4. I think 'angry incel' is a key factor here.

Young men have been raised on a variety of 'entertainments' where the 'hero' always 'gets the girl'. In a 90 minute movie he may have sex with half a dozen women, or just one 'hot chick'. A 17 year old youth is no 'catch' for any woman. Given time, patience and proven success perhaps someone might take a shine. They were impatient and expected some sort of 'manly right' to the woman of their choosing. Unrealistic expectations. Hating the 'others' ties in with immaturity and being out of touch with reality. A sad story becoming all too common.
