Idk some see it as using it in excess due to body image issues in Hollywood but a lot it seems like its always a thinly veiled shot at the body positive movement whenever I see this mentioned. The South park episode I’m sure helped fuel this. Hell of a lot of moralizing over ozempic in general and people not losing weight the “right way”. thats-why-im-confused

    I think it’s a function of people going off of superficial appearance rather than what is actually healthy or morally okay. It takes a LOT of excess muscle mass for men to start looking weird. Most male celebrities don’t approach the bloated body builder levels of weirdness.

    But weight loss is different. Losing weight quickly can make you look sickly, even if you aren’t. This is especially true if you are older or weren’t overweight to begin with.

      Yeah even the levels they get to are cringe The cuts are no joke. That shirtless scene hugh jackman did the guy was dehydrated as hell. In logan he took that dehydration to extremes. It may seem healthy when they’re shredded or diced but they don’t stay like that very long.
