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.

    The best part about getting old with a beer belly is being in a loving relationship with someone who can see past that and not caring at all. The last time I smashed my face with a hammer was never.

    Sucks to be young people these days, though.

      People like this (the guy in the topic, not you, Escape) are the kind of people to unironically say that liking women is gay.

      So its 100% for the boys to think he’s a pretty pretty princess.

    I’m kind of interested to see, five years from now, his “redemption arc“ videos where he realizes everything he did was stupid and wrong and he’s gained 100 pounds and is trying to tell everyone he realizes how wrong he was.

    That should be amusing

        Not if they get clean they don’t. Really either he’s acclimated to amphetamines and getting clean will make staying thin very difficult or he isn’t and staying on meth will likely push him past skinny and into visibly unhealthy looking.

        And it’s difficult to stay a high profile meth addict.

    Weren’t there memes on lemmy just last week making fun of beautiful women who get cosmetic surgery? Dude seemed fairly attractive already but still felt the need for surgery. Unless it was a “if this video gets 10k likes I’ll get surgery” situation.

      He did say that no body is a perfect 10/10 and that looksmaxxing will have to be a life long struggle.

      So hes already in the right mindset to do that.

        That sentence is so close to healthy before veering into wildly unhealthy. No body is a perfect 10/10, and taking care of your body is a lifelong struggle. But vitally the reason no body is perfect is because variety and tastes are key here.

        No pie is perfect either, you can make a damn good pie, but there’s always going to be someone who doesn’t like your filling or your crust type or the flavor profile you built or pies. Someone is going to prefer store bought, or the mediocre pie that their loved one makes. And if you can’t accept that you’re liable to drive yourself crazy and ruin your recipe in a mad pursuit of perfection.

        So yeah, get your body healthy and learn to love it regardless of appearance and even fitness.

          Well the second part of his thought is that you’re not allowed to be happy until you’re perfect.

          So you figured out the rest of his destructive philosophy

      Not gonna lie, after I had my wisdom teeth removed, I was goofy balls for the next four hours. They put me in a recovery room.

      Not hating on the guy for that. When you have your wisdom teeth removed, they put you under, and recovery is a bitch

          This thread make it sound like wisdom tooth removal is some huge surgery. I just had some local anesthesia as the tooth was pulled. Fun cracking sounds in my head, some bleeding from where the tooth was that stopped after an hour or two. But it was pretty quick and I could just go about my day afterwards.

          I guess different places and different people?

            Tooth?

            I had all 4 extracted when I was 16, long before they came in. And, yes, it WAS surgery performed by an endodontist. I was sedated for the procedure, and it took several hours for me to recover from the sedation.

            There are many different ways that people deal with their wisdom teeth. This is how I dealt with mine— or, more correctly, how my parents decided to deal with them.

        You know how some of the genes associated with red hair are also associated with resistance to pain killers? Would it be appropriate to tease someone because they carried those genes? Or, would it be hate speech?

        This is like the opposite: he could have an innate sensitivity to the medication and what’s why he went “goofy balls” to require a wheelchair.

        I got “lucky” with my wisdom teeth; I was conscious during the whole removal procedure and was even able to drive myself home. But, I didn’t have any choice in how deep / what orientation my wisdom teeth ended up in while my bones were fusing as a small child. It could have been a much more difficult procedure and made me “goofy balls” through no choice / with no control of my own.

          So… just because you chose less deleterious painkillers for your wisdom teeth extraction doesn’t impact your morality. You are still the same shitbag (or not) before and after. And so is he. That is not the argument that I was making.

          I was simply commenting upon the fact that, after such heavy sedation, we all look pretty goofy, regardless of who or what we are

            I was agreeing with and “yes, and”-ing your post.

            The image is denigrating him based on something entirely outside his choices and control; that’s unfair because “after such heavy sedation, we all look pretty goofy”.

      Legally, hospitals wont let you leave without being wheeled out in a wheelchair under general anesthesia. Doesn’t matter if you feel ok to walk, it’s a liability thing with them

        Not to defend the guy but when I got my wisdom teeth removed they wouldn’t let me walk. They said it was a liability thing that any time they discharged a patient who received any amount of anesthetic in the prior 24 hours they had to wheel the patient out in a wheelchair. So I had to sit in the chair until they got me out the hospital doors but after that they didn’t give a fuck what I did.

          My experience exactly, I had hand surgery late afternoon and spent the night at hospital because I only woke up from sedation at around midnight, but since it hadn’t been 24 hours between the anaesthetic and the early morning discharge, wheelchair it was.
