Manosphere Clown Storms Out of Interview Over Incel Question

Braden Peters, a 20-year-old “looksmaxxing” influencer known as Clavicular, abruptly ended the televised interview.

A controversial manosphere influencer walked out of a televised interview after being questioned about links to the incel movement. Braden Peters, a 20-year-old “looksmaxxing” influencer known as Clavicular, appeared on 60 Minutes Australia but quickly grew defensive when correspondent Adam Hegarty asked whether he identified as an incel. “I mean, how could you ask me that question,” Peters replied, calling it “the worst sequence of questions” he had heard. When asked about overlap between the manosphere and incel communities, Peters rejected any connection, insisting “looksmaxxing” is simply about “self-improvement.” “I’m not linked to that group in any way,” he said. “Looksmaxxing is self-improvement, right? So it’s about potentially even ascending out of that category. So that would be kind of one of the goals — to dissociate from being an incel and overcome that. So that doesn’t make sense,” he said. The interview escalated when Hegarty raised Peters’ reported ties to figures like Andrew Tate. Peters responded with a personal jab at the journalist before ending the exchange. “…Thanks for the time, appreciate the interview,” he said, removing his microphone and walking off set.
