How PSL evolved: from Turbo Autists to Tiktok Normies

[4ever]

2018/19 you had to be a huge autist to find lookism / looksmax.

2020/2021 the first semi normie wave arrived during COVID. Disenfranchised young men, who wanted to change during isolation.

2023 and onwards it's all Tiktok normies, so just your general Gen Z and Gen Alpha population.

Nowadays, basically yes. Or at the very least about looksmaxing.

Back in 2020 people would hide their association with the forum out of fear of repercussions or shame.
Now we got looksmaxing influencers JFL.

most people were normies even back then, but there were way more autists than now

A lot of the Autists in 2020 weren't irredeemable either. Many of them live quite ordinary lives now and have moved on.

Ogs like @AstroSky and Brett Maverick were the reason looksmaxing peaked during 2020-2023

Forgot about Astro. He got me in originally with his microneedling, skincare and then mewing videos.
