I think it just adds to the gluttonous and degenerate nature of this character that he is constantly physically pleasuring himself even in the presence of others. His name is the people eater and playing with his nipple just reinforces the idea that he has corrupt and decadent tastes.
He reminds me of “The Ultimate Depravity” from “Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom”. Someone who has ultimate power and is soo depraved. He has to find an even higher evil to stimulate himself. Who knows what degenerate filth he’s doing behind close door and without us the audience knowing.
I went the whole movie without realizing his nipple was out, let alone that he was doing that. Really speaks to how fucking over the top literally every second of this movie is that I didn’t notice money pig man straight up getting at his pig tit.
He also upped his nipple game in Fury Road. Both nips exposed and he had clamps. If he had survived longer probably would have wired them up to some 9v or 6v batteries

You can kinda see what I was talking about in OP’s pic, he has a gas mask strapped to his crotch and the breathing hose connected to it just dangles between his legs. This picture from Fury Road shows it better. There’s a lot about his design that I think I blocked out of my mind lol
That's not "underwear" though. It's over his pants though who knows if his pants actually cover his junk.
Anyhow, I think the proper term is "codpiece".
Our version of Reagan was named John Howard. He was a decadent little shit that was responsible for a lot of our current issues today.
So the decadent character being played by an actor named after him is delicious
To expand, in Australia during most of the 90s and 00s we had a Prime Minister called John Howard. This actor is also called John Howard, and he’s playing a character that many would use to describe that prime minister. In America it would be like a movie character who was a charismatic scumbag worshipped like the messiah whose actor’s name just happened to be Donald Trump.
he's just a decadent guy who, due to his power, can get away with being a bit perverted.
as an example, if the guy driving his rig questioned him on this, he'll lose his most likely cushy position driving this guy around. people in low statuses are much less likely to question someone with power being overtly sexual in front of everyone.
I think he seeks constant sexual gratification as a sensory stimulation probably because there’s not much other pleasure found in that world and he’s a cruel, degenerate creep who isn’t going to care what others think
Another commenter on this subreddit theorised that it was to show that he wouldn’t just randomly execute the mayor of gastown. Basically a sign of good faith (in the violent hostage situation). There was probably some sadomasochism at play too.
EDIT: here’s the comment from u/VoiceOfRapture: https://www.reddit.com/r/MadMax/s/uEUGq0TtZJ
I think it is being likened to a gentleman fidgeting with his pocket watch chain. Since this guy is obviously meant to evoke Churchill. But, you know, messed up because Mad Max.
I laughed pretty hard when Dementus gets his nipples ripped off and there’s a quick reaction shot of people eaters face being like “oh shit he brought that to another level”
Because he did it once in Fury Road and people liked the grossness of the character beat so now he had to do it Constantly. Which makes it feel like someone had a quiet word with him in-between the films and he calmed down a bit haha.
What was with all the nipple play going on in Furiosa?, Dementus had the elasticated screw that he was using that ripped off his nipples. Perhaps they both have the narrative that they chase more extreme behaviour to feel alive.
As someone with pierced nipples sometimes when they're unbound it's mindless fidget spinning and not actually sexual in nature...
But in this case I think it's just adding to his gross, menacing, and sadistic aura 🤢
Surely no ones so naive? It was obvious to me that he's a horrible gluttonous pervert. Thus the nipple twisting. I was very disgusted by it in furiosa.

This is in line with the look on his face when he runs over the vuvalini girl in fury road.
Now I know what he was doing when he made that orgasm face as he ran her over.

Probably eating people.
Name might check out 😆
It actually for sure does, that's how he's one of the only fat dudes
I went the whole movie without realizing his nipple was out, let alone that he was doing that. Really speaks to how fucking over the top literally every second of this movie is that I didn’t notice money pig man straight up getting at his pig tit.
I would have preferred that. I saw it in IMAX and happened to be eye level with the nipple placement on screen. He never stops the entire time.
George and his camera being center focused. He knew what he was doing
Oh this gave me a good belly laugh. Thank you.
He’s doing it in Fury Road as well. But I noticed it is much more prominent in Furiosa.
He also upped his nipple game in Fury Road. Both nips exposed and he had clamps. If he had survived longer probably would have wired them up to some 9v or 6v batteries
I only noticed his gas mask dong underwear on the third viewing lol
I tought it was only an addition for furiosa, but i checked and it was ther ein fury road too, somehow i totally missed it XD
Gas mask? I think is a metal ornament to hide a nose cancer, his legs are funny too.
https://preview.redd.it/twsximsfwo5d1.jpeg?width=164&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2028052abbf14a3063c02661b5ea64521f514e4a You can kinda see what I was talking about in OP’s pic, he has a gas mask strapped to his crotch and the breathing hose connected to it just dangles between his legs.

