clavicular announces a live botox and 'mog battles' summit while the entire internet is arguing about him
fresh off a nose job, a nightclub lawsuit, a gator charge, and an international news cycle, he is now hosting a looksmaxing convention. the lore grows.
two weeks after livestreaming his own rhinoplasty on kick, clavicular announced a 'looksmaxing summit' featuring live botox, fillers, and something called 'mog battles,' per coverage from imdb on june 17th. the announcement landed in the middle of an already extremely active news cycle for him, which has had something for everybody depending on which part of the internet you occupy.
the summit reveal hit differently for chat given the context. a chunk of the discourse, per multiple threads, is just people pointing out the timing: he cried about chat criticizing his new nose less than a week ago and now he is organizing a public event where people compete at being more attractive. the response to that irony has mostly been some variation of 'ok actually respect' and some variation of 'this man is built different in a way that concerns me.'
on the nightclub end of things, the story picked up new oxygen this week. complex ran his direct words, with clavicular saying per that piece that he 'was pressured into unideal agreements,' which is a phrasing that is doing a lot of work. the times of india published a full breakdown of the dispute on june 18th, which means this has now formally escaped the streamer-internet ecosystem. reaction to the international coverage has been a mix of genuine bewilderment and people explaining the entire bacara situation to confused comment sections abroad.
the orlando sentinel got there first, honestly. a may 29th opinion piece framed him as 'a disturbing new breed of florida-man,' specifically combining the looksmaxxing angle with the everglades gator shooting. the piece apparently got significant pickup and the reaction to it has split pretty cleanly between people who thought it was a fair read and people who thought the writer fundamentally misunderstood what they were looking at. both camps are probably right.
the south china morning post also covered the alligator probation ruling, which means clavicular has now been written about seriously by outlets on at least four continents in the span of a month. whether the looksmaxing summit becomes a fifth continent situation is genuinely unclear.
anyway. the mog battles have been scheduled, the lawyers have been deployed, and the times of india has filed its copy.
