Banner & Backbone: Are The Kids Alright?

Nick Paro hosts a special episode with Cat and her teenaged son and his partner — they teach us about LooksMaxing and the black-pill pipeline.

Show Notes

Today is a special episode asking “are the kids alright?” and we get a look into the life of 2 everyday American teens, what their experiences are with the “alt-right” pipelines.

hosts and learns from , Kyan, and Scar the concept of LooksMaxing, or LooksMaxxing.

LooksMaxing is a pipeline based in white supremacy and eugenics — it revolves around the idea that you’re value is based on looks with a measurable “ideal” using cherry-picked references to the bible, leaning into incel and hyper-online culture, and pitting (mostly men) against each other in a permanent competition.

On the male side, LooksMaxing uses a ranking system going from 0 - 8.0 with named categories:

  1. True Adam - the highest level of male perfection which cannot really be achieved — the ideal form of “god-like” perfection.

  2. Chad - the achievable ideal for a male

  3. ChadLite - the almost-Chad, still far above average

  4. High-Tier Normie (HTN) - highest average looking dude

  5. Middle-Tier / Mid-Tier Normie (MTN) - above-average looking dude

  6. Low-Tier Normie (LTN) - average looking dude

  7. Sub-5 - this is where you are an ugly dude

  8. Sub-3 - this is where you are a really ugly dude

This subculture has grown out of early chat forums — 4chan and 8chan — and has moved and evolved onto platforms like Discord and Telegram. The propaganda and indoctrination has been further mainstreamed on apps like TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter/X.

On the female side it is about looks, fertility, and behavior — it is about seeing women as lesser than males, encourages abuse & rape, and has an ideal female who is small, childlike, petite, and hairless-all-over. It is a system focused on normalizing pedophilia.

Both the male and female side are about control and power — they are things the

team recommends parents ask their children about, specifically:

  • Ask your children about how they view and feel their looks.

  • Discord - we recommend parents closely monitor the servers and messages being sent within. Discord is often referred to as “the children’s version of Telegram” and is an entry-point into many of the more extreme areas of the pipelines — child porn, gore (mutilation), online trafficking.

  • Telegram - we recommend not allowing your children to use telegram for any reason.

The most important recommendation we can offer — be a part of your children’s lives by instilling in them that they have value just by existing and then show them it by modeling good behaviors.
