What is mogger?

Mogger is a term originating within online incel and far-right communities. It refers to an individual, typically male, perceived as possessing superior physical traits, particularly facial features, that are considered inherently attractive and intimidating, thus granting them an advantage in social hierarchies and romantic relationships.

The term is rooted in the idea of "looksmaxing," the practice of attempting to improve one's physical appearance, often with the goal of attracting potential partners. "Mogging" describes the act of someone with these superior features outshining or "demolishing" others based solely on their looks.

Here are some key concepts related to the term:

• Looksmaxing: The act of improving one's physical appearance to become more attractive.

• Incel: A person who identifies as involuntarily celibate, often harboring resentment towards those they perceive as having easier access to romantic relationships.

• Social Hierarchy: The arrangement of individuals or groups in a society into a graded series of ordered status ranks.

• Physical Attractiveness: The degree to which a person's physical features are considered aesthetically pleasing or beautiful.

The use of "mogger" is often associated with toxic and misogynistic viewpoints, reinforcing harmful stereotypes about attractiveness and social value.
