Early Life and Education

An honor roll from the school lists a Braden Peters from Hoboken as receiving second honors. He has stated that his parents were former bodybuilders.
Career Beginnings and Looksmaxxing Philosophy
Peters, who has said he is autistic, began his online activities in his mid-teens, frequenting “blackpill” and “looksmaxxing” websites such as looksmax.org. He claims to have started taking steroids at the age of 14. His online persona, “Clavicular,” is a reference to the clavicle bone, which he considers an important part of one’s physique.
The core of Peters’ content revolves around “looksmaxxing,” a subculture focused on maximizing one’s physical attractiveness through methods ranging from basic grooming to more extreme measures. His philosophy often involves a belief that physical appearance is the most important metric in life. He has discussed experiencing his formative years observing that very tall and good-looking men constituted a small percentage of those who were successful in social and romantic settings. This informed his decision to pursue any means necessary to alter his own appearance.
Rise to Online Prominence
Peters gained significant traction online in early 2025, becoming a prominent figure in the looksmaxxing community on platforms like TikTok and the streaming service Kick. His content often includes critiques of people’s facial features, discussions of plastic surgery, and promotion of various “hardmaxxing” techniques, which include the use of steroids and other substances.
A significant event in his rise was his expulsion from an Ivy League university. Peters stated that campus security searched his dorm room after the university was made aware of his online posts and found steroids, leading to his dismissal. He also sells a coaching course on the Skool platform called “Clavicular’s Clan,” which has been criticized by some viewers.
Controversies
Braden Eric Peters’ online career has been marked by numerous controversies. He has openly discussed his use of substances, including testosterone from a young age and methamphetamine to suppress his appetite for a leaner facial appearance.
In one widely condemned incident, Peters streamed himself injecting his 17-year-old girlfriend with cosmetic peptides. The event drew severe backlash and accusations of exploiting a minor and promoting dangerous, medically questionable practices.
Peters has also been involved in a “swatting” incident, where police were called to his location during a livestream in Miami, leading to his brief detainment. He has also faced criticism for his associations with other controversial figures in the online “manosphere.” His YouTube channel has been terminated in the past for its content. Additionally, a restraining order was reportedly issued against him after a woman filed for a Harassment Prevention Order.
