Ακριβώς! Ο τύπος κατέληξε στη αποτοξίνωση και άλλαξε εντελώς ρότα. Προσθέτω και μερικά άρθρα στην αγγλική:"Hundreds of people packed into the Sydney Opera House on Saturday to see Neil Strauss, the author who taught men how to manipulate a woman into having sex with them by "peacocking" (wearing something obnoxious to stand out) and "negging" (undermining her self-worth via subtle insults) in his bestselling book The Game: Undercover in the Secret Society of Pick-up Artists.But Strauss said his life as a pick-up artist landed him in strife with his girlfriend, rehab, and a pool of his "own tears". And his mother has not talked to him since the book was published""There is a lack of empathy or understanding [in the book]," he admitted."His latest book, The Truth, which was almost called Game Over, is an account of his "life crisis" which he said was a consequent of his "own behaviour".https://www.google.gr/amp/s/www.buzzfeed.com/amphtml/ginarushton/game-over+"The Game: My manual for picking up women turned me into a miserable sex addict""It was the mid-2000s when Strauss first released The Game and The Rules of The Game, memoirs of his own lavish sex life and a sexual handbook for the average beta-male. Most famously, he introduced the ideas of “peacocking” (wearing loud and outrageous outfits in order to stand out in a group of men), and “negging”, subtly undermining a woman with a backhanded compliment or being dismissive, to make her yearn for approval.""The Game was clearly a portrait of a dysfunctional man who saw women as commodities to be won". https://www.google.gr/amp/s/www.telegraph.co.uk/books/what-to-read/neil-strauss-the-game-the-truth-miserable-sex-addict/amp/---Ενα επιπλέον aspect, που θα ήθελα να προσθέσω, είναι ότι οι "incels" δεν είναι καθόλου άσχετοι με τους PUA. Έχουν δημιουργηθεί clusters απογοητευμένων ανδρών [στους οποίους, ενδεχομένως, οι ήδη προβληματικές PUA τεχνικές, δεν "δούλεψαν" και άρα αυτοί στρέφονται με (δις) μένος κατά των γυναικών, αλλά και κατά των pua ανδρών ("Αlpha" και καλά males)]. Το Puahate.com, κάτι που είχε ξεκινήσει, θεωρητικά όπως μαθαίνω, ως κριτική/ ξεσκέπασμα/ σάτυρα προς τους αγύρτες και οπορτουνίστες ΡUA gurus και τις τεχνικές τους, κατέληξε να φιλοξενεί άτομα τέτοιας υποστάθμης και υπαρξιακής αστοχίας, που έκαναν σχόλια του στυλ: "νεκροφιλία, ακόμη και όταν είναι οι γυναίκες είναι νεκρές, μπορούν να πηδηχτούν πιο εύκολα από τον μέσο άνδρα".Ο δολοφόνος και αυτόχειρας Elliot Rodgers, ήταν -εκτός όλων των άλλων- απογοητευμένος pua, μέλος του puahate κ.ά. Οι μετέπειτα δολοφόνοι Nicolas Cruz και Alek Minassian, είχαν τον Elliot ως είδωλο, όπως και πολλοί άλλοι."The extreme misogyny of 'pick-up artist' hate"."The mass killing in California last weekend has turned the spotlight on the online world of "pick-up artists" - and anti-"pick-up artists".There was a storm on Twitter when Elliot Rodger's misogynistic ramblings and videos were discovered online. Bloggers and commentators pointed out he used language familiar to the "pick-up artist" (PUA) community - an industry dedicated to teaching men the art of attracting women"."The community was popularised by the 2005 book The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists by Neil Strauss, which details the author's adventures in the PUA world. And it has since become big business online with hundreds of books, DVDs and pick-up coaches offering to teach men the latest tricks - for a price"."But the movement has also has spawned an extreme offshoot - the world of anti-"pick-up artists", some of whom blame their lack of success with women on both the PUA industry, and the women themselves.One anti-PUA site, PUAHate.com, ostensibly warned men away from "pick-up artist" gurus out to make money. It became a magnet for misogynistic rants by Elliott Rodger and others, and was taken down after the attack in California".https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-27640474+"Elliot Rodger: How misogynist killer became 'incel hero'""In the document, he described himself as the "ideal magnificent gentleman" and could not comprehend why women would not want to have sex with him.He planned his murderous rampage as a "Day of Retribution" and said he had "no choice but to exact revenge on the society" that had "denied" him sex and love"https://www.google.gr/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/world-us-canada-43892189
