Diving into the world of PickUp artists, a community of men focusing on reaching a goal of seduction with women, PewDiePie starts his video off by stating: \u201cI haven\u2019t slept, I feel like s***. But there\u2019s one thing that makes me feel even worse. PickUp Artists.\u201d Mainstream media coverage of PickUp artists started around 2005 when investigative reporter Neil Strauss published a book called \u201cThe Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists\u201d in which the author stumbles upon the secret society and decides to check it out, becoming one himself. PewDiePie\u2019s cringe reactions While watching videos of PickUp Artists, PewDiePie cuts away from them with his reactions, often laughing at the audacity and awkwardness of the men. Throughout the multiple videos he reacts to, he makes one thing clear \u2014 he thinks PickUp artists are creepy. With comments like \u201cthat\u2019s the worst I\u2019ve ever seen\u201d and \u201cthat\u2019s so weird\u201d throughout the videos confirming that opinion. After watching an artist in a library fail to get the interest of a woman studying, and a second one relentlessly trying to get a woman to come home with him from the bar, PewDiePie doesn\u2019t appear as upset about the third video as it was posted knowing the artist in the video failed. He soon realizes how many times the women in the video try to get the man to leave. Then, he gets annoyed. \u201cGuys biggest problem with girls is fear of rejection, right? These pickup artists have just created this shield for fear of rejection that they just don\u2019t give a s***, no matter how uncomfortable they make women. It\u2019s so strange, and I\u2019m sorry,\u201d Felix said before switching to the next video. The last video PewDiePie reacts to is at a PickUp Artist convention, in which they invite women to come so the artists can practice their lines. \u201cIt\u2019s the weirdest thing ever,\u201d he said before starting the video. When the last PickUp artist starts talking and asks the woman if she\u2019d rather have ADD or OCD, which are two mental health disorders, PewDiePie said: \u201cI think for a while people were trying to turn PickUp Artistry into some psychoanalytic game and it just took a weird curve.\u201d This isn\u2019t the first reaction video PewDiePie has uploaded, and we\u2019re sure it won\u2019t be the last.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PewDiePie cringes after watching the worst Pickup Artists do their thing YouTube, PewDiePieYouTube king Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg has found some more cringe-worthy content to react to, and this time, he\u2019s delving into the wild world of pickup artists.
