I didn’t even plan to make this video. I’d had a rough week, my brain was foggy, and I was basically doom-scrolling trying to kick the creative juices back into gear. Then I saw that 60 Minutes Australia clip with the looksmaxxing influencer “Clavicular” (real name Braden), and it snapped me out of it—because for ages I genuinely thought the bloke was a Borat-style parody. He’s so cartoonishly over the top that I assumed it had to be a piss-take… until I watched him melt down in a real interview, and then I felt equal parts horrified and weirdly sad. I break down that car-crash walk-out, why “looksmaxxing” is basically incel culture with a shinier label, and how these communities breed glass-thin egos that can’t survive even mild, fair questions. When the interviewer asked about incels and then Andrew Tate, Braden immediately went to the classic evasive tantrum: aggression, victimhood, and the bizarre “cuck” insult—then tried to exit while pretending he’d “taken the high ground.” The real takeaway: obsessing over facial geometry instead of character is a psychological catastrophe for young men. I’m a tubby 47-year-old dork, and I’ve still had relationships with people these lads would call “out of my league,” because trust, kindness, and treating women like actual people is what’s attractive. You can’t mew your way into integrity.
