Was going to say. The broken jaw look is kind of grotesque.

    I thought that was kind of the point of the "gigachad" meme? Like, its not what the facial features of conventionally attractive men actually look like, but an extreme exaggeration of what they're stereotyped as looking like, which looks ridiculous but is also supposed to carry a message like "this person that just did something "bad" is actually awesome for it". Sort of like how the "handsome squidward" meme from spongebob doesn't actually look particularly handsome, but it's obvious that it's telling you that he's supposed to be.

    If it didn't look implausible and stupid, it'd be too easy for someone to read the statement as literally suggesting attractiveness instead of as a way of implying agreement with the person being caricatured by referencing older memes.
