Because I remember the genesis of this community online and seeing the most hateful stuff that I'd ever seen in my life being posted on the incel message boards. This is maybe like 10, 15 years ago now. And there was a guy on one of the boards named Elliot Roger who ended up killing a bunch of people and murdering men and women with, I think, like a machete. It was really horrifying.

And I remember just the very beginning of that because I was doing this dating coach thing back in the day. And these guys would all sort of gravitate towards that.

The pickup artist community. Yes. You get a normal guy and you can teach him how to talk to women. But then you get a guy who's like... Really, really far behind. And you go, oh, gosh, I can't really do anything for this person. They need therapy, not like practice at bars because they're shy and they grew up a certain way. Right. It's like a whole different animal.

Yeah. It is almost like, oh, my God, this person's going to not only are they weird, they're going to murder me. And it's like, no, they're that's not likely to happen. You're more likely to get hit by a car walking in the mailbox.
