I don’t know why these dudes want to look like they’re choking on a shovel.
Proof they can take the biggest dicks.
Lol what a perfect description
friends
X Doubt
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.
I keep hearing the term looksmaxer and every time it’s a person that looks like they were hit with a snow shovel repeatedly.
its a hammer, actually. Bonesmashing.
bone smashing? I must have the manliest left thumb on earth.
I see you out there thumbmaxxing
There’s some money to be made in that. Try OnlyThumbs.
Thumbs are for hitchhiking and being Fonzie.
Osteoblast-maxxing
Everytime i read about this i think of Hammer Smashed Face by Cannibal Corpse.
Same. Oddly prophetic
🤣🤣🤣 im ded
At least take some gold with you
Ew, you mean that’s real? I thought it was an AI image. I thought there’s no way a real person could be that hideous. But if he literally smashed his own face with a hammer to achieve it, then perhaps a real person could truly be that hideous…
I get the feeling that this is a joke for all but the most stupid people
They look like the YouTube thumbnail for a bad GMod edit
Coincidentally, they all remind me of handsome squidward from spongebob, who became handsome after multiple slams to the face from a metal door.
He looks like a shitty render out of a lousy Half-Life clone.
Guy read too much Sanderson. Was trying to steal hybrid feruchemical powers
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?
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.
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.
It also involves bashing your skull with a vibrating hammer.
For Nazis, it is.
Everyone else should get healthcare, but for Nazis I’m happy when it runs its course.
Bryan Johnson took synthetic peptides, which triggered an autoimmune disease that will kill him. Now he’s claiming to be a random victim of a “rare disease”.
Lance Armstrong inspired the world fighting cancer…which he caused to himself with a massive cocktail of hormones. US Postal hid the fact that he wasn’t the only rider on the team to get testicular cancer.
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.
But also focusing on it for women makes it a “women’s problem” and it makes it harder for men to get help.
Look at sexual assault and rape. It happens to men too. Maybe less frequently but more often than anyone truly knows because it’s under reported.
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.
Some problems solve themselves.
So either he always had some mental health issues, or the lack of nutrition he did to keep the body he had lead himself to make very bad decisions because his brain couldnt process correctly anymore.
I’ve never read anything about the looksmaxxing subculture that made me think it was anything other than people with severe body dysmorphia egging each other on. The least ethical 60s psychological experiment conceived by the most coked up 60s psychologist couldn’t have come up with a more fucked up method of seeing how far people will go.
Eh… I wouldn’t be surprised if they did exactly this in the 60s, just with more LSD involved in the experiment.
i heard of people drilling holes in their skulls for spiritual reasons in roughly that period so this tracks
That’s afaik mostly an urban legend, originated from the “third eye” book by Lobsang Rampa.
Wow.
well, looks maxxing is so last year, now we have ball maxxing
Mine don’t need maxxing, but I do iron my sack to get the wrinkles out.
who the fuck would want bigger balls, that just sounds uncomfortable for everyday life
Great way to move around.
Surely this is satire.
idk, it was covered by some large publications

I think the copious amounts of drugs he was doing probably had a lot to do with it. Oh and the injecting gold part.
he had some before the ayushcha binged, the drug put him over the edge.
“Up until his passing, he was discovering that he had achieved some superhuman abilities, and it’s no joke; he actually did achieve some superhuman abilities,” he said. “He had tapped into a level of consciousness that most people never will.”
Another looksmaxxing influencer, Androgenic, offered additional claims during a livestream, saying Murphy became increasingly focused on gold.
“He started to get this fixation on gold. He started to believe that gold was some gatekept mineral by the higher-ups that basically gives you special powers if you ingest it,” he said. According to Androgenic, Murphy later began injecting gold into his body.
Just so we are all clear, the trans community super duper does not claim him. Wish the political right would focus more on this sort of self abuse instead of the verified science supporting medical transition.
The only thing trans about this now ex-person is how transparently stupid he was (and, very likely, sadly in need of mental health help).
Uhh, why would they target white men? You know what it is.
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
He’s going to be a strong contender for this year’s Darwin Award!
It’s always the second half of the year that the nominations come in and then by October it’s like the where we’re you at the beginning of the year people.
My favorite darwin is the guy who went alcohooool alcohooooool and drank a bottle of rubbing alcohol.
We’re in the “The Beautiful Ones” part of the collapse of our little mouse utopia.
