      it being pushed so desperately by NY Post/Fox News with such shit evidence makes me even more convinced the shooter is a groyper (or at the very least a nihilistic terminally online gamer which… isnt all that different from a groyper tbh)

        I was very confident he’s a groyper yesterday but at this point I think this guy might just be trolling to get called as many contradictory ideologies as possible. AP will be saying monarchist, NYT maoist, HackerNews Luigiist, Breitbart Black nationalist, Haaretz Kahanist, RT Azov, The Guardian Blairite, El Pais TERF, PinkNews truscum, and the Miami Herald will say he admires Castro.

          But isn’t that part of the whole groyper thing though, being intentionally incoherent in a way that only makes sense to other groypers?

          At least that’s how I understand it.

            If you make that the metric to classify by you’d end up calling most Americans groypers.

            I had a look at Tyler’s alleged Steam account’s reviews of games and, while he’s definitely a g*mer, there was nothing indicative of him being bigoted or in right wing circles. Even leaving reviews of games is something that contrasts a bit with the idea that he’s a groyper; those guys are usually not writing things like this:

            I like this, once you’ve beat the included levels there’s a ton of workshop levels to play, and a level creator. very math focused, albeit easy math.

            On a review of Pictopix.

            Honestly, it seems like maybe the reason he looks like he’s so “intentionally incoherent” is that the shooting wasn’t exactly ideologically motivated, at least not in the way many high profile political assassinations are.
