what do you think the cultural message is? Is it an anime character?

Is he trying to channel some tech bro style known only within an inside clique?

I am not buying that it is natural.

The thing is that he does have a particularly ugly face, all fat and puffy. So, it could be his attempt to counteract that effect. But in men who are not regularly performing on stage or perhaps in studio, it is culturally not common. Hence my idea that it is a cultural signaling. Of what I do not grasp.
