==== Clavicular and rating system? ====
==== Clavicular and the P.S.L. Scale ====
[[Clavicular (influencer)|Clavicular]]'s system of rating looksmaxxing that he promotes in interviews and on social media is the PSL scale, which gives men a numerical rating then sorts men into three tiers: subhuman, normie (subdivided into low-tier normie, mid-tier normie, and high-tier normie), and Chad (subdivided into Chadlite, Chad, and giga Chad). In her ''[[The New Yorker|New Yorker]]'' criticism, journalist [[Becca Rothfeld]] explains, "The moral objections to looksmaxxing are numerous, severe, and obvious. A system that designates any person as 'subhuman' is beneath contempt, and that's to say nothing of the racial slurs to which looksmaxxing stalwarts help themselves regularly." She also cites a recent interview in which Clavicular "approvingly notes that [[Brad Pitt]] 'mogs' [[Mother Teresa]]."
