Like I told him, that could come down to where he chose to get his fetish from.Get sex from massage parlors, and you'll rampage at massage parlors.
If I use Pornhub for my porn, and about 90% of porn videos are banned, why would I complain about Xvideo or Xhamster, when I don't view porn there?
And as I told you--you have an extremely narrow understanding of hate. The idea his possible sex addiction means these acts were random is absurd. The victims' identities aren't just some neat coincidence, like a coin landing on its side.
Western culture's fetishization of Asian female bodies is common knowledge, and well documented in scholarly and layman circles. They're often presented as willing sexual servants, especially for white men, all across our media. This is where the "me love you long time" caricature comes from, and these images become internalized so that you don't consciously realize they influence you. You add that to his already distorted views on women, and it's not hard to see how he wound up here. While I don't think seeking out sex workers is necessarily bad, he blatantly believes it's these womens' duty not to tempt him. The burden of regulating his sexual impulses are placed upon the victims, as their existence is close to sin in his eyes.
This IS a form of hate. It's certainly an intersectional moment, but he literally desires to eradicate an entire class of people.

No, that isn't a steeotype. Massage parlors employ a lot of asians, and "happy endings" are a thing.
The stereotype is that any Asian women at a massage parlor is a sex worker. It's untrue, and harmful.

Two of the deaths weren't asian though.Fact is, both myself and style are making a pretty big assumption. I'm assuming he does his sex shopping in one place, and that one place happened to employ a lot of asian women.
While he's assuming the guys a general purpose deviant, and could shop wherever he wants and chose the place with asian women.
For my own part, I can only say I'm the latter in my general purpose consumer habits. I'll shop for games on Steam, deliveries on Amazon, do my grocery shopping at a single big chain, do my social drinking at a single brewery or two, and I won't really shop around much.
No, I'm pointing out the reality of what happened. You're doing an Olympic level mental gymnastics routine to avoid it.
The reality is that he traveled to entirely different cities to hit Asian massage parlors. You making some cute abstractions about gaming don't really change that.
As more details emerge, maybe the picture gets more complicated; however, sex addiction doesn't somehow negate an act of hate.
