Due to this anti-PUA focus and the debunking of the (often ludicrous) claims of PUAs regarding the application of “game,” the forum soon attracted sexually frustrated men for whom conventional dating advice wasn’t working. Many of these men were incels, and indeed, much of the lingo and theories one reads on certain modern incel forums originated on Puahate. The forum was split between those who advocated [[looks theory]], a precursor to the [[blackpill]], and those who adopted certain beliefs of the PUAs, in particular, the [[redpill]], while generally disputing the effectiveness of “game.” | Due to this anti-PUA focus and the debunking of the (often ludicrous) claims of PUAs regarding the application of “game,” the forum soon attracted sexually frustrated men for whom conventional dating advice wasn’t working.

While on the forum, it appears Rodger was subjected to bullying by certain other members of the forum. This, together with his probable realization that [[fakecel|many of the forum users weren’t as sexually frustrated as they claimed to be]], apparently led him to sour on the forum. Rodger ultimately condemned the site and its userbase. | While on the forum, it appears Rodger was subjected to bullying by certain other members of the forum.
