Online misogynistic social media leading to boys hating women more than they ever did?

[SSAW2026]

Is social media making boys more violent. The reason I ask. 18 year old planned and killed his mother after asking online discord how to do it.

He hated women. There appears to be a growth in online groups aimed at boys that hate women- misogny is huge online - think Andrew Tate etc.

This case below, son researched and killed his mother. No compassion just wanted to kill her since he hated women.

"In messages posted on online platform Discord posted later that day Roberts said: 'I've just had the craziest day.'
He said that he had 'beat the s* out of her ' and described how he had 'smashed her skull in so hard with a sledge hammer'."

"Immediately after turning 18 last October, he took advantage of being legally able to purchase knives to assemble an arsenal of weapons online and from homeware store The Range.
On the night of October 23 he recorded himself holding Ms Shellis prisoner in her own bedroom before leading her to a nature reserve and killing her with a hammer he had bought on Amazon.
The court heard how he spent hours on controversial gamer messaging app Discord.
The platform has been accused in the US of harbouring radical communities including white supremacist far right groups.
Conservative activist Charlie Kirk's suspected assassin, Tyler Robinson, is also reported to have been active on the site.
Roberts posted disturbing content that related to murder, violence, misogyny, weapons, and his intention to kill his mother.
He used multiple aliases on chat forums. His profiles had been flagged over his abusive and threatening content, including talking openly about killing his mother, described by relatives as having 'a heart full of love and kindness'."

Yes, it's pretty well known and well discussed throughout the internet, news outlets and documentaries etc.

He was so cold and calulating and discussed online his plans beforehand and asked for advice. After killing his mother he discussed it again online.

"Here he logged on to Discord and 'boasted' about the killing, referencing the terrible injuries he had just inflicted.
Shortly after 8.30am, police were called to the discovery of a woman's body in undergrowth at the Morfa nature reserve.
There was a lengthy trail of blood along a nearby gravel path, for more than 100 metres.
A murder probe was launched, with a cordon set up around the scene, but for four hours, detectives didn't know her name.
A crutch, black gloves and black bloodied balaclava were discovered."

You'd think sites that talk about killing someone and how to do it, then being encouraged etc would be shut down. It feels like a paralel universe dovoid of any emotion for the pain and suffering of others.

Maladjusted little cunt. That poor woman. I don’t think this is the result of the misogynistic manosphere per se. He clearly has some empathy chip missing and was probably always destined to be a violent little fuck up. The internet just legitimises and validates their sick fantasies.

He is very cold towards his mother who attempted to get help for him. Definitely something missing but encouraged and entertained online.

I agree, his mum was probably the only woman he had access to or knew. He's more Adam Lanza than Andrew Tate

It's so awful. His mother took a job as a teaching assistant to spend more time with her sons. One son is at University and the other killed her.

"On the recording he said: 'This is the moment we are doing it. We are going to hit her with a sledge hammer.'"

He describes himself as a 'we' as he killed her. He was deranged and should never be allowed out of prison, a cold killer.

He looks the type, doesn’t he. [sick]

Yes this narrative is certainly being pushed. I don't think it's obvious at all that it is really the case though

What does this mean? Are we back to amateur phrenology?

I fully expected to hear that happened in America. Rather strange to find out it was in Wales.

I think the rise of the manosphere is a problem but I think this character is just a twisted loser. Nothing to do with ADHD or ASD either.

I agree it's nothing to do with ASD or ADHD.

He does look cold behind the eyes as in he doesn't care that he's killed his mother. It's tragic.

I hadn’t heard about this case. Poor woman - how terrifying to be attacked by your own son.

I think that some men have always hated women this much but thanks to the internet, everyone can see the proof. it’s the famous Germaine Greer quote “Women have little idea how much men hate them”

There are men in the west who would happily treat women the way that they are treated in places like Afghanistan.

She must have been so terrified - of her own son. Horrific.

Not sure what her other son being at University has to do with anything.

What about the many posts on here about hating men?

Probably has a psychopathic personality disorder. Apparently 1% of the population has this. I don't think all men hate women, but most do and the rest merely regard us with contempt. All encouraged by the media of course.

Many of them don't give women any reason to do anything other than regard them in this way.

Nothing at all. I meant one is at university doing well and the other is a murderer. One is mad, evil whatever the term is.

Saw the disturbing short of him leading her to the park where he killed her and she seems so frail and is using a cane. He is another mentally ill adult child who has abused his parent to the point of death, see also Nicholas Prosper, Rob Reiner's son, Virginia McCullough, who killed both parents and lived with their corpses for years during covid. All typically loners being cared for by parents that they abused for years.
