        I thought that was kind of the point of the “gigachad” meme? Like, its not what the facial features of conventionally attractive men actually look like, but an extreme exaggeration of what they’re stereotyped as looking like, which looks ridiculous but is also supposed to carry a message like “this person that just did something “bad” is actually awesome for it”. Sort of like how the “handsome squidward” meme from spongebob doesn’t actually look particularly handsome, but it’s obvious that it’s telling you that he’s supposed to be.

        If it didn’t look implausible and stupid, it’d be too easy for someone to read the statement as literally suggesting attractiveness instead of as a way of implying agreement with the person being caricatured by referencing older memes.

        This is as stupid looking to me as the swollen bee-sting lips the ladies are getting. Man, that looks so effed up to me.

      The manosphere is a sad negative loop where they tell lonely men that women hate them and the influencers actively teach men to be worse and women rightfully dislike them for that.
