I keep thinking you can’t get any more offensive, and then you manage to surprise me.

This is reprehensible bullshit.

My little brother has autism. He is one of the most wonderful little boys I’ve ever known and I couldn’t have asked for a better brother.

He doesn’t understand when I get upset, especially when it comes to my ed, and so every now and then he will walk past me and just touch my arm so I know he’s thinking of me.

He makes me a valentines card each year. An easter card. A christmas card. Sometimes just a card to tell me he loves me.

He’ll google puppies and bookmarks the pictures of the ones he thinks I’ll like.

And to see advertising like this. To see people think that he is the worst thing that could have happened to my mother, to our family. It crushes my heart and makes me burn with fury in the same breath.

My love for him burns so brightly that heaven itself could not out shine it. I wouldn’t change him for the world.

Fuck Peta. Fuck ableism. Fuck the idea that we would have been better off with a different child.

i love sir patrick stewart more with each passing day.

[afunnyfeminist]

See, guys. This is how you do it. Notice the words “Not all men are like that” are never spoken.

[muchymozzarella]

He knows men are like that

his father was like that to his mother

he has experienced the pain firsthand, of what it’s like when men are like that

and he never wants men to be like that again and he fights tooth and nail against the men who are still like that

And moreover, he acknowledges his privilege [as an older white male who is famous/well known] and uses it to speak up. He knows what he is, and he never has to say he’s not like those men he fights against—he never says it, his actions speak loud enough for everyone else to see it.

Sir Patrick Stewart, everyone.

"Not today!"

[witch-of-the-diaspora]

During WWII, Irena got permission to work in the Warsaw ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist. She had an ulterior motive. Irena smuggled Jewish infants out in the bottom of the tool box she carried. She also carried a burlap sack in the back of her truck, for larger kids. Irena kept a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto. The soldiers, of course, wanted nothing to do with the dog and the barking covered the kids/infants noises. During her time of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500 kids/infants. Ultimately, she was caught, however, and the Nazi’s broke both of her legs and arms and beat her severely. Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she had smuggled out, In a glass jar that she buried under a tree in her back yard. After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived and tried to reunite the family. Most had been gassed. Those kids she helped got placed into foster family homes or adopted. In 2007 Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize.  She was not selected.  Al Gore won, for a slide show on Global Warming.

You know how some people say “rape culture” is not real?

Yeah, well, this.

A 13-year-old girl and a 14-year-old girl got raped, and for blowing the whistle on the rapist (a popular athlete and the grandson of a prominent former state politician), the whole fucking town turned against THE VICTIM AND HER FAMILY.

And this has happened before. Remember Steubenville?

i will never understand the phrase

"she looks amazing for 40"

40 isn’t old

and old isn’t ugly.

the lack of respect we show for women who are past a certain age

how we discard them and label them useless,

and see them as past their prime,

has always confused and frustrated me.
