That hasn't been in my bubble. Comic aside, I see it as another chapter in the huge issue that is how young men are growing up without identity or direction. Malicious cons and grifters that make up "the manospehere" are filling in the gap, and we're seeing the consequences.
Conversely, I've also grown up understanding the great lengths and pressure women have to perform their own "looksmaxxing" since forever. That's also kind of an identity crisis that applies to the whole world.
I don't think it's either one or the other, though. Generally, people want to be attractive and attractive people usually get better treatment from others.
Just another thing that sucks, IMO. Another human problem that needs solving.
