      Yeah they claimed the violent media they consumed made them lash out against the school. We lacked the language back then like we do today to describe the shooters. They were black pilled fascists, straight up. Them playing doom had nothing to do with it. I'm sure they were bullied but it wasn't the crux of their motivation from what I've seen.

        IIRC one of them was actually pretty popular beforehand- bullying wouldn't have been the whole story regardless, but it seems he wasn't actually bullied anyway

      I recall that vividly, even in UK news Manson was brought up.

      Marilyn Manson

      Which is fucking great because one of the twips was literally wearing a KMFDM t-shirt during the shooting

      Hell, they even came out with a song making fun of the shooters

      Really shows you how much research actually went into all the reporting
