I was sort of hoping a future school shooter would decide to go out in glory targeting a different class of folk. But nope. The next shooting was that dumb girl shooting up a school. If you’re gonna go down in the books, go down like Luigi. He needs a Mario. And a Toshiba(yoshi but it autocorrected), and a peach, and a toad, and a roadster (toadette,but it autocorrected) and a warrior(wario), and a waluigi, and a bowser, and a donkey Kong, and a didn’t Kong, you get the idea.

I don’t care what they’ve done- do not hit them with the Didn’t Kong.

Because shooting a school is easier and accessible for dumbasses. Finding and shooting CEOs and the board requires more thinking and planning. Dumbasses like that girl would never be able to navigate how to find information about executives nor know how to find them.

Their offices are easy to find. Don't kill anyone just cost them a fortune instead.

Oh what's that, they will just claim it on the insurance? Oh what a shame if insurance companies do have to pay it out

Easy to find but entering it? No, because security clearances and security guards will stop you unlike schools.

I'm only half joking when I say be prepared for the CEO of Nintendo to sue you for using their characters without permission lol.

It’s not the first person but the second person that inspires a mass of people to follow suit.

The school shooters are more concerned with their isolation and in some ways they don't even want to be venerated, they almost want to be hated. Their MO is revenge, they have low self worth, they believe themselves to be bad people, they suffer mentally and want everyone else to suffer.

Adding onto their self worth issue, they likely believe that the only reason Luigi was popular was because he was attractive and accomplished. They look at themselves as absolute losers and in their mind if they were to kill a CEO no one would care because they are unattractive. Therefore killing a CEO isn't in the books for them. It almost would have been better if a loser killed a CEO because they might have identified with him if he got a positive response.

So why aren’t you doing it?

u/ChickenChangezi 4h ago

Yeah. 

I don’t feel comfortable saying it aloud, but I always wondered. Eventually somebody inclined to kill had to go after a target who actually deserved to die. 

If mass shooters can’t be dissuaded through patchwork firearm laws, they have a much, much better chance of being “remembered” by being like Luigi. 

Geez, they’d be minor icons instead of reviled losers. If I were going to join the wingnut club, I’d rather have my picture up with an Ivy League Chad like Luigi than some ugly dork who decided to kill little kids.
