I do agree that on net, guys into PUA are decent well meaning human beings. When I think about it from “what would I do if I were a predator” perspective, I do get the answer that learning from and trying to influence the PUA community would be a fabulous idea with many potential upsides.
I would guess that unless there is a lot of active effort to keep guys who enjoy partaking in predatory behavior out, if we assume that such men exist, I would think that there would be some active ones in the PUA community.

Sure. If 6% of men are rapists in the general population, then I would expect 6% of PUA men to be rapists too, unless there was something actively selecting for or against rapists in the PUA set. That’s just the base rate; it’s no different from expecting 6% of men named “John” to be rapists.
