I was speaking generally not about the killer whose medical history I do not know.

However living in Canada and having been trans identified for several years according to reports is it likely he was.

So I absolutely stand by the points in my post.

I’m pretty sure he’s talked about his meds in his Reddit posts according to what I’ve seen.

Apparently on Roblox he built a mall shooting simulator modelled on a real Canadian shopping mall.

One thread on Reddit's r/masskillerssubreddit discussed the account and its creations, noting that the mall firing experience appeared to depict NPCs in a shopping mall with spawn points for weapons and little customised AI behaviour, implying that its purpose was a crude attempt to simulate a mass shooting scenario.

As a general gun related point, it is concerning how many men claiming a ‘female’ trans identify are obsessed with guns/weapons. I can think of loads off the top of my head including the guy posing with a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire and calling it a terf basher or something and the man heavily involved with Girl Guides who likes playing with guns in women’s underwear. Also the PCSO using a baseball bat to smash a pumpkin with a picture of Germaine Greer on it.

Encouraging an extreme sense of grievance and giving these men and disaffected teenage boys off label drugs is a recipe for disaster. I hope the hard left who encourage all this understand the consequences of their actions.

For people who claim to think they are not behaving in a very typical ‘female’ way.

You get banned from Reddit for saying mammals can’t change sex.

But fantasies about mass murder are fine.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 12/02/2026 14:26

Yes, it would be laughable if it weren’t so awful.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 12/02/2026 14:27

Just to add though I think that subreddit is a salacious true crime one rather than a murder fantasy one.

Ah, Roblox, not Reddit!

Good grief, I thought that was for children.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 12/02/2026 14:33

I think he was a child when he created it.

All ages are on Roblox. Lots of kids but you can set up any scenario in a game you create, though it won't necessarily stay up.

There was a thread recently about a boy who was left in his father's care because the mum had washed her hands of him, he was 15 or so I think

OP was frightened of the boy, Im not saying he was necessarily like this shooter, but he was apparently aggressive and into violent porn, racist and misogynistic.

I was shocked really at the minimisation of the harm that this boy might have done to OP and her fear of him.

There was a lot of 'he needs therapy and a cuddle' type posts, talking about trauma etc etc. All of which I dont disagree with in theory

But the minute one of these young men/boys does this, not even necessarily murder but violence in the community we wonder why we didnt listen to the risk that these kids pose to society.

We dont know whats in this mans background but to some degree, Im afraid, I dont really care, what is important is that once kids start showing interest and fascination with crime/violence/hatred what are we doing about that?

I make no apology for reposting my own post from the other thread about this shooting over on FWR. Some people on this thread will never look at FWR as we are all terrible Terfs but they should read this:

The comments from Stephanie Davies-Arai in this article should be a wake up call to anyone who believes ‘affirmation’ is the right way to deal with these children:

""There are genuine concerns among campaigners and health professionals that some vulnerable youngsters with mental health issues might be being led toward violence, thanks to the cocktail of cross-sex hormones they are being prescribed. “The number of shootings by trans-identified young people should be ringing alarm bells by now,” says Stephanie Davies-Arai of Transgender Trend, an organisation calling for evidence-based healthcare for children and young people suffering gender dysphoria. Davies-Arai says she is worried by the rise in these crimes."
“We know the children who identify as ‘trans’ are among the most vulnerable groups – some are highly disturbed. And yet we’re not investigating this, we’re told to simply ‘affirm’ them.
“As soon as a child declares they are ‘trans’, all underlying issues are ignored and the child is denied proper mental health care – in fact, the activists claim this would be ‘conversion therapy’.’’
Davies-Arai says she is concerned about what so-called “gender affirming care” is doing to the physical and mental health of these young people. Studies have found that there is a higher rate of suicide among trans people compared to the population at large.
What happens when we give mentally ill children blockers to disrupt their development and powerful cross-sex hormones their bodies were not built to function on? We need a proper investigation into the risks of giving young people large doses of the wrong sex hormone.
“We’ve seen too many violent suicides* *and mass shootings from young people who are either on these drugs, or have never received the therapeutic care they need and their mental health has grown worse and risk escalate[s]. We need to stop seeing affirmation of a child’s trans identity as ‘kind’ and recognise it as negligent.”"

Are cross-sex drugs driving trans shooters to kill?

News that the Canada school attacker was transitioning has raised concerns about the role of medication in other recent killings

Why is that good news?

That he didn't shoot nine children.
