Cho was basically, consistently immasculated by society. That's why among many reasons,he went off the deep end. He died a whussy pipped death, in a hate filled, whussy pipped world.

Yeah.
Poor victim that he was, eh?
Sick.

Go easy there... I think the point is that TO HIS MINDSET he couldn't get a break. It's more, I believe, about his interpretation, rather than any realistic, normal reaction to things.

The guy was a psycho... no one's calling him a victim. (I certainly am not!)

Can't you look just a little beyond what you think you might might see? This is a social phenomenon, where young men have repeatedly become stone cold blooded murderers. And you are not curious as to why there is such a social trend?

I am not making excuses for Cho. I say he is a symptom of a very sick society that consistently immasculates young men, and this is one result of such a dynamic. Same thing happened in the Columbine Shootings.

And I am not the only one to see it this way:

No. I'm not worried about girls, What we should be worried about are the boys. What happens to a boy who is told by the media that women are sexualized, they are objects, they are sluts? And then he goes out into the world and discovers they aren't? That they won't sleep with him? That, try as he might, they won't do all the things he was promised in ads, movies, porn? But they might be willing to do it with someone else, even women?

Depression? Or maybe misogyny? And maybe he starts hating women so much he, oh, I don't know, shoots 30 people at a college?
