You Can Buy T-Shirts Glorifying Mass Shootings Almost Anywhere Online

An Institute for Strategic Dialogue report found that clothing echoing slogans worn by mass attackers is being sold across major online marketplaces. Researchers say these shirts can quietly signal admiration for past shootings and, in some cases, possible intent to imitate them, making the trend relevant to efforts to spot warning signs among young people.

The report identified “Wrath” and “Natural Selection” shirts on TikTok Shop, Redbubble, Temu, Etsy, AliExpress and Walmart, and “Humanity Is Overrated” shirts on three of those platforms. TikTok said its shop bans discriminatory and offensive products; Redbubble said it had removed listings flagged by WIRED, while other retailers had not immediately commented. The report also cites two recent cases involving people accused of attacks who were wearing the shirts, but their presence alone does not establish intent.
