Victim doesn’t make explicit the link between attacks such as those by Elliot Rodger and Alek Minassian — themselves connected in a causal chain of male supremacist influence — and the prtoganist’s murderous rage towards a woman. Instead, it highlights the role played by pedigreed, authoritative-sounding commentators in fuelling anger at a perceived assault on ‘the masculine spirit’.
