      the -maxxing thing is irritating to me because it's literally just incel slang. we need to stop letting these people have an impact on culture, "chad" was bad enough

        It's an incel term so ridiculous it's spilled over into Normie internet.

        Originally, "looksmaxxing" is how they described... Taking care of your physical appearance. Like they needed to coin a term to describe not looking like a slob.

        Statusmaxxing, similarly, describes not having a reputation as a standoffish, bitter incel but an approachable, social person.
