I don’t know why these dudes want to look like they’re choking on a shovel.
How the hell you’d inject gold?

That sounds like a fucking terrible idea good lord
TIL this 👆
This is what is known as a “bad idea”
Definitely a Darwin Award winner.
Article also reminds me of a Superman fanboy in my country going to huge costly lengths to look a lot like Christopher Reeve’s Superman.
Everyone is focused on body dysmorphia but after reading the article the entire thing sounds like a scam cooked up by the gold industry.

Did it work??
Yes, he’s with the Lord now doing superhuman stuff.
Can he talk to Mitch? We’re trying to hear from him
I heard he had a 20 minutes conversation with him
Woah
The problem with all of these other influencers backing the claim that he’d become “supernatural” before his death will only keep the door open for other followers to copy this lifestyle, just believing this idiot just did something wrong that they can correct. So dangerous.
That’s basically the entire history of magical and/or alchemical elixirs and potions. “Sure the previous emperor died after drinking the lead immortality elixir, but that’s just because he didn’t do it right”
Seems like a self correcting problem, honestly.
“Looksmaxxing” is garden variety body dysmorphic disorder, but it’s quite clearly treated vastly differently because the sufferer is male presenting.
Your comment is akin to saying suicide makes depression a self correcting problem. That’s pretty fucking heartless, don’t you think?
Looksmaxxing involves style and fashion too, not exactly like an eating disorder, its more like I want to look superior because of my insecurities. I’m sure there is some comorbidity.
but it’s quite clearly treated vastly differently because the sufferer is male presenting.
This is so dumb, people are overwhelmingly cruel to women with eating disorders. Whether eating too much or too little. Not to mention, a woman with an eating disorder isn’t eating more/less because she hates men. Incels started looksmaxxing because of red pill manosphere brainrot like ‘you must be 6’13" and square jaw and straight white teeth and muscles in order to have a CHANCE with a 7.5/10, because all women are whores and driven by primordial urges’ . It’s an entirely incorrect interpretation of how human beings interact propogated by chronically online cave trolls.
My comment is no where near saying suicide makes depression a self correcting problem. There are myriad circumstances that can lead someone to suicide. Looksmaxxing is at its core an overreaction to a problem that incels conjured up. Or more accurately misinterpreted, yes male loneliness is a problem but so is female loneliness; it’s an epidemic on both sides.
If you’re too dumb to understand that maybe you shouldn’t pump random shit into your veins in an attempt to look younger or more attractive, so be it. You will become a lesson for anyone paying attention. (Proverbial you)
Treated differently only because the overwhelmingly male population that suffers from it is actively hating people who they deem different and taking a lot of online space doing so. That’s fucking heartless, indeed.
For Nazis, it is.
Everyone else should get healthcare, but for Nazis I’m happy when it runs its course.
Looksmaxxing is just a new name for body dysmorphia. The same shit that makes people puke their guts out after eating, or getting plastic surgery done over and over until they look like freaks.
Have you tried shitmaxxing?
I do it all the time. Currently on the shitter, maxing.
Currently vapemaxxing and shitpostontheshittermaxxing.
Shitmaxxing is the latest fad. Influencers are eating 6 meals a day rather than the regular 3. The rules also include in those meals at least 2 cans of beans, 20 grams of soluble fibre, and a kg of beef.
And that’s just the physical symptoms of social media. The mental damage from using it is much higher.
Some problems solve themselves.
People are so worried about women and body dysmorphia, but we should remember that men need help with dysmorphia too.
I didn’t know who this guy was before he died, but I read an article about things he was doing and saying. He was not okay. It seems like he was suffering from some kind of paranoia as much as dysmorphia.
Fight Club couldn’t have predicted how stupid this would get.
It’s not a competition. But looking at the numbers it’s justified to focus a little more on women for the time being.
Conservatives have spent the last 50 years devaluing education. This is the result.
His artificial hairline looks worse than if he were bald. And wtf is going on with his jaw?
“Looksmaxxing has drawn criticism because some influencers promote dangerous techniques to change their appearance, including striking or damaging their jawbones and other risky practices.”-from the article.
The looksmaxxing guys have a thing they call bonesmashing where they will hit their jaws with hammers or other implements in order to break it a little. This is done so they can reshape it as it heals. This is a repeated process. The jaw is broken and reshaped continually until they look a little more like the cartoonish over exagerated jawline of the chads from those chad memes. No I’m not kidding and no this is not done with any kind of medical supervision.
Looks like botched jaw implants.
Wanted to be Daniel Day Lewis, ended up dead instead.

Its almost as if this looksmaxing and other social media shit is a kind of mental illness that gets worse with time. especially when they find an audience that encourages them to go even further off the deep end.
If no one else did it after him, then he is no influencer.
“a Turkish sugar-free chewing gum that some looksmaxxing influencers use in the belief it can help strengthen the jawline.”
Oh shit I know this gum, it gives you jaw cramps.
