it amazes me how he could feel so wronged and rejected when he never even asked a girl out. To him, a girl not falling over head over heels upon first contact was tantamount to being utterly loathed by her.

Kid grew up thinking the good things in life just automatically happen and come to you. You dont need to work for anything.

He'd get close to a girl and in a high-pitched whine go "eeehhh... ehhhhhhhhhh... wanna have sex? Pouty ducklips... ehhhhhh... I'm a nighelf druid... ehhhhhh."

Usually there is a fear of rejection which makes it hard to ask someone out (which everyone shares, although some more acutely than others), but it sounds like he had underlying fear issues regarding women in general from an earlier age. I could easily understand why he would loathe society and the whole "women don't have to do much to get a guy, but a guy has to work his ass off to get a girl" paradigm, especially when you factor in the previous issues. However, as was also noted, he was image obsessed and we're usually raised (again by society) to understand that image/looks is a magic key to finding a mate...which isn't false (so to speak), but it is always less taught that much like selling something, after the shiny ad that gets people in the door, you need to have some actual substance in order to get the deal done.

I've seen people say that they met their wife/husband in wow. So yes.
Come to think of it I know a person (not like some dude wrote it on the internet, I have actually touched this girl! THATS RIGHT, I TOUCHED A GIRL. LOSERS) that -did- get a bootycall from WoW. And when she told me about it I remember telling her to have fun while she was chained to that radiator in the basement, and when that happened to yell, "Oh god. He was right. HE WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG."

This is my thought, except for the anime. Who calls their dad 'father'? It's creepy.

Therapists can commit people and are legally obligated to if there's reason to believe the person is an imminent threat to himself and others.
The main problem is that for every weirdo that goes on a shooting spree there's 10000 that are harmless. It's easy to play the hindsight game, but I bet everyone here knows at least one person who, if they committed a mass shooting, would say there were obvious signs that something wasn't right with them and someone should have done something.

It is a sticky widget, and shrinks don't want to be responsible for being fortune tellers either. They will (rightfully) resist and disavow that responsibility if it is thrust on them.
From what I know it's mostly a suicide watch sort of thing, not a lock them up in case of killing spree sort of thing. And generally it's the ones who aren't talking to a shrink that are the greatest danger.

yeah. Sadly, this kind of shit is just going to make it WORSE.
Making grand vilification of people with mental health issues, will just make people less likely to actually go get help, or to admit they have a problem in the first place.
A therapist can quite easily, especially in California, place someone on a psychiatric hold. While on the hold, all the patient has to do (24 hours in some places, up to 10 days in others) is answer any questions about harming himself or others in the negative. Even if you know the guy is lying through his teeth, you cannot hold him beyond the hold time of your county or state. Being committed means that, during the time allotted, there is clear evidence of a danger to society or self, or total inability to function on one's own. The standard for being committed is MUCH higher than a psyhciatric hold, and for good reason (people get put on holds all the time that are no danger to themselves or others, and get out quickly).
This guy strikes me as the kind of guy who would get put on a hold, he'd lawyer up (totally normal), challenge the hold if it was any longer than 24 hours, tell every therapist the videos he made were jokes and he obviously had no intention of harming anyone, and be out.
This wouldn't be a failure for mental health professionals. This was a failure in parenting, there is very little a therapist could do about this without the kid admitting he was going to shoot people.

That creeped me the fuck out too and makes me think he was abused, probably sexually.
