As someone who’s been in the manosphere for over three years, I can say with complete certainty that the blackpill has hit the event horizon of the normie black hole.
It’s funny in retrospect how every few months over the course of multiple years you’d see a post about how “looksmaxxing is officially mainstream” and the “flanderization of our niche is imminent”, but ever since Braden (Clav/ylrven/osamawhal) got kicked out of University in the summer of 2024, the destruction has become legitimate.
For some context, Braden was attending College back around the summer of 2024 while taking lots of gear. As the summer went on, Braden would begin to post less and less, keep in mind he had around ~20k followers at the time. One day he announced that he would no longer be going to school as he was kicked out do to the University discovering his steroid use. As a result, he began to post more and more content, allowing him to enter Cookie King’s circle and growing exponentially thereafter.
This all ties into November of 2025, when Clav’s streaming career started to take off, introducing him to a new normie audience of around 13-16. This influx brought in a swath of uneducated iqlets.
The real breaking point, however, came when the ASU frat leader clip went giga-viral all across the internet. What this led to, was akin to a mass migration of millennials, gen alpha, and others to this “looksmaxxing” thing that they heard about through a *Kirawontmiss* quote tweet featuring Braden.
brutal that the community starlet is responsible for the death of this niche
