This is called, "looksmaxxing," it's something the incel community picked up from a discredited orthodontist. The guys on the QAA podcast covered it on one of their premium episodes.
Bonemaxxing
Now I'm interested in a mobid sociologist way. Is this related to mewing?
I don't know, what's mewing?
It's this trend from a rogue orthodontists about tongue position and pressure on the teeth that is supposed to chisel the jawline and is complete bonkers. But has sprout a cult following of kids mewing, specially with the incel.
Yes, I think this is a sub-category of looksmaxxing.