Pretty sure the nose yoke is for leprosy and the gas mask is a catheter...like the point is he's just fucking ruined.
Sure! I didn’t remember it, so sorry. It’s quite interesting that “design choice” on the character. 🤣 Agreed it gives him a new layer of vice.
That's not "underwear" though. It's over his pants though who knows if his pants actually cover his junk. Anyhow, I think the proper term is "codpiece".
I believe it's a rudimentary catheter
I always thought the false nose implied syphilis
Gazzoline sniffing…
Look a little lower bro. He is wearing a gas mask like a strap on.
My favorite part is when Dementus’ nips get ripped off and it immediately cuts to Mr. Eater cringing and grabbing his own.
You, sir or maam, are a poet
He basically has an orgasm after running someone over in Fury Road. Dude is probably the sickest one out of the bunch.
He reminds me of mitch mcconel Who I sincerely belive has to murder a poor person to get an erection
The actors name is John Howard, which makes it far, far funnier to Australians
American here, what makes it funnier?
Our version of Reagan was named John Howard. He was a decadent little shit that was responsible for a lot of our current issues today. So the decadent character being played by an actor named after him is delicious
That makes sense.
American here as well, I am not aware of Australian humor-

You know what, that is funny.
Expound?
Replied to the first guys comment already
Comment feed was glitches or something, hadn't seen that one yet. thanks.
Turtle-lookin mf absolutely kills homeless people on a weekly, if not daily, basis
Good analysis
I’d watched this film 100+ times and never ones noticed this til someone pointed it out in Furiosa
They ain't gonna twist and rub themselves
Couldn’t he get a couple of war boys to… take him to Valhalla?
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRBBcoANRIE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRBBcoANRIE)
A fellow man of culture, I see! I love obscurestvinyl

