Who is Clavicular and why is he in the news?
This podcast is sponsored by the team at Spec Savers. Just a heads up, today's episode discusses distressing themes including sexual assault. Discretion is advised.
Freddy. And good morning. This is the daily Oz. This is the Daily Oz. This is the Daily Oz. Oh. Now it makes sense.
Good morning and welcome to The Daily Oz. It's Thursday, the 24th of September. I'm Lucy Tassel. I'm Emma Gillespie. Braden Peters, better known as Clavicular, the looks maxing influencer, and if you don't know what any of those words mean, don't worry, we will explain, has been charged with rape in the US state of Massachusetts. The case is related to another similar legal filing from earlier this year in. different part of the country, which similarly alleges he injected an underage girl with an unregulated substance without consent. In today's episode we'll explain the world of LuxMaxing and what to know about the cases against clavicula.
Lucy, to kick things off, for those who don't know and have been too embarrassed to ask, who is clavicular?
So Clavicular is a young man, he's 20. His real name is Braden Peters, and he has really shot to fame end of uh last year, beginning of this year, as part of the world of looks maxing. And he live streams on a platform called Kick, which the two of us have discussed on this pod before. It's part owned by an Australian crypto gambling billionaire. And it's craven. Craven. Yeah. And it's known to be less regulated or regulated in a different way than the more mainstream platforms like Twitch. Yeah.
Okay, so I think the important follow-up there is what is looks maxing?
I tried several different ways to explain this, but I actually think it's best if we get a top level summary from Clavicular himself.
Looks maxing is the most well-rounded form of self-improvement, just almost taking it to its logical conclusion. Um so that's gonna include just traditional bodybuilding and fitness style stuff, as well as uh a new focus on sort of facial aesthetics. Uh and that's been missing from uh a lot of like the male red pill stuff and male self-improvement was emphasis on the face.
Looks maxing, in essence, is this idea of maximizing your aesthetic appearance, not just your body, but also your face. What is the red pill thing all about, though?
What is looks‑maxxing and how does it differ from regular fitness?
I mean, how much time do you have? Like this is like a ha uh a different like other podcast series we could do. And I found it really, really hard to explain it succinctly because I feel like the boom of the red pill was when I was sort of in my adolescence and so I've just like known about it as long as I can remember. It's like an emblem of
incel culture,
right? Yes, and other stuff. But basically for those who don't know, the concept of the red pill comes from the movie The Matrix.
You take the blue pill. The story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want. You take the red pill. You stay in Wonderland. And I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
So that idea has over many years evolved. Are you familiar with the concept of the primordial soup? No, but I'm familiar with my cat's primordial pouch. It basically I think I'm gonna butcher this explanation, but it basically is like a pre-civilization, almost pre-animal kind of like what was on the surface of the earth billions of years ago. And it's just like there's all these little organisms and there's all these gases and they're all just mingling together. And then out of the primordial soup or the primordial ooze, eventually life comes out of the water and goes on to land. Okay. Got that. So the like the early red pill online communities, that's like the primordial soup. And Clavicula has evolved out of that to walk on live stream.
Okay. So it's things like so when you say it's incel culture, it's like, yes, and pick-up artists and guys called men going their own way. Yeah. And like the early, like the Trump base of like young white guys and like the ma what we call the manosphere. Yeah,
I was gonna say so what we now know today as the manosphere.
Yeah. And it's like all evolved from this same kind of central kind of soup.
