From what I've heard, among parents this is being seen more as a crisis, while when it was happening to girls it was a problem to talk to your daughters about, but ultimately more of a boring one.
And tbh as an annoying feminist, I do think that this is a serious problem that it's spread to boys. It's done a lot of damage to girls, and it's doing a lot of damage to boys. It's also going to be harder to resolve as it becomes more entrenched.
It's easy to make fun of looksmaxxing because it manifests similar to stupid young male hijinks. When I was a teenager if boys were hitting themselves in the face with hammers it would've been as displays of toughness rather than backyard cosmetic surgery. It's a lot less funny when you see a boy you know struggling with body dysmorphia.
