But the whole "socially ostracized and bullied" school shooter is largely a myth. I guess the popular culture still considers it to be true, but it really isn't. Most school shooters have mental issues and anger problems.

And based on what nanslice told me above, it sounds more like Kylo is a religious extremist. You mention grooming by a creepy sith master. That makes sense in a religious setting (the leader grooming his disciples and all that).

Definitely. That's another reason the "school shooter" reading of Kylo never really worked for me.

I agree with the anger problems (low tolerance to frustration, resorting to violent fantasy to solve one's conflicts etc.) but not so much with blaming school shootings on mental issues. Some perpetrators of targeted violence have narcissistic/paranoid traits at most, but the vast majority do not have any sort of mental disorder. This is also a myth which needs dispelling.

School shooting happen at the end of a process, with revenge against a real or perceived humiliation as an important motivation. Sometimes social isolation and bullying are part of this grudge, not always though. It's more in how the attacker perceives it on the long run.

(I hope you don't mind me barging in to nitpick, haha -- it's just a very complex topic and it needs a lot of breaking down to not fall into stereotypes)
