Appeared with sufficient force to make an impression.
This is admittedly subjective (and probably incomplete—I don’t read everything at LW), but what I saw was probably mid-range PUA—neither grossly misogynistic nor obviously benign—combined with claims that there are excellent elements in PUA and I shouldn’t stereotype it by its worst.
The stuff that’s particularly benign in PUA is also the stuff that PUA has no monopoly on.
But yeah, I think that the true rejection is just how Quirrel-ish it is. Not harmful, not unprincipled, but just how it seems to be written for the sake of sexytimes alone.
