I can’t help but wonder if that sub is mostly populated by men pretending to be women trying to make women look bad. Not saying that women are immune to being assholes, but it is :reddit-logo: after all, so I definitely wouldn’t be surprised.
The worst instances of toxic masculinity I’ve ever received has been from women.
sometimes some women are in fact bad. like they believe wrong silly things on occasion. the internet makes this phenomenon more frequent among people of all genders.
Plenty of assholes out there :shrug-outta-hecks:
I’m sure there are a few men pretending on there but I have come across women before who genuinely hold these kinds of views. They’re super rare for sure but let’s face it so are incels and there’s enough of them to form various communities.
One thing I’ve noticed in both is they seem to have developed this really weird and toxic ideology that really does seem to have a lot of its roots in the increasing commodification of everything including relationships. I’m not saying it’s the biggest cause or even a cause at all but a lot of the weirder shit seems to almost be an attempt to use something like I dunno a marketing algorythm or something.
I think it’s just terfs.
Pretty infamous for their lack of biological knowledge as well
Oh yeah, that too. Incels and terfs, a match made in heaven.
I’ve seen more than a few mayos pretending to be creepy Indians, not that creepy Indian people obviously don’t exist
I’d wager it’s pretty common on here too
So this is the “femcel” subreddit, yeah?
Imagine thinking people owe you sex, regardless of your gender, what an entitled fucked up worldview.
Bu buh, they once politely laughed at one of my shitty jokes! Are you saying that doesn’t mean that they owe me an orgasm?
This subreddit has interesting lore it started as a pinkpillfeminism offshoot, and with some femcels which they called themself that. The pinkpillers use to support FDS with everything, but the subreddit mods betrayed them, and start to embrace lookism, and started to focus more appearance more.
Before shooting shirtless scenes, male actors have to severely dehydrate themselves starting several days before filming. Their skin loses so much moisture it becomes thinner, forming a tighter contour onto the muscles.
The actors themselves only look like this for 12 or so hours every few weeks at most.
It’s literally less realistic than makeup
Aren’t literally all of the male MCU actors on record about how much of a pain in the ass it is to maintain that physique
All on steroids too and also prob either finasteride or hair plugs
If anyone is unaware, this is not how fat naturally distributes on a naturally active person. Those who focus more on running long distances will become very lean, but not get the definition like this. And people who are focused on more stationary heavy labor (moving boxes, blacksmithing, etc) end up stocky with what we in the fat-obsessed west would call “a gut”. Look up pictures of people competing in strongman competitions. They are some of strongest people in the world, but a lot of them would be described as “chubby” by western beauty standards.
Body builders, meanwhile, call it “sculpting” for a reason. They are on some level trading off strength for definition, to make it more aesthetically pleasing by our beauty standards. I don’t know much about the personal training regiments that blockbuster movie productions employ, but I would guess they make similar tradeoffs despite not needing to get actors near the size of those who compete in worldwide competitions

Weird take but it seems like the one most consequential things modern society and captialism itself took from people of its interior is the idea that our bodies can actually do things.
There are absolutely people who look like this without stepping foot in the gym or paying a single iota of attention to what they eat, but it’s only because of their very specific lifestyles. You won’t find them in the west, but in places like Africa you will see guys who are admittedly not as big as him but just as lean and with more lean muscle mass than the average westerner. I’ve been to South Africa and seen guys who were miners for a living and ate a diet that was high in lean protein like eggs, fish and poultry and do physical labor all day and walk around at like 8% body fat. It’s not because they care about their appearance and count calories etc, but just because they’re too poor to afford addictive processed foods, are extremely active by necessity and by trial and error realize that lean protein makes you feel full for longer.
This is completely unrealistic in the west and many other places though because our diets are made up of processed foods stripped of micronutrients and packed with the addictive compounds that make us want to consume more (sugar, fat and salt). Also in the west, our lives are just less active. I work in construction and while I am definitely more active than the average westerner, it’s nothing compared to people in underdeveloped countries. For instance, obesity wasn’t a huge thing in Mexico until food corporations expanded there and got everyone hooked on processed garbage, and now they’re fatter than the US. Corporations have stolen our health from us and got us addicted to unhealthy food.
Critical support for Jason Mamoa who had to stop drinking water for days to look shredded in Aquaman and almost died.
I forgot about this subreddit, free digital self harm
Now it’s your turn to post a blistering hot take
saw a post there saying if your man doesnt propose within 6 months hes an unserious manchild and you should dump him
found this post sorting top all time
I have no hot takes
Sorry if I wasn’t clear, I meant from the subreddit lol
Ooooh. My favorite take from there is that neurodivergent men aren’t worth your time. It’s alsoreally cool how it’s one of the posts that pops up if you search “neurodivergent” in redidits search functions
We’ll use the right term for u while explaining how u are subhuman and can be written off as a person without any thought. Liberals.
i think the only time redditors aren’t ableist is when they’re too busy being nationalist, transphobic or both.
:swole-doge:
This is the ideal male form. You may not like it, but this is what peak perfection looks like.
FDS is a terf subreddit
-
Extremely upset at people radically changing their body image
-
Honestly believes you can develop six-pack abs by “picking up a few things”
Amazing.
-
Fds is such as trip. Also pretty sure Disney gives him hardcore drugs to look like that
Kinda gotta be a genetic freak to look like thst naturally with low time investment. Bf has also been exercising since he was 16 and has an impressive look about him but that’s what you get after 10+ years of investment without drugs . He still has a belly (with abs which is hot af I uh lick them all the time) when not cutting cause cutting is hell
Obviously this is a glib and overstated case, made in service of a very questionable point, but it isn’t totally wrong. I could look like that if I picked up more heavy things more often and starved myself sometimes.
That’s not only years of heavy lifting, but also an extreme calorie deficit maintained for likely months to trim down to an impossibly cut look.
