Let’s face it, the PUA/Game Sphere is horrific. Roosh’s site and his horrifying Return of Kings are awful. r/redpill in Reddit is monstrous. Heartiste is so disgusting I can’t even read it.
The PUA/Gamesphere is not monolithic, though it might as well be. What it is at the end of the day is rather innocuous: men talking to other men about how to get women. The PUA bloggers are attempting to discuss how to get women. A lot of them are putting out their own ideas about how to do it. This in turn is picked up by the commenters, and you get whole discussions going. Roosh’s sites are not about Roosh telling you how to get women, though he is doing that. There are all sorts of other authors on there putting in their take on the subject, and there are countless commenters throwing in their own two bits. It’s a discussion group.
The PUA/Gamesphere has no particular guiding values other than a basic core view laid out by Roosh, Roissy and the rest of the ignoble bunch. Advise varies but centers around an essential core of concepts.
The Gamesphere is science-based. I have been watching it for a while and many of these men have actually been doing amateur scientific experiments to see what works and what doesn’t. And the Gamesphere is full of “I tried this and it didn’t work. Then I tried this instead and it worked.”
After you have hung around for awhile, you start to notice that there is a general redpilled sort of view of heterosexual relations that they are putting out. You can argue until you are blue in the face that it is all lies, but there are legions of reports of men trying on these attitudes and methods and often reporting dramatically better success with women.
The Gamesphere, in all of its awfulness and horror, is simply the ugly, brutal and vicious truths about heterosexual relationships. But Good God is that depressing.
