incel/manosphere-speak. one of the characteristics of a cult is "loading the language," aka a lot of "insider" terms that are likely to be impenetrable to outsiders & serve as shorthand, sometimes thought-terminating cliches

yung whosit's message cuts off but I read it as almost a sympathetic critique of the situation here: young guys like this, OP's presuming autistic (common), get caught up in the manosphere & buy into "looksmaxxing"--bodybuilding, look "hot" according to manosphere standards, as a cheat code...

basically, musclehead got buffed & ripped bc other manosphere/incel types told him it's how you get the hot babes. He bought into that bc he can't figure out how to just social skill his way--the autism, posits yung whosit; and now this isn't working either. Sad! and yet.
