The PUA-types and this alpha/beta/sigma nonsense really appeals to the incel crowd. They believe that they can somehow game relationships in order to get sex. Like, they do steps a, b, c--which is the kind of systems PUAs are/were pushing--and you get laid.
The whole thing is a constellation; I don't think any of those groups exists in a vacuum, and there's lots of points where they cross over.
