The Guardian: ‘Mogging’ is suddenly everywhere. Is that a problem?. “This word for outdoing or outshining others originated in the manosphere, but is now thoroughly mainstream. Why is it so popular – and should we be worried about slang that arises from toxic subcultures?”

"‘Mogging’ is suddenly everywhere. Is that a problem?

This word for outdoing or outshining others originated in the manosphere, but is now thoroughly mainstream. Why is it so popular – and should we be worried about slang that arises from toxic subcultures?

(. . .)

Tony Thorne, director of the slang and new language archive at King’s College London, says a lot of new slang terms 'have come recently from the same kind of male-based internet culture', referencing the words 'simp' (someone who is excessively attentive), 'soy boy' (a derogatory term for a man who is not stereotypically masculine) and 'sigma' (someone cool and successful). Not to mention 'maxxing,' now such an established part of the lexicon that it was tweeted by the US Department of Defense earlier this year.

Thorne thinks it is significant that 'mogging' in particular has become fashionable at this time. 'What it implies – hyper-competitive, hyper-individualist, aggressive selfishness' has become 'mainstream behaviour', he says.

Which is why Will Adolphy, a psychotherapist who was himself once an ardent follower of manosphere influencers, has concerns about the word.
'Part of me can see how it’s a kind of handy, even entertaining word,' he says. But the idea of mogging 'reinforces this sense that there are certain people that will dominate others based off their physical appearance and status', he says.

By filtering this image I have increased by sexual market value and have been officially what is now called "Mogging". “Mogging” or being “mogged,” - the slang term, which means to outdo or outshine others.

Tubefilter: Streamers are mogging each other, so Twitch changed its rules to accommodate them. “Like Omegle, Omoggle puts two individuals in a side-by-side video chat. Instead of talking to each other, however, Omoggle users compare their looks. The app scans both participants’ faces to determine which one is closer to the idealized beauty standard that creators like Clavicular aspire to.”
