I’ve never read anything about the looksmaxxing subculture that made me think it was anything other than people with severe body dysmorphia egging each other on. The least ethical 60s psychological experiment conceived by the most coked up 60s psychologist couldn’t have come up with a more fucked up method of seeing how far people will go.

    Eh... I wouldn't be surprised if they did exactly this in the 60s, just with more LSD involved in the experiment.
