Tuerie en Californie: faut-il blâmer Hollywood?

Ann Hornaday du Washington Post fait un lien entre le vidéo enregistré par le tueur en Californie et certaines productions hollywoodiennes. L'enregistrement d'Elliot Rodger serait-il le reflet du sexisme véhiculé dans les films? Si Hornaday défend cette hypothèse, des acteurs comme Seth Rogen ne sont pas du tout d'accord. 

Voici u extrait du texte de Hornaday:

 "Indeed, as important as it is to understand Rodger’s actions within the context of the mental illness he clearly suffered, it’s just as clear that his delusions were inflated, if not created, by the entertainment industry he grew up in. With his florid rhetoric of self-pity, aggression and awkwardly forced “evil laugh,” Rodger resembled a noxious cross between Christian Bale’s slick sociopath in “American Psycho,” the thwarted womanizer in James Toback’s “The Pick-Up Artist” and every Bond villain in the canon.

 (...)

 How many students watch outsized frat-boy fantasies like “Neighbors” and feel, as Rodger did, unjustly shut out of college life that should be full of “sex and fun and pleasure”? How many men, raised on a steady diet of Judd Apatow comedies in which the shlubby arrested adolescent always gets the girl, find that those happy endings constantly elude them and conclude, “It’s not fair”?" Un extrait de la réaction de Rogen: “How dare you imply that me getting girls in movies caused a lunatic to go on a rampage,” Rogen tweeted to Hornaday. He added: “I find your article horribly insulting and misinformed.”

 Hornaday’s column and the responses from Rogen and Apatow touched off a debate about whether Hollywood can be assigned any blame for Rodger’s disturbing views on women and sex.
