Clavicular and looksmaxxing reach their sad, inevitable conclusion

Internet swamp fever dream Clavicular has been charged with rape. Braden Peters, the 20-year-old influencer known online as Clavicular, faces charges of rape, drugging someone for sexual intercourse, and providing alcohol to a person under 21 in Massachusetts, stemming from an alleged May 2025 incident involving a 17-year-old girl. A related civil lawsuit accuses him of injecting the same teenage influencer’s face with a fat-dissolving substance during a livestream without her consent and alleges that he later provided her alcohol and sexually assaulted her. Peters has denied the allegations. His arraignment is scheduled for October 14.His response to being charged has been about as nuanced and empathy-inducing as Elon Musk operating a chainsaw onstage at a Ku Klux Klan rally while high on coke and ketamine. Peters posted screenshots and videos to social media, accused his accuser of greed, and wrote, “Happens to all successful young men, people try to come for your money.” With that logic, I guess all young women can expect to be drugged and raped by supplement-mainlining influencer man babies who beat their faces with hammers. And we wonder why women are turned off from dating? In another post, he suggested there are better ways to make money than suing someone who doesn't want you. Classy.The unbearably grim reality of Clavicular’s fame is finally delivering on its promise. Who knew that when a culture makes fake masculinity the ultimate prize, puts young men on steroids and testosterone, encourages them to hit themselves in the face with hammers to improve their jawlines, and turns men like the Tate brothers, who face charges of rape and human trafficking, into masculine role models, it would eventually produce young men facing rape charges of their own?Clavicular became famous as one of the most recognizable faces of “looksmaxxing,” the online subculture devoted to treating the human body like a defective consumer product in need of constant upgradi
