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.

    He figured out that looks are insanely important in society (which is true) and tries to get maximum out of his potential in looks. I mean, he might actually fuck everything up as “experimenting” goes (i mean, using methamphetamine combined with steroids while also lightly hitting your face with a hammer is not usually called “experimenting”, it’s closer to “being a junkie”). He is a bad influence due to his “methods” for sure but figuring out that human society has ridicuolosly deep roots in lookism is not something that indicates “horrors that a child experienced”. You just have to pay a little bit of attention to surroundings during e.g. school, especially during high school and you can easily figure out that absolute most of social success comes from good looks (which comes from particular bone structure of your skull).
