Unfortunately, yes. The dual-purposing of the name can still be overcome because r/seduction isn't that big, but it is an uphill battle. I would have shied away from it if it were my product because of the association.
Because a lot of the tactics they discuss border on date-rape. There's nothing wrong with using analysis to improve your success in dating and sharing ideas with others, but when you have guides that talk about plying women with alcohol and "pushing through LMR (last-minute resistance)" we're not really talking about seduction anymore. Reddit as a whole has a serious misogyny problem, and their seduction community is particularly bad.
Just the other day there was a post by a guy who said that his date had repeatedly said that she's "not that kind of girl" when he steered the conversation towards sexual topics. When he asked what was she trying to convey by that, not a single person responded with the suggestion that maybe she didn't want to have sex with him and would never want to have sex with him. There's no doubt in my mind that the dissemination of the kind of worldview that dehumanizes women and denies them agency has led to actual real-life rapes, even if the PUA himself didn't realize that he didn't have consent.
Long story short, you can improve your dating success without reducing women to objects.
IRC is too complicated for most people. It's also limiting: by building a custom web interface, Seddit can integrate with Reddit more deeply than generic services can. For example, moderators of a subreddit are automatically moderators of the corresponding chatroom on Seddit.
Unfortunately chat rooms today and especially one based on reddit would be filled with trolls from 4chan. Make sure you have ways to prevent spam before people with ill intentions discover this site. The allowance of password protected private chatrooms would also be a good feature. Many people use reddit but few services allow for large groups to chat online together.

I ANAL but Registration Information is defined as username, password, and/or other profile information collectively. Seddit only ask for username. The same system is in place for Redditgifts.

Many women want someone who can seduce them. Dating isn't a zero-sum game.

Type in a nickname. Type in the captcha. Click connect.
On seddit, I need an account, and sometimes I have to type in the chat room name.
Moderators in both cases are fairly transparent.
