context because this is kinda a terminally online meme:

A popular online “looksmaxxer” got a bunch of cosmetic surgery and people are making fun of how it isn’t worth it for male insecurities

This guy is an asshole and the hate is deserved. He shot an alligator on stream for views (which is illegal btw) and overdosed on stream and a bunch of other bad shit. Along with promoting insecurities/dangerous chemicals/steroids/treating women like objects/penis pumps/etc to children.

For those that don’t know looksmaxxing is a movement that expanded from incel culture and involves taking TRT (steroids) underage, smashing your face bones with a hammer, diy surgeries, etc. It is expanding massively online and creates a LOT of new words that Gen z use half ironically half unironically.

TLDR: Dumbass alpha male got a bunch of useless cosmetic surgeries and is ruining his life for views. People are making fun of him for it.

    I got the talk formatted as a series of age appropriate conversations across growing up and it was very good for me. A little kid should know the names of genitals, what a bad touch is, and that they can say no to being touched. A kid should know what puberty is and what they can expect from it before it happens as well as that babies come from pregnancy. A pubescent kid should know enough not to make stupid choices before their body pushes them to make those choices. And at every age, you should answer any questions they have in an age appropriate manner.

    Yeah it’s awkward and uncomfortable, but this is a part of life and if you don’t talk to the kid about this stuff their peers or the internet will, and you really want the person explaining these sensitive topics to your child to be a mature adult with their best interests in mind. It’s much better to get an “ew I’m not feeling that way” than “don’t worry, [influncer] has already told me all about this”
