    I’m p positive my comment was just dismissed (also, um. why?)

    So I’m going to write it again.

    Tyrelle Shaw, Who Attacked Asian Women, May Have Had Bipolar Disorder

    WHAT OTHER COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT HEALTH PROBLEMS CAN WE MENTION? DID HE HAVE DIABETES? HTN?

    PLS SUPPLY A FULL COPY OF HIS MED RECORDS ASAP.

      I would diagnose him as having an acute case of overinflated male ego. It’s a terrible illness.

      The fact that the vast, vast, vast majority of people with bipolar disorder don’t commit acts of violence in this way doesn’t mean that his disorder couldn’t have contributed to him doing so, right?

    Yeah, I think this guy was a racist, sexist pig mainly. There are tons of bipolar people who would never hurt a fly or only pose a danger to themselves. Let’s call him what he is.

      Yes! I have bipolar and it only brings out the worst of what’s already inside. I don’t magically become racist or sexist or convinced all people should respond to my flirtations even in my worst bipolar moments. He had bipolar & but was mostly just an asshole.

    aside from an EXTREME psychotic break, mental illness is not an excuse.

    My blog has over 100 thousand views and my designs are sold at Ame Ame on 29th Street and Broadway Ave. My work has been featured on Humans of New York and Respect magazine. I’m pretty established in the art world. I just couldn’t understand why Asian Women didn’t find me attractive.

    Oh, I can think of at least one reason.

    This guy was taught that maleness is earned through sexual agency and—failing that—violence. We enter our sons into a heteronormative process on these vile terms. It’s no surprise that young men who fail to meet unrealistic standards for gender would become violent towards each other, violent towards women, and suicidal. These are the ways we have engineered their agency.

    I suppose it could be a mental illness, insofar that our society manufactures some kind of gender dysphoria for everyone who doesn’t meet a set of exacting principles laid out for “how to be male” and “how to be female”. But the origin of the mental illness is purely cultural. Its treatment requires cultural progress.

      The manifestation of the mental illness is cultural. The origin is genetic with a heaping dose of environment.

    I know this is totally stupid reasoning on my part, but I still find it weird and surprising that the perpetrator didn’t look like, well, an ugly loser. Not that it would in any way excuse hatred and violence even if he really couldn’t have gotten a date, but this guy probably wouldn’t have had much romantic trouble if he’d been willing to stick with women who were interested in him; what a massive and fucked-up sense of entitlement it must take to be so enraged at the mere existence of any women who aren’t interested.

      Elliot Rodger wasn't ugly either. I admittedly have limited experience interacting with these guys, but I've noticed a lot of them are decent-looking and yet seem convinced they're ugly, because they can't think of any other reason women might find them unappealing.

    If you want me to feel bad for the guy because he had mental illness, it’ ain’t gonna work. Add this shit to “When Women Refuse.”

    Mental illness just isn’t treated as a priority in this country. It’s stigmatized and misogyny is normalized, so this shit goes under the radar until it’s way out of control.
