Unfortunately, due to the toxic discussions that have taken place on this post I've decided to lock the comments. Sorry

These kind representations do cause body image problems in men. Some more conscious toy manufacturers did redesign their action figures to look more like actual body builders, even if that is still not how soldiers and other combatants look like in real life (for the most part at least). Some actors dehydrate themselves for shirtless scenes.

They take steroids before filming these movies. It is no secret. You can't achieve that in a few months, that's 100% steroids backed by a team of experts who are giving them the best products in the exact doses they need.

And it absolutely slays me when they refer to Chris Pratt as having a "dad bod" lol

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago

They have to be referring to "Parks and Rec" Chris Pratt, right? Cuz he definitely used to have a dad bod, but he does not anymore.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Chris Pratt used to be well known for never using a spit bucket. His body and career have changed a lot.

It's noticable watching old movies and TV that when the sex symbol takes off their shirt they have a well built but normal body. The modern crustacean look is rather bizarre.

Yikes the anti-feminist takes in this thread lol

Men do not experience body policing in even remotely similar ways to women. If that fact offends you you probably don't actually understand how misogyny functions.

[–] Syrc 22 points 1 year ago (32 children)

The standard of “very good body” is higher for women, sure, but the standard of “good enough body” for women is much, much lower than the one for men.

The first one is useful if you want to be an actor or model, the second if you want to find a partner for life. Guess which of the two is more relevant for the average person.

Unfortunately there are too many "open-minded" and "open-minded"-adjacent people who have huge blindspots to their own hypocrisy and philosophical paradoxes. I've met so many IRL and net-folk who are lefty "activists" who are huge fucking racists and douchebag misogynists. Extinction Rebellion for example is full of them. I get a bad taste in my mouth whenever I remember certain interactions with them.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think that might be related to whether someone sees people as good and bad, or as being capable of doing good and bad things.

From how I see it, classifying people as just good and bad is very reductive in that you assume that bad people do bad things with bad intentions and the opposite for good people. That means that if you're certain that you're a good person, you don't need to question your own actions or motives because you can't do bad.

If you however see people as capable of making good or bad actions with good or bad intentions, you should realize that people you see as good can do bad things and vice versa. That means you should always examine your own motivations and your own decisions to make sure you're doing the right things for the right reasons.

I personally believe this is why it is so common among certain activist groups to harbor some absolutely atrocious beliefs that seem contrary to what they're working for.

points at science project that works out 20 hours a day while taking a cocktail of steroids and hormones from a panel of doctors

This is what a normal man should look like.

[–] suarez 22 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Wonder what steroids they're using

[–] EdibleFriend 34 points 1 year ago (8 children)

And don't forget the intentional dehydration for topless scenes. Hugh Jackman has been very open about that.
