"The 0-10 “PSL rating” scale is named after “PUAhate Sluthate Lookism”, a list of three early incel and manosphere forums. PUAHate earned some notoriety following the 2014 Isla Vista killings, perpetrated by a 22-year-old man named Elliot Rodger, who had posted extensively about his incel beliefs on the forum. Though it and the other forums mentioned in the acronym are no longer online, they’ve been replaced with an active network of online communities where members commiserate in threads with titles like “if guns were easily accessible as in US, most of us have had gone ER or roped by now”.
All of the outputs of the chatbot are peppered with jargon from these forums, like “mogging” (dominating another person in terms of looks, status, and the other characteristics these men believe women prioritize most strongly), “hardmaxxing” (medical interventions like plastic surgery and hormone therapy), “softmaxxing” (less invasive improvements to a person’s attractiveness, such as grooming, fitness training, or practices like mewing), and “SMV” (“sexual market value”, a pseudo-economic ranking of a person’s attractiveness).
Some of the feedback is explicitly racist, with the chatbot identifying one set of photos as “Low Normie / High Subhuman Borderline (White)” and offering to explain “how and why being White (Caucasoid) helps in the context of PSL rating and SMV classification”."
