I remember Strauss’ “The Game” being derided by several female reviewers as “creepy”, even though he wisely gave it a chick-flick ending. “Creepy” seems to be the invariable epithet for a beta who violates the caste system and tries to jump the prison wall. Likewise, Mystery’s book tried to be P.C. by such things as replacing “bitch shield” with “protection shield”, which was of course wasted on the legions of enraged feminazis posting venomous reviews. If you tried to apply different terms to all this stuff, I suspect you’d just end up on a euphemism treadmill. Game often involves dragging the hamster out of his dark fetid cage and into the light of day, which tends to photosynthetically transform him into a rabid gore-stained tiger.

“If you tried to apply different terms to all this stuff, I suspect you’d just end up on a euphemism treadmill.”

This is why we generally don’t sanitize it. Now that PUA has been dragged into MSM analysis there IS some toning down of harsher terms here and there, but that’s kind of a necessary evil to avoid being demonized across the board.

Back in the underground days though, terms like “bitch shield” and mottos like “make the ho say no” helped shake AFC newbies out of their social conditioning and start waking up to reality.
