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.
My wife’s approach is to have the talk early and repeatedly - but with an age appropriate level of detail. Our 8 year old knows that kids come from mama’s belly. He knows what bodies look like (sneaky guy always peeking on us). He also knows that romantic love is a different kind of thing. Unintentionally he also knows the word sexy, which I blame on pop music. I don’t think he knows what it means, at least.
Funny though; once he advised us, unprompted, that “boys have a penis, and girls have hair.” We’re trying to raise him without prudishness or body issues, and with enough knowledge to avoid the mistakes he already seems so likely to make. I’ve never known anyone so impulsive in my life.
Hm, are y’all kids not asking questions? Like, my five year old basically knows everything, 'cause she asks and we answer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
It’s like “how does the baby get into mama’s belly, though?” and here we go. But what’s wrong about that anyway?
My kid seems to prefer being the one who talks. So he knows less facts and I get to know… More about Minecraft than anyone else who doesn’t play Minecraft. Trade-offer.meme
