What the hell is looxxmaxxing? Is it some bullshit "influencer" shit?
looksmaxxing is making your face have a very masculine features, square, or large long jaws. and clav proposed using hammer to smash your bones to make them heal and grow longer,(although i dont think he actually did this) some people are considering JAW surgery for this reason.
Why the fuck would anyone want to do any of this? Reading this it sounds like a description of mental disorder.
i have a prognathic jaw so i got the curiosity of visitng the jaw surgery community,(subs) and there are people that DELUSIonal. they are basically assuming thier jaws are all "misaligned or thier face looks wierd" when people in the sub who actually had/need it, said there is nothing wrong with them. at least 1 of them actually went abroad from the UK, to TURKEY and got a sketchy surgeon to do the surgery, and of course it was botched. they never say they have actual health issues.(they bypass actual surgeon consults in thier own countries by the way, which would deny them go ahead).
bonesmashing is a little more benign than actual surgery, which is more complex and invasive.
Body dysmorphia. A lot of incels have it and their communities are basically built to foster it
Fucking thank you. I scrolled for a while trying to figure out what this meant. I get I'm old but damn I ain't that old!!
Ugh I wish I knew as little about this as you. Genuinely jealous.
i happened upon the jaw surgery sub(i have a prognathic jaw so i was curious), and there are people this delusional, thier dysmorphia, believes that after watching clav/looksmaxxing tiktoks, they think thier "facial features" need some Surgery to "fix" it. the people in the sub, said the people need therapy, because thier jaws are perfectly normal, even better than average in some cases. they cant connect how serious a jaw surgery is, let alone you need do alot of pre-op work on your jaw. and they would even use "terms" that no normal person but professionals use.
Advocating unnecessary cosmetic surgery.
Don't forget weird home "remedies" like smashing your own face with a hammer. They also inject themselves with sketchy Chinese chemicals. I wish it were only as bad as advocating for surgery (though admittedly that's often toxic itself)
So those rubber faced weirdos (like Madonna). I thought it is young girls having thick layers of plaster on their faces and strong weird lips. I see lots of those on streets :)
4chan incel cult shit (which seems to have already been an Epstein class psyop) that’s propagated further into the mainstream. An extension of what’s been targeted at women in the past but even more politically convenient.
As follows:
Make young men insecure about their looks, and feel isolated.
Sell them a “solution” you know full well is snake oil bullshit. Not just for profit, but to intentionally set them up for failure.
When they fail, have them do two things. First, point at an outside influence to deflect blame. Usually this is women as a demographic. Then, tell them the only acceptance they’ll find is within the in-group (cult), and that srsly we promise it’ll work just keep trying.
On loop.
So now you have your volatile base to perform your will, AND a huge chunk of the (usually systemically underemployed) working class is refusing to cooperate with their peers which prevents organization against oligarchs/other oppressive interests.
some already had done jaw surgery to looksmaxxing, from an unethical surgeon of course. the jawsurgery sub for people with actual defects, is filled with these types.
A portion of it literally involves hitting youre face with a blunt object repeatedly for... somehow shaping a chiseled jawline? It's mostly a bunch of unproven toxic bullshit that's tied to the rest of the 'manosphere'.
Don’t forget the male version of duckface: sucking in your cheeks to highlight cheekbones and jawline
I suspect that in the not too distant future he will receive a lot of assistance from others with the breaking of his facial bones.
Gender affirming health care.
I think BDD would be more appropriate.
It's when you bash your face with a hammer to make it look better.
