Do you have a positive canthal tilt? A weak brow ridge? Do you consider yourself an absolute Chad? Or would you say you’re more subhuman? These are terms coined by the trending looksmaxxing community, and it is promoting harmful, extreme ideologies to social media users, with teenagers and young adults being its primary targets.
Looksmaxxing has its roots in online incel culture. “Incel” is a combination of the words “involuntarily celibate.” Members of the looksmaxxing community, which is predominantly male, believe that in order to increase success in the dating field and move away from being “involuntarily celibate,” they must follow extreme beauty standards created by the community to become more desirable.
As if this wasn’t bad enough, looksmaxxing also pulls heavy influences from eugenics, or a pseudoscientific theory based on reproducing desirable traits to “improve” the human race. The community has derogatory terms for people of different backgrounds, specifically for Jewish people, Asian people and black communities/people.
