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.

      Is this a sentence that I might need to understand IRL, or is it just social media stuff?

      (I don’t know if this question will be offensive, so apologies in advance if so.)

        I meant that is like being trans for cis men - masculinising their bodies by taking HRT, and getting surgeries and stuff, except it’s to the gender they were already assigned at birth, so like male to male (mtm) transmasculine people, lol

        Just a random thought though, not that important

          Ahh I see. It’s like gender reaffirming surgery for a male to become… still male, but “more so”.

          Thanks for clearing that up. Sometimes I feel like a boomer trying to keep up, lol
