Being Red Pill aware and wanting to be the best version of himself does not make him a PUA.
Just because someone explained an unflattering Red Pill truth about you does not make that person a PUA.
PUA is an easy label to hate, so it gets thrown around by guys who want a quick, lazy, epithet to ridicule issues they don’t have arguments for.
It’s far easier to sell your ‘feel good’ Purple Pill by ridiculing your parody of PUA.
