Frank T.J. Mackey would have a big following on social media and Youtube if he were a real person.

The first time I saw this movie, I was a young boy and didn't see nothing wrong with him. I didn't even know what a PUA was or hell, even what misogyny meant. Now he makes me sick.

Incels and MRAs would idolize him today.

Me included.

For sure. This also provides counterevidence to the idea that it was social media and YouTube that created this kind of phenomenon.

He reminds me of Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate.

I don't know Tate. Is he a younger, PUA type?

Tom Cruise actually worried about that effect

He requested Neil Strauss interview him specifically because he'd heard Strauss was writing about the pickup game.

He claims to have preached to the Mackey audience extras to ensure they would NOT believe Mackey's bullshit.
