Testosterona, maxxings e o ideal de virilidade nas redes

Abstract

Nas comunidades digitais, a "otimização" do corpo masculino tornou-se um eixo central de socialização. Sob a aparência de autoaperfeiçoamento (treino, dieta e cuidados estéticos), circulam imperativos de atratividade que orientam decisões sobre o corpo, incluindo afirmações pseudocientíficas sobre testosterona, práticas aparentemente inofensivas e outras com riscos reais à saúde. Esta nota técnica investiga os discursos sobre os maxxings e a "otimização" corporal masculina em grupos do Telegram das esferas da machosfera, conspiração, política e neonazismo (2023–2026). Combinando análise crítica do discurso e indicadores de volumetria e incidência, identifica-se a testosterona como significante mestre de um ideal de virilidade em torno do qual se organizam práticas que vão do "sol nas bolas" ao looksmaxxing facial, passando por técnicas de risco como o bonesmashing. Esse ideal sustenta uma economia de monetização (de funis de teleconsulta à venda emergente de suplementos) e articula-se, em certos nós, a imaginários etnonacionalistas e de extrema-direita.
