Behind the Bastards
Part One: From Elliott Rodger to Clavicular: The Story of Incel Evolution

It's so interesting that PUA hate is about not being like, it's not like, oh, we hate pickup artists, but slut hate is we hate sluts.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: From Elliott Rodger to Clavicular: The Story of Incel Evolution

Right.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: From Elliott Rodger to Clavicular: The Story of Incel Evolution

Well, they do hate pickup artists.
