This sucks another mass murdering aspie for the world to use to judge us.

Son of Hunger Games director too.

So, he has more than one youtube channel. This one a little more illuminating.

i wonder if he was a member here. his rhetoric certainly sounds familiar.

I'm totally creeped out by the vid at 2:12... He has this adopted attitude, and he is the perfect gentleman and it's obvious why he's a catch.

Eew. I can't watch it anymore for now.

Well, much of what he's reported to have said wouldn't seem out of place in the L&D forum. Tarantella called this right a week or so back:

ETA: Soul crushing irony that the same knuckleheaded 'what misogyny?' attitude that can abound here (as it does in the 'real' world) is what will send those looking for a reason for his killing to his psychiatric record. He killed women because he thought he was entitled to them. You know, like he says he did and would. But instead of talking about that problem, which much of society would rather not, it'll be 'oh, he had Aspergers. That's why'.

Given his demeanor in the final video, I doubt he came off as the kind of boy that girls would want. Sociopaths/psychopaths aren't always the charming, brilliant Magnificent Bastards that our popular culture portrays them as. In reality, their shallow affect, cold nature, and penchants for manipulation and violence tend to drive people away from them. There's no other reason why people weren't surprised Richard Allen Davis killed Polly Klaas back in the early nineties; the guy had a history of committing violence thick enough for him to use as a deadly weapon.
