"Lookism — discriminatory treatment of unattractive people — is real, and its effects on men and women are well-documented. But to radical incels, it represents something deeply sinister"
"Penis stretching, wrist enlargement, eyebrow botox, “neck training,” nostril shrinking, steroid use and 3D-printed skull implants are among a long list of desired procedures and “coping strategies” discussed at length on male “looksmax” websites."
"“Rate my face.” “Dropped 7K on a nose job.” “Worthy of blond girl?” “No Tinder matches in first 24 hours - is it over?” Thousands of men and teenage boys who are unhappy with how they look are joining anonymous “looksmax” forums."
"Thousands of "involuntarily celibate" men in online forums are consumed by misogynist entitlement and a skin-deep quest for self-improvement."
"More than ever, the pressure to look perfect is taking a toll on both and women and men, sometimes resulting in body dysmorphia and shame. But it has sparked a distinctly masculine response from the radical incels who frequent these online looksmax communities: violent rage."
