Few reasons I can think of why RSD (and Tyler) gets hate in the manosphere:
- It's a pickup company, so it is automatically categorized with MM, Speed Seduction and other companies that made PUA look weird with their oldschool methodologies. Furthermore, just the fact that it's a pickup company raises red flags. "PUA == weeeeird" I guarantee that no one associated with RSD wants to have anything to do with the word "PUA". Today, RSD is about lifestyle development and natural game; have your shit together in life and your outer game will fix itself through reference experiences.
- I haven't read The Game (soon a 10-year-old book), but apparently Tyler was a bit fucked up back in the day. You can see how much the guy has evolved if you compare Blueprint (2006) to his latest videos.
- The RSD paradigm of gathering massive amount of reference experiences to get good at game goes against what manosphere (Roosh, Heartiste, et al.) teaches. Roughly speaking, manosphere guys have the idea of being the aloof alpha dude posting up at the bar with a martini, and talking to maybe a few that night (sniper mode). There's also the misconception that RSD is about being a dancing monkey approach machine who gets blown out by tens of girls per night. Yeah, admittedly there are socially uncalibrated newbies who learn about "beast mode" and contribute to the image. The other side of the coin is that
