Hello, college grad that actually wrote an award winning paper on this topic! Here’s some knowledge I’d like to share: There’s actually been studies as to why it’s usually white kids, a large conclusion amongst the criminology community is that those that often have more privileged lives (white kids in our society’s case) are less adept to dealing with stress and denial. Whereas minorities and others are more likely to cope and function normally despite stressors because of the constant stressors that come from systematic racism and/or other platforms of more limited priviledge.
TL;DR: It’s usually a white kid because their privilege incacipated their ability to learn how to handle stress/ denial/ whatever without acting out. The less privileged are done used to the bs and thus typically dont turn to extreme measures as coping mechanisms.

The majority of shooters are white, male, and have a history of violence against women. We cannot ignore gender when discussing this issue.
all of you guys losing your minds over the idea of sans undertale reading homestuck are gonna flip your shit when i tell you that one of the backer rewards for undertale’s kickstarter was making your fantroll canon in undertale
and that one (1) backer reached that reward meaning that homestuck and undertale canonically exist in the same universe
I want to know about the things going on in the world, and be an educated participant in society
but psychologically and biologically I can’t live my life to a continuous background chant of “everything is awful, everything is awful, everything is awful,”
and I still don’t really know where the balance is.
I’ve been thinking of this today and wondering if it’ll help me to focus on finding out what people are already doing to help each other whenever I find out about a problem. Charities and activism and so on
That’s the Mr Rogers approach; look for the helpers.
Look for a helper and be the helper someone’s looking for
