Do you remember the Summer ’09 LW flamewar about the proper policy regarding PUA discussion here? If so, I was referring to the people on one side of that. (obvious caveat about there not being two sides but fine gradations of positions in multiple dimensions, &c.)
Do you remember the Summer ’09 LW flamewar about the proper policy regarding PUA discussion
I’m new here at LW, and was unaware that this had previously been the subject of a flamewar. I guess I stepped into the middle of an ongoing battle without realizing it.
If this is the case though, then I wonder why so few other people seem to be stepping in on the other side of the issue here on this article’s comment threads. Was the pro-PUA faction declared the victor of the previous debates? Was some kind of detente or cease-fire declared?
Or is it just because the PUAs are karma-bombing the anti comments below default visibility threshold?
Hm, good question. To the extent that there were “sides”, the other side’s most vocal proponents aren’t posting in this discussion, though there do seem to be comments objecting to frank discussion of female preferences, using much of the same reasons.
Here, for example, is a characteristic exchange about whether PUA discussion is appropriate on LW, discussing relevance to rationality, where it’s being compared to discussion of football or makeup.
What? Huh?