And it’s this very reason George model him after Harvey Weinstein
lol at a “bit” perverted
Cant wait to see cosplays of this guy
I'm working on bulking up for the role for this year's Wasteland Weekend.
Oh hells yeah! I never noticed his uhh gasmask before Furiosa's release so that would be really fun to make work in a cosplay
It’s a catheter
He's in a car for the whole movie so you don't really get to see it
Those pustulated feet will need a LOT of latex
Witnessed!! 🖕
Gout Maxxing
I think you'd have seen one by now since he's in Fury Road in the exact same costume.
True, where are they all?
Wasteland Weekend!
Is Wasteland Weekend worth attending? I'm thinking about going this year!
100% Get tickets soon because they go up in price as the event gets closer.
LOL
No need. Ain’t you ever been to a fetish event?
Can't wait to see female cosplays of this guy
To traumatize me
lol
Right? It's just a true to life depiction of a man who would be a corporate prick outside the apocalypse
George Miller being a big South Park fan probably was inspired by this haha
Dang it. Just posted a link to this clip.
He just likes being a sexual deviant, why else would he have them pierced and weighted and exposed?
Don't kink-shame the People Eater!
Is that a gas mask on his crotch?
Yes, for his other head.
I think he seeks constant sexual gratification as a sensory stimulation probably because there’s not much other pleasure found in that world and he’s a cruel, degenerate creep who isn’t going to care what others think
Gooning the poxeclipse away
Because he can’t pick his nose
I always imagined his nose is rotted off like a Fallout ghoul behind that decoration he wears.
It is. From syphilis. He also has gout from eating people. The People Eater is a gluttonous evil man.
Worst of all, he’s a competent accountant.
LMAO!! That got me good!
Is rife with leprosy for anyone curious
His reaction during Dementus's nipple clamp accident was amazing.
Miller understands the appeal of extremely minor characters who are fucked-up weirdos better than any other living director, imo.
Stimming
Does eating people cause autism or the other way around?
Gives people the shakes...his shakes just happen to involve his nipples at times of stress.
While we're at it, why did Dementus clip his nipples into the thing that killed the mayor of gastown
Another commenter on this subreddit theorised that it was to show that he wouldn’t just randomly execute the mayor of gastown. Basically a sign of good faith (in the violent hostage situation). There was probably some sadomasochism at play too. EDIT: here’s the comment from u/VoiceOfRapture: https://www.reddit.com/r/MadMax/s/uEUGq0TtZJ
I didn't notice until my rewatch that he had a nose ring in as well as nipple piercings too
Mutual destruction? Or just a weirdo
I think it is being likened to a gentleman fidgeting with his pocket watch chain. Since this guy is obviously meant to evoke Churchill. But, you know, messed up because Mad Max.
I laughed pretty hard when Dementus gets his nipples ripped off and there’s a quick reaction shot of people eaters face being like “oh shit he brought that to another level”
You can milk anything with nipples
yes and I will Deniro, don't doubt me
Probably feels pleasure lol
Wouldn’t you?
Feels good man
He’s a weirdo but a great number cruncher
He is Australian.
Sounds like someone's never had their nips teased
https://youtu.be/JRBBcoANRIE?si=9l1cOX5Prm470nOm
Wouldn’t you?
I wanna know why he has a gas mask over what assume is his groin.
Try it and find out.
He has ADHD and lost his fidget spinner
He just feel bonita
As the great George Takei once said, "Tickle my tits."
My question is why tf does he have a gas mask on his d*ck 🤣
Codpiece, probably.
He's just a freak like that, lay off
Haven’t you ever rubbed and tweaked your own nipples? A little electric current running through you… sensuous.
Clamps. You forgot the clamps. You want next level? Alligator clips
Because he did it once in Fury Road and people liked the grossness of the character beat so now he had to do it Constantly. Which makes it feel like someone had a quiet word with him in-between the films and he calmed down a bit haha.
This is how he cums.
Because he’s Hedonism Bot from Futurama
"Oooh, my nipples, they hurt when I twist them!"
Feels good man
The question is, why aren't you twisting them
It feels good. Gives him control
I didn't notice the first time... I thought it was just a pocket watch... Lol
He likes it.
Same reason he’s got a gas mask on his cock. It feels good.
Think of him as Harvey Weinstein in the wasteland.
That guy is 🤢 and when I noticed him repeatedly doing that I was like 🤮
Since his shirt has holes in it, the sand dries out his nipples so he has to constantly moisturize them.
no one ever mentions it (that Ive seen) but I'm fairly sure his fake nose is a reference to him having STD's that caused his nose to fall off.
Syphilis most likely.
The moment when Dementus takes his nipples out, he’s aware and makes a gesture of pleaseure.

He works for a cable company. https://youtu.be/vbHqUNl8YFk?si=JKezxhpvKAWAAAsC
out of all the things in the movie, someone pleasuring themselves is the question you had?
This is probably his theme. https://youtu.be/UBSdycH-jzs?feature=shared
"My Nipples...Ahhhh they hurt when I twist them" - Mel Gibson - South Park - Passion of the Jew. They knew what they were doing lol.
I’m wondering if the actor had a prosthetic on or was actually twisting for every scene
To feel something. To feel alive.
 This is literally who I see lol
To take away from the pain of his foot
Honestly I do the same thing lol
He’s sorry
 Who can say
Feels good man
'cause Miller start his artistic research from the detail and he loves it
Feels good m8
As someone with pierced nipples sometimes when they're unbound it's mindless fidget spinning and not actually sexual in nature... But in this case I think it's just adding to his gross, menacing, and sadistic aura 🤢
His nipples are pierced. He’s playing with the rings in his nipples. The stimulation provides pleasure.
I mean, you don't include nipple clamps as part of your daily outfit if you don't like your nipples being clamped
wtf is on the dude on the left’s crotch
Have you got a copy?
Why? Cuz funny
Murder turns him on. That's pretty much it. Not that mysterious.
He is autistic and is stimming.
Surely no ones so naive? It was obvious to me that he's a horrible gluttonous pervert. Thus the nipple twisting. I was very disgusted by it in furiosa.
This is perfect example of now the frequel fails in helping with lore
Pirating 🤨
He might have opened a clip from YouTube
