I am so pissed about this. These people have no idea what they are talking about.

Mods seem to be killing all these posts.

Where are we supposed to complain about this? Is there a kickstarter sub?

Quickly, I'm going to share my opinion. I will write a longer piece later, but this is just to start the discussion: This is a total bummer. The thing about Tofu's books is that it is not really that misogynistic. It is actually written for sensitive men and it is all about expressing sensitivity and inner awesomeness in an attractive way. Throughout the book, attractive is synonymous with classy, respectful, honest, etc. Since I started studying pickup, my resentment towards women has become virtually nonexistent. I am more of a feminist in a way. Now that I have some confidence and tools for being open and honest, after studying seduction for a while, I think I have forwarded the cause for both sensitive men and females in general. I think it is a real shame that Above the Game was so senselessly misinterpreted, because it is actually a real conversation about how to express your sexuality in a positive way.

I just received an email from kickstarter about the project being removed. Does anyone know what will happen with the book?
