A manifesto that exhibited hatred for the porn industry was reportedly linked to the suspect in a shooting Monday outside the offices of Pornhub’s parent company.
Suspect and Canadian native Seth Hatfield, 25, was killed after he allegedly opened fire while an officer and civilian also died during the shootout, The Montreal Gazette reported. Hatfield was linked to a 104-page manifesto that exhibited a clear animus towards the pornography industry among other things, according to the outlet. Authorities have not publicly commented on the document, Newsweek reported. (RELATED: Bondi Beach Hero Allegedly Assaulted His Father, Police Say)
The manifesto allegedly took aim at capitalism, Zionism, modern relationships, and other targets, according to The Gazette. The outlet decided not to directly publish the document.
The manifesto allegedly listed elite politicians and bankers, influential Zionists, international real estate brokers, oil executives and “pickup artists” as “valid class A targets.” It also reportedly listed “the headquarters of international pornography companies” as well as those who “actively promote pornography to the public.”
The shooting occurred outside the head offices of Pornhub’s parent company Aylo, leaving several of the building’s windows shattered, according to The Gazette.

The manifesto mentioned “hypergamy,” which it allegedly defined as a selection that occurs when women seek more attractive men while the “common man is sexually left behind,” Global News reported. The document reportedly blamed capitalism and feminism for the flourishing of hypergamy. The manifesto allegedly idolized communist cultures such as China and North Korea that prioritize monogamy and are free of “debaucheries.”
The document touched on the subject of police as well by allegedly distinguishing between “genuine” and “corrupt” police departments and stating he did not have a “one-sided view” toward officers, The Gazette reported, citing the manifesto. The manifesto reportedly suggested that others shoot at the feet or over the heads of “genuine” police to minimize harm while committing acts of terror.
“Be unflinching, go forth, and KILL THEM ALL!”, the manifesto concluded, The Gazette reported.
On Tuesday, Aylo told The Gazette they “will not speculate on motive or share unconfirmed information” amid an investigation, although the company acknowledged “a possible connection to Aylo and Pornhub.” (RELATED: Trans Lawmaker Wants You To Believe Porn Sites Are ‘Educational’ For ‘Queer Kids’)
A law enforcement source said a manifesto over 100 pages long was discovered inside a hotel room, Noovo Info reported in French.
An official familiar with the matter said the manifesto linked Hatfield to the “incel” — or “involuntary celibate” — community, an online group composed mostly of men who believe they are unjustly denied romantic attention, the Associated Press reported.
The document triggered warnings across the country from officials about possible similar attacks against police, according to the outlet.
The Montreal Police Service said Quebec’s Bureau of Independent Investigations is investigating the matter in a statement to the Daily Caller.
