How do you feel about being linked to that group?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t\u201cI\u2019m not linked to that group in any way,\u201d he countered. \u201cLooksmaxxing is self-improvement, right? So it\u2019s about potentially even ascending out of that category. So that would be kind of one of the goals \u2014 to dissociate from being an incel and overcome that. So that doesn\u2019t make sense.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tThen Hegarty pointed out that he\u2019s hung out with Andrew Tate and asked, \u201cWhy do you spend time with people like that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tClavicular somewhat bizarrely attempted to suggest the interviewer was a cuckold. \u201cI see you want to make this political,\u201d he said. \u201cToo bad I didn\u2019t have time to look into, you know, anything about potentially, you know, who your wife cheated with, but don\u2019t try to go down that line of questioning with me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tHegarty replied, \u201cI\u2019m not married.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tContinued Clavicular, \u201c\u2026 so I could teach you about looksmaxxing, and then maybe you could switch that up. Thanks for the time, appreciate the interview.\u201d Then he got up, took off his microphone and walked off the set.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tOf course, instead of getting defensive and walking out, Clavicular could have simply replied, \u201cNo, I\u2019m not an incel,\u201d and, \u201cI hang out with lots of different people, it doesn\u2019t mean I agree with their views,\u201d but that would have been far less awkward.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tWatch their interaction, below:<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Clavicular walks out of 60 Minutes interview after being asked if he is an incel and about his relationship with Andrew Tate.<\/p>\n<p>Clavicular: \u201cDo I identify as an Incel?
