In Hindsight, This Pickup Artist Forum Has Turned Into a Haven for White Supremacists

In Hindsight, This Pickup Artist Forum Has Turned Into a Haven for White Supremacists

I came to this pickup artist forum as a pimple-faced 19-year-old, looking for advice in the art of seduction. Now, as a pimple-faced 31-year-old, I must accept that it has basically become a recruiting site for white supremacists.

    This doesn't surprise me. "Pick-up artists" tend to be misogynist, and misogynists tend to not empathize with marginalized people in general. I'd be more shocked if a pick-up artist forum didn't eventually devolve into neo-nazism.

      Yeah it's a satire article. :)

        Well. I can't even tell apart satire of rightists and reality, apparently.

        Yeah I had no idea either, it read pretty straight. In hindsight, it explains the quip about the "PUA subreddit" at the end.

        Sorry, I forget that people aren't familiar with mcsweeney's.

      tbh "PUA" tends to be short for "rape apologist" or "full-blown rapist." Check out LMR or "last minute resistance." And I'm sure you know all about Roosh the Rapist.

      The only place for a PUA who's that deep into this shit is the wall.

    It was an innocent place and an innocent time. We were just a bunch of young, white guys eager to explore the world, with eggs for our Twitter avatars and a very loose understanding of the concept of consent.

    lol.

      this was my favorite part:

      voting on which women we were most attracted to, blondes, redheads, or other.

      looool

      • tazDec 16, 2016 at 7:20 PM

        yeah that was pretty great.

    Most discussion threads basically devolved into debating whether or not a hot dog was a sandwich anyway.

    Hahahaha
