he apparently is 20yo, i thought he was older. im guessing he was suppose to be next new thing for younger genz/gen alpha to get into the manosphere. thiel had some odd choices.

[–] NathanDerWeise@feddit.org 54 points 4 weeks ago

Thiel is still an old, creepy gay man. (I'm gay too, so I'm emphasizing the 'creepy' here.) It makes complete sense that he'd pick a young, attractive guy.

[–] majster@lemmy.zip 35 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

Thiel is connected to this guy?

[–] OctopusNemeses@lemmy.world 52 points 4 weeks ago (4 children)

Apparently funded by Thiel.

It comes as no surprise to me at least. In recent years we've been hearing how these manosphere and right wing guys are funded by right wing oligarchs. I mean the basic production values are top notch. It can't be explained simply by the widespread availability of professional film making equipment. Which is the explanation I hear often. You can pick a random content creator with no audience who has somehow procured expensive equipment yet they won't be able to reach the same level of quailty because they don't know what they're doing. Plus they don't have the money to buy production staff to run everything for them. That in itself gives a false sense of capability behind the characters.

"The charges listed against Clavicular, 20, whose real name is Braden Peters, are one count of rape, one count of drugging someone for sexual intercourse, and one count of procuring liquor for someone under 21 years old, according to the records."

Looks like all charges are related to the same event.

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 53 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

whose real name is Braden

Of course.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 18 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

It could have been Braeden, Jaden, Jaeden, Braydon.

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 15 points 4 weeks ago

[–] king_comrade@lemmy.world 39 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

Yet another right wing influencer out there just raping. God they just love rape so much and it's so unbelievably consistent. I wonder how many girls he hurt before he got reported. Furthermore, will this go anywhere? The Tate's still haven't been sentenced and Trump and his cronies also haven't and won't see justice.

No surprise. What’s the ROI there, Clav?

I recommend the Channel 5 interview with Clavicular. It was all new to me and the guy is a trip.

He has been known for “bone smashing,” or using a hammer to intentionally break facial bones so they grow back stronger or looking better. The trend has been called potentially unhealthy and dangerous by experts.

Can I help with this? I don’t mean to judge at all. I’d just love to get behind that hammer. Please let me help you break your face with a hammer… I promise it’s for your own good and the bones will look better… uh some day… maybe.

If not, then I’m more than happy to break your face all over again, you know with a hammer, over and over. It’s for your sake.

[–] CedricWhaley@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 4 weeks ago (5 children)

Not sure why we need experts to tell us that breaking your face with a hammer is a bad idea.

I guess he wasn't good looking enough to attract any females and then got all mad about it once he discovered it's more about personality. /s
