U.S.-based Kick streamer Clavicular is facing intense public criticism after footage surfaced showing him injecting cosmetic peptides into the cheeks of his 17-year-old girlfriend during a livestream. The video, which quickly spread across social media, has sparked serious concerns regarding unlicensed medical procedures, child safety, and platform moderation.

The broadcast reportedly captured Clavicular—also known as KingClavicular—administering fat-dissolving compounds intended to contour the jawline. Primetimer identified the substances as unapproved peptides, raising alarms among medical professionals who stress that such procedures require proper training and regulation to avoid potentially severe health complications.

Online reaction was swift, with viewers questioning both the legality of administering injections to a minor and the broader ethical implications of performing such procedures publicly. Commenters expressed concern that the incident could constitute the unlicensed practice of medicine, while others highlighted the vulnerability of the underage participant.

The controversy has renewed scrutiny of Kick’s moderation practices. As reported by IBTimes UK, Kick’s 2024 transparency data showed that only 3.42% of user reports resulted in enforcement actions, fueling criticism that the platform’s lax oversight may enable harmful or exploitative behavior. The outlet also referenced previous safety concerns on the platform, including the death of French streamer Raphaël Graven—known as Jean Pormanove—during a 298-hour livestream, which prompted an investigation into creator protections.

Clavicular, who has built a sizable following through “looksmaxxing” content focused on appearance enhancement, has demonstrated significant influence on the platform.He once raised more than £27,900 (around US$35,000) in a single stream.

Legal experts and child protection advocates are now monitoring the situation closely, and it remains unclear whether authorities will pursue charges. Meanwhile, the incident has intensified pressure on Kick to reassess its content enforcement standards as it continues to expand.
