Braden Peters, higher known by his “looskmaxxing” persona Clavicular, walked off his interview with “60 Minutes Australia” correspondent Adam Hegarty after he was asked if he identifies with the incel community.
“Do I discover as an incel?” Peters said. “I mean, how could you ask me that query as a follow-up after you asked me about my relationships to women. I mean, that’s quite literally the worst sequence of questions I believe I’ve ever heard.”
Hegarty pressed on, “Let me rephrase then. Looksmaxxing was obviously a term created by the incel community. How do you are feeling about being linked to that group?”
“I’m not linked to that group in any way,” Peters replied. “Looksmaxxing is self improvement, right? So it’s about potentially even ascending out of that category. So that will be type of considered one of the goals is to disassociate from being an incel and overcome that. In order that doesn’t make sense.”
Hegarty then shifted gears to Peters’ relationship with the highly controversial “manosphere” influencer Andrew Tate, who’s currently facing charges of rape, assault and human trafficking within the U.K. He asked Peters, “Why do you spend time with people like that?”
“I see you desire to make this political,” Peters answered. “Too bad I didn’t have time to look into, you already know, anything about potentially, you already know, who your wife cheated with, but don’t attempt to go down that line of questioning with me.”
Hegarty then said, “I’m not married.” Peters then concluded before walking off, “So I could teach you about looksmaxxing, after which perhaps you possibly can switch that up. Thanks for the time, appreciate the interview.”
