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.
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”.
