[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 39 points 13 hours ago (2 children) Was going to say. The broken jaw look is kind of grotesque. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 12 points 9 hours ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 12 hours ago This is as stupid looking to me as the swollen bee-sting lips the ladies are getting. Man, that looks so effed up to me. permalink fedilink source parent
